Aktief zien op Wikipedia

Hoi jonges! Iech weit tot dit oonderwerp al hoonderd kier euver is gesproke mer v'r zawwe mesjiens 's ech get kinne doen aon 't oetbreije vaan gebruikers op eus Wikipedia. Zawwe v'r beveurbeeld obbenuits reklaam kinne make bij versjillende Veldeke-vereineginge?--Ortjens (euverlègk) 11 mei 2013 04:04 (CEST)

...en maedsjes ;) neet te vergete, meh doe zöls dat ouch waal bedoele. Veer zouwe ins kènne probere, zoawies diech dat veursjtèls op mien euverlèk, luuj de gelegenheid geve um hun artikel nao ein (of miè) e-mailadresse op te sjture. Daonao zètte veer 't op de wikipedia en 'wikificere' 't gehièl. Dat e-mailadres moet dan waal hie en dao kènbaar gemaak were. Iech bin besjiekbaar onder: http://li.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciaal:E-maile/Aelske--Aelske (euverlègk) 11 mei 2013 17:36 (CEST)

Super! Iech zeen evels dien adres neet... Zal iech d'r aanders gewoen eine aonmake? Iech kin 'n paar lui vaan Veldeke Mestreech, die kinne 't bekind make, daan! En diech bis geluif iech taomelijk invloojriek op de Valkebergse Kring, neet?--Ortjens (euverlègk) 11 mei 2013 19:16 (CEST)

E-mailadres

Iech höb zjus gewoen e gaans simpel adres aongemaak dat lui gemekelek kinne oonthawwe um mails nao te sjikke. Dat adres is: limburgsewikipedia@hotmail.com. Veur de lui die 't idee nog duuster vinde: Iech kaom mèt 't idee um 'n e-mailadres aon te make boe lui 'n artikel, die ze zelf höbbe gesjreve, kinne opsjikke, zoedat ze gein idee hove te höbbe wie me get sjrijf op Wikipedia. Vervolges maak iech 't euver in "Wikipedia-taol". V'r motte dit mer 's op 'n gooj meneer gaon verspreije. Zègk miech mer wat geer d'r vaan vin en of geer nog vraoge en/of touwveuginge höb.--Ortjens (euverlègk) 11 mei 2013 19:52 (CEST)

'n Vraog: wae zuut/krieg die mails van dat wikipedia-hotmailadres? Dat ies belangriek umdat emes (...) toch moet reagere? In Valkeberg ies mer eine krink ;) (kring ies mièvoud van krink). --Aelske (euverlègk) 11 mei 2013 20:01 (CEST)

Op dit momint höb iech es einegste 't ziech op de mails. Es g'r wèl kin iech uuch 't wachwoord geve, mer iech weit neet of 't zoe slum is um dat heij in de kaffee te doen. En, inderdaad, krink, ;) --Ortjens (euverlègk) 11 mei 2013 20:50 (CEST)

't Feit dat ein en ander via 'n e-mailadres op naam van wikipedia zal gebeure, kènne veer neet mèt z'n twiè besjliese. Dat moete de ander wiki-mètwèrkersj ouch good vinge. (Laot etb. weite) Of mesjiens ies d'r 'n ander oplossing?--Aelske (euverlègk) 11 mei 2013 22:41 (CEST)

Dat is zoe! Laot 't mer wete!--Ortjens (euverlègk) 18 mei 2013 01:00 (CEST)

Op zich verstaon ich 't idee waal en ich bön waal bereid óm 't 'n kans te gaeve :) --OosWesThoesBes (euverlègk) 18 mei 2013 16:54 (CEST)

Daan bin iech benuid wat Steinbach d'r vaan vin. Iech geluif tot d'r neve uuch neet väöl aandere nog aktief zien, of wel?--Ortjens (euverlègk) 18 mei 2013 20:49 (CEST)

(Bitteke hendeg te laat): Iech zeen 't nöt devaan neet in. Wee get te melde heet, moot dat hei doen, daan kin teminste edereine mètleze! Dat heimelek gedeuns mèt e-mailadresse is good veur niks. Of me zouw get hendeg vertrouweleks te vertèlle mote höbbe; daoveur gief 't jao de e-mailfunctie. Meh es geer meint tot dit wel hölp, daan perbeert miech mer te euvertuige. Steinbach (euverlègk) 4 jun 2013 11:12 (CEST)

Me heet 't ouch euver 'artikele nao us opsjikke', die veer daan kinne wikificere. Meh huurt ins, de sjpas vaan Wikipedia is toch zjus tot me zelf kin sjrieve en zie werk direk online zuut? Steinbach (euverlègk) 4 jun 2013 11:14 (CEST)

Iech begriep wat geer meint, meh iech dink tot d'r twie reijes zien boerum v'r 't bes zawwe kinne doen. Ten ierste ach iech 't realistisch tot lui ziech gaon interessere in Wikipedia heidoor. Doordat ze later hun gesjreve artikele op Wikipedia zien gief 't al 'n groeter kans tot ze hei dèkser trök komme en in 't bèste geval ziech zelfs gaon interessiere um mèt te helpe. Iech dink tot dit ieder motiverend zal wèrke es 'n idee es tot 't 't konsep vaan Wikipedia besjaojeg. Neet te vergete geit 't neet zoe good mèt de activiteit. Iech höb mien tentaomes achter de rök, dös iech kin weer väöl gaon doen, meh 't gief toch nimmie zoeväöl aktiviteit hei es iers. En ten twiede, mesjiens wel 't belaangrieks pönt, es 't gei succès is (v'r merke beveurbeeld tot 't ooneuverziechtelek weurt, rillatief te väöl artikele komme tegeneuver weinig enthousias gebrukers die wille controlere en aonpasse, etc.) kinne v'r d'r wienie v'r wille mèt 't konsep stoppe, neet? En natuurlek is dit konsep neet bedach vaanwege 'vertrouwelekheid', meh sumpelweeg umtot bepaolde lui bang zien veur de 'digitaole taol' dee hei gebruuk weurt... Iech zègk neet tot dit 'n gerantie is veur succes, meh neet gesjote altied mis... En veer zawwe zjus op dit momint motte expirimentere mèt dat soert dinger, wil dees website neet doedblooje..--Ortjens (euverlègk) 14 jun 2013 14:43 (CEST)

Meh veurwat zouw iemes neet hei get sjrieve, en wel 'n ganse teks nao dat adres sjikke? Dat höbste miech nog neet dudelek gemaak. Mèt zoe'nen tössestap maakste d'n dörpel hoeger in plaots vaan lieger... Iech bin 't wel ins mèt diech tot v'r 't projek nui leve mote inbloze. Mesjiens kinne veer dat 't bèste doen door zelf ins oet euze winterslaop te koume. Neet aon de wiki wèrke liekent besmettelek: es d'n eine gaas trök nump, deit d'n aandere innins ouch geine fök mie. Miech kos 't op 't memint tot geine get deit ouch väöl mie meujte um hei op gaank te koume, geer (allemaol) ervaart zeker en vas 'tzelfde. Steinbach (euverlègk) 14 jun 2013 22:35 (CEST)

Apperpo: Spreek miech estebleef mèt doe en diech aon, iech moot nog 30 weure en zoewiezoe pas dat beter bij wat op 't internèt gebrukelek is. :) Steinbach (euverlègk) 14 jun 2013 22:36 (CEST)

Ao, den hoof ich kwa laeftied neet mieë taengen "uch" op te kieke, went v'r sjèllen ós neet zoea väöl denne ;) Mer effekes serieus: Ich zeen waal 'ne meugelike positieve kantj hievan in, al bön ich d'r neet zoea van euvertuug det 't inne praktiek väöl geit oplevere. Wie Ortjens al zal, d'n dörpel kin bis hoeag ligke. Es se-n e sjiek stökske teks gesjreven höbs en doe sjiks 't in via de mail hoofs se neet dich zurg te maken óm wikisyntax en dergelike. Door 'ne regel te sjrieve det in de richting kump van Perbeertj ieës óm zelf get aan te kloeaten en wen 't neet lök, den is hie 'n e-mailadres, is 't perbleem vanne tössesteeg ouch al opgelos. --OosWesThoesBes (euverlègk) 15 jun 2013 20:54 (CEST)

Persies. Obbenuits: neet gesjote, altied mis. En v'r kinne wel blijve zègke tot d'r mie lui aktief zawwe motte zien, meh mèt zègke allein komme v'r neet wijer, bin iech bang. Iech bin natuurlek benuijd es v'r mèt 'n beter oplossing komme, en diech dink tot dat ouch kin, meh bis daan zeen iech neet in boeveur v'r neet kinne expirmèntere.--Ortjens (euverlègk) 16 jun 2013 17:33 (CEST)

Werksfeer en onderlinge communicatie zijn voor verbetering vatbaar

De Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland ondersteunt onder andere het werk van de vrijwilligers die op Wikipedia of een van de zusterprojecten daarvan actief zijn.
Onder de bewerkers van Wikipedia is aan het begin van dit jaar een enquête gehouden met uitndogingen via de banner op deze site. Het onderzoeksbureau concludeerde onder andere "Werksfeer en onderlinge communicatie zijn voor verbetering vatbaar." Wat kunnen we daar gezamenlijk aan doen? Het onderzoeksbureau deed enkele suggesties met de volgende aanbevelingen: "Het ondersteunen van huidige vrijwilligers en het mobiliseren van nieuwe vrijwilligers ziet de achterban als de belangrijkste taken van WMNL. Behoud is dus net zo belangrijk als werven. Met name wat betreft het behouden van vrijwilligers zijn verbeteringen te behalen door de vereniging, want ruim een kwart is ontevreden over de werksfeer binnen Wikipedia en ook ontevreden over de onderlinge communicatie tussen de bewerkers. Sommige pleiten voor meer toezicht vanuit WMNL, door bijvoorbeeld alleen geregistreerde personen te laten bijdragen. Ook zouden wellicht richtlijnen voor bijdragers kunnen helpen bij het verbeteren van de collegialiteit." Op WikiZaterdag 4 mei 2013 hebben de onderzoekers de resultaten van het onderzoek gepresenteerd. Graag ga ik over voorgaande het gesprek aan, bijvoorbeeld tijdens Wikipedia-café. De vereniging is in de gelukkige omstandigheid te beschikken over een budget van enkele honderdduizenden euro en heeft een kantoor in Utrecht waar inmiddels vijf enthousiaste mensen werken, mede om jullie bewerkers van Wikipedia te ondersteunen. Op WikiZaterdag 15 juni 2013 is er een brainstorm met bestuur, leden en vrijwilligers over voortgang strategie, voortgang jaarplan, ideeën leden en vrijwilligers voor activiteiten jaarplan 2014 en begroting 2014. Het bestuur van WMNL wil graag dat van onderop mede richting gegeven wordt aan de activiteiten van WMNL. Laat van je horen! Ad Huikeshoven (euverlègk) 19 mei 2013 13:26 (CEST)

De Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland ondersteunt onder andere het werk van de vrijwilligers die op Wikipedia of een van de zusterprojecten daarvan actief zijn.
Voor zaterdag 2 november aanstaande hebben we onze jaarlijkse Wikimedia Conferentie gepland, onder de naam Wikipediadag. De Wikipediadag is een eendaags evenement voor iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in wiki’s en Wikimedia-projecten, zoals de online encyclopedie Wikipedia. De conferentie vindt plaats in Utrecht. We hopen net als voorgaande jaren boeiende sprekers te krijgen op tal van Wikipedia-gebieden. Voorgestelde thema's zijn: vrouwen & Wikipedia, samenwerken aan Wikipedia (lezers, bewerkers en moderatoren), vakgebieden: experts over hun vakgebied & Wikipedia, De achterkant van Wikipedia: techniek en portals, en Vrije licenties & ontwikkelingen in het auteursrecht. Het programma biedt mogelijkheden voor uiteenlopende initiatieven en ook voor korte bliksemsessies.

Wij nodigen iedereen met een interessant idee voor een presentatie, discussie, workshop, poster voor de postersessie of iets anders van harte uit om een voorstel in te sturen. De voertaal tijdens de conferentie is Nederlands, maar ook presentaties in het Engels zijn welkom.

Wikiprojekske um de gansen tralala nui leve in te bloze

Leef lui, 't liek trop tot 't us e bitteke aon inspiratie oontbrik. Daorum wèl iech uuch gere 't volgende veurstèlle.

De mieste vaan us goon dees daag op verkaantie, heh? Daan kump me toch op plaotse die me neet edersdaag bezeuk, en boe de Limbörgse Wikipedia dèks nog gein artikel euver heet. Iech stèl veur tot edereine sjrijf euver de plaotse die heer heet bezoch. Dao kin heer vas mèt begeistering euver vertèlle en 't ligk veers en levendeg in 't oonthaajd. Daonao zien v'r wel weer wijer; hopelek heet daan edereine weer de smaak te pakke.

Zelf geef iech natuurlek 't good veurbeeld. Iech bin de aofgeloupe week op fietsverkaantie gewees, en gestop in:

Sluis (plaots) Damme Brugge Torhout Westrozebeke Ieper Poperinge Borre (Fraankriek) Hazebroek Steenbeke

Buisscheure Broksele Kassel Nieuwkerke Komen(-Waasten) Kortrijk Oudenaarde Geraardsbergen Onkerzele

Wiet geer zeet, zien sommege links noe al blauw, en iech kin miech veurstèlle tot iech dörper boe iech allein e glaas water höb gedroonke neet zal touwveuge. Meh geer begrep 't princiep. :) Liek dit uuch 'n aardeg idee? Steinbach (euverlègk) 21 jul 2013 11:04 (CEST)

Leef levende lui :),

Is 't e good idee um hei, wie op d'n Ingelse Wikipedia, 'n cat "laevende luuj" aon te make? Biografieë vaan lui die nog leve mote natuurlek weure bijgewèrk, zoelaank este nog aoventouw get vaan ze huurs, meh dat gebäört hei mer zelde. 'n Speciaol categorie veur zoe'n artikele zouwe veer, laote v'r zègke, edersjaor nao kinne loupe en kinne aonvölle. Umtot de Limbörgse Wikipedia nog zoe klein is, zouw die gróp artikele daan vrij gemekelek bij te hawwe zien.

Op de Ingelse cat "Living people" is nogal väöl kritiek umtot ze mèt häör lètterlek hoonderddoezende artikele neet ech praktisch is. Dat bezwoer zouw veur eus categorie neet opgoon.

Pywikipedia is migrating to git

Hello, Sorry for English but It's very important for bot operators so I hope someone translates this. Pywikipedia is migrating to Git so after July 26, SVN checkouts won't be updated If you're using Pywikipedia you have to switch to git, otherwise you will use out-dated framework and your bot might not work properly. There is a manual for doing that and a blog post explaining about this change in non-technical language. If you have question feel free to ask in mw:Manual talk:Pywikipediabot/Gerrit, mailing list, or in the IRC channel. Best Amir (via Global message delivery). 23 jul 2013 15:29 (CEST)

VisualEditor and your Wikipedia

(Please translate this message)

Greetings,

The Wikimedia Foundation will soon turn on VisualEditor for all users, all the time on your Wikipedia. Right now your Wikipedia does not have any local documents on VisualEditor, and we hope that your community can change that. To find out about how you can help with translations visit the TranslationCentral for VisualEditor and read the easy instructions on bringing information to your Wikipedia. The User Guide and the FAQ are very important to have in your language.

We want to find out as much as we can from you about VisualEditor and how it helps your Wikipedia, and having local pages is a great way to start. We also encourage you to leave feedback on Mediawiki where the community can offer ideas, opinions, and point out bugs that may still exist in the software that need to be reported to Bugzilla. If you are able to speak for the concerns of others in English on MediaWiki or locally I encourage you to help your community to be represented in this process.

If you can help translate the user interface for VisualEditor to your language, you can help with that as well. Translatewiki has open tasks for translating VisualEditor. A direct link to translate the user interface is here. You can see how we are doing with those translations here. You need an account on Translatewiki to translate. This account is free and easy to create.

If we can help your community in any way with this process, please let me know and I will do my best to assist your Wikipedia with this |exciting development. You can contact me on my meta talk page or by email. You can also contact Patrick Earley for help with translations and documents on Mediawiki. We look forward to working with you to bring the VisualEditor experience to your Wikipedia! Keegan (WMF) (talk) 30 jul 2013 21:07 (CEST)

HTTPS for users with an account

Greetings. Starting on August 21 (tomorrow), all users with an account will be using HTTPS to access Wikimedia sites. HTTPS brings better security and improves your privacy. More information is available at m:HTTPS.

If HTTPS causes problems for you, tell us on bugzilla, on IRC (in the #wikimedia-operations channel) or on meta. If you can't use the other methods, you can also send an e-mail to https@wikimedia.org.

Concept jaarplan en begroting 2014 Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland

Dit Nederlandstalige bericht is geplaatst in De Kroeg of soortgelijke pagina op de projecten Wikipedia, WikiWoordenboek, Wikibooks, Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wikispecies, Wikiversity, Wikivoyage, Wikinews, Commons, Wikidata, Outreach in de bestaande taalversies Nederlands, Fries, Limburgs, Nedersaksisch en Zeeuws van deze projecten.
Dit bericht is in de eerste plaats bedoeld voor mensen die in Nederland wonen.
Voel je vrij om dit Nederlandstalige bericht te vertalen in het Fries, Limburgs, Nedersaksisch of Zeeuws.
De Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland ondersteunt onder andere het werk van de vrijwilligers die op Wikipedia of een van de zusterprojecten daarvan actief zijn.

Een jaar geleden is een subsidie aangevraagd bij de Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) van de Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) middels een proposal form. De board van de WMF heeft de aanvraag gedeeltelijk toegekend in overeenstemming met de aanbeveling van de FDC.
Voor 1 oktober 2013, dient WMNL een proposal form bij de FDC in te dienen voor het jaar 2014. Net als vorig jaar wil WMNL dat doen op basis van een door de leden tijdens een ALV vastgesteld jaarplan en begroting. Tijdens de ALV van 23 maart 2013 is de volgende motie vastgesteld: "Het begrotingsproces dient zoveel mogelijk open en transparant te verlopen. Leden worden, zowel aan aan het begin van als gedurende het proces om tot een ontwerpbegroting te komen, om hun input gevraagd en actief betrokken," zie daarvoor ook de concept-notulen van de ALV 23 maart 2013.
De pagina jaarplan 2014 op de wiki van de vereniging staat open voor ieders bijdragen met ideeën over wat WMNL wel of niet zou moeten doen in het jaar 2014. Wat wil jij bijdragen aan het bereiken van de missie van de Wikimedia beweging? Hoe kan de Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland jou daar bij ondersteunen? Laat daar van je horen.

Prioriteiten

In het concept jaarplan zijn de volgende prioriteiten voor het jaar 2014 door de directeur benoemd. Het bestuur heeft op basis van een onderlinge peiling de volgorde van de prioriteiten bepaald.

1. Meer vrijwilligers en meer bewerkers mobiliseren. Inzet van kantoorcapaciteit vooral op de activiteiten die hieraan maximaal bijdragen.
2. Verbeteren van de interactie met de Wikipedia-gemeenschap.
3. Inhoudelijk focus op één of twee (nieuwe) thema’s buiten het traditionele GLAM-bereik met groot potentieel om nieuwe bewerkers en vrijwilligers te werven
4. Bestendigen en verder uitbouwen van huidige relaties met grote GLAM instellingen; selectief/kritisch zijn bij het honoreren van nieuwe verzoeken tot samenwerking.
5. Verschillende doelstellingen op het gebied van communicatie met het grote publiek, leden- en donateurswerving aan elkaar koppelen door middel van één grote publiekscampagne.

Request for consultation on community logo

Request for consultation on this community logo

First, I’d like to apologize for the English. If you can, please help to translate this for other members of your community.

The legal team at the Wikimedia Foundation would greatly appreciate your input on the best way to manage the "community logo" (pictured here) to best balance protection of the projects with community support. Accordingly, they have created a “request for consultation” on Meta where they set out briefly some of the issues to be considered and the options that they perceive. Your input would be invaluable in helping guide them in how best to serve our mission.

Thank you! --Mdennis (talk) (via the Global message delivery system). 24 sep 2013 04:49 (CEST) (wrong page? You can fix it.)

Notifications

Notifications inform you of new activity that affects you -- and let you take quick action.

(This message is in English, please translate as needed)

Greetings!

Notifications will inform users about new activity that affects them on this wiki in a unified way: for example, this new tool will let you know when you have new talk page messages, edit reverts, mentions or links -- and is designed to augment (rather than replace) the watchlist. The Wikimedia Foundation's editor engagement team developed this tool (code-named 'Echo') earlier this year, to help users contribute more productively to MediaWiki projects.

We're now getting ready to bring Notifications to almost all other Wikimedia sites, and are aiming for a 22 October deployment, as outlined in this release plan. It is important that notifications is translated for all of the languages we serve.

There are three major points of translation needed to be either done or checked:

• Echo on translatewiki for user interface - you must have an account on translatewiki to translate
• Thanks on translatewiki for user interface - you must have an account on translatewiki to translate
• Notifications help on mediawiki.org. This page can be hosted after translation on mediawiki.org or we can localize it to this Wikipedia. You do not have to have an account to translate on mediawiki, but single-user login will create it for you there if you follow the link.

• Checklist

Please let us know if you have any questions, suggestions or comments about this new tool. For more information, visit this project hub and this help page. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 4 okt 2013 20:54 (CEST)

Speak up about the trademark registration of the Community logo.

Hi all,

Please join the consultation about the Community logo that represents Meta-Wiki: m:Community Logo/Request for consultation.

This community consultation was commenced on September 24. The following day, two individuals filed a legal opposition against the registration of the Community logo.

The question is whether the Wikimedia Foundation should seek a collective membership mark with respect to this logo or abandon its registration and protection of the trademark.

We want to make sure that everyone get a chance to speak up so that we can get clear direction from the community. We would therefore really appreciate the community's help in translating this announcement from English so that everyone is able to understand it.

Thanks, Geoff & Yana 8 okt 2013 22:29 (CEST)

Introducting Beta Features

(Apologies for writing in English. Please translate if necessary)

We would like to let you know about Beta Features, a new program from the Wikimedia Foundation that lets you try out new features before they are released for everyone.

Think of it as a digital laboratory where community members can preview upcoming software and give feedback to help improve them. This special preference page lets designers and engineers experiment with new features on a broad scale, but in a way that's not disruptive.

Beta Features is now ready for testing on MediaWiki.org. It will also be released on Wikimedia Commons and MetaWiki this Thursday, 7 November. Based on test results, the plan is to release it on all wikis worldwide on 21 November, 2013.

Here are the first features you can test this week:

• Media Viewer — view images in large size or full screen
• VisualEditor Formulæ (for wikis with VisualEditor) — edit algebra or equations on your pages
• Typography Refresh — make text more readable (coming Thursday)

Would you like to try out Beta Features now? After you log in on MediaWiki.org, a small 'Beta' link will appear next to your 'Preferences'. Click on it to see features you can test, check the ones you want, then click 'Save'. Learn more on the Beta Features page.

After you've tested Beta Features, please let the developers know what you think on this discussion page -- or report any bugs here on Bugzilla. You're also welcome to join this IRC office hours chat on Friday, 8 November at 18:30 UTC.

Beta Features was developed by the Wikimedia Foundation's Design, Multimedia and VisualEditor teams. Along with other developers, they will be adding new features to this experimental program every few weeks. They are very grateful to all the community members who helped create this project — and look forward to many more productive collaborations in the future.

Enjoy, and don't forget to let developers know what you think! Keegan (WMF) (talk) 5 nov 2013 21:16 (CET)

VisualEditor coming to this wiki

Hello. Please excuse the English. I would be grateful if you can translate this message!

VisualEditor is coming to this project on December 2, 2013. VisualEditor is software in development to allow people to edit pages in MediaWiki without needing to learn wikitext syntax (like typing [[ to start a link). It is already available and in use on some Wikipedia projects. Please see mw:Help:VisualEditor/FAQ for more information.

When this software arrives, you will have the option to use it or to use the current wikitext editor. When you press “edit”, you will get the new VisualEditor software. To use the wikitext editor, you can press “edit source”. For more information about how to use VisualEditor, see mw:Help:VisualEditor/User guide.

We hope that this software will be useful to people in your community, and we can really use your help to make it better! Please let us know if you find any problems. If you're willing and able, please report the issue in bugzilla in the "VisualEditor" product. If you would prefer not, please explain the issue you found on the central feedback page on mediawiki.org. Once VisualEditor is made available, if there are any urgent problems, like an unexpected bug suddenly causing widespread severe problems, please e-mail James Forrester, the Product Manager, at jforrester@wikimedia.org for immediate attention.

We would also appreciate help with translation with the pages about VisualEditor here and on MediaWiki.org, and its user interface. To translate the user interface, start by creating an account at TranslateWiki. Once your account request is approved, all you need to do is select your language from this list. This will give you a list of individual lines and paragraphs. The English original will be on one side, with the option to “edit” on the other. Pressing “edit” will open an edit window where you can work.

The User Guide is another important document. To translate this, simply go to the MediaWiki.org page, and select “translate this page”. Your language should be available from the drop-down menu on the right. If you want to help with translations and would like to talk about how, please leave a message for me on my talk page.

Thank you, and happy editing! -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 17 nov 2013 02:40 (CET)

Call for comments on draft trademark policy

Hi all,

The Wikimedia legal team invites you to participate in the development of the new Wikimedia trademark policy.

The current trademark policy was introduced in 2009 to protect the Wikimedia marks. We are now updating this policy to better balance permissive use of the marks with the legal requirements for preserving them for the community. The new draft trademark policy is ready for your review here, and we encourage you to discuss it here.

We would appreciate if someone would translate this message into your language so more members of your community can contribute to the conversation.

Thanks,
Yana & Geoff

Request for comment on Commons: Should Wikimedia support MP4 video?

I apologize for this message being only in English. Please translate it if needed to help your community.

The Wikimedia Foundation's multimedia team seeks community guidance on a proposal to support the MP4 video format. This digital video standard is used widely around the world to record, edit and watch videos on mobile phones, desktop computers and home video devices. It is also known as H.264/MPEG-4 or AVC.

Supporting the MP4 format would make it much easier for our users to view and contribute video on Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects -- and video files could be offered in dual formats on our sites, so we could continue to support current open formats (WebM and Ogg Theora).

However, MP4 is a patent-encumbered format, and using a proprietary format would be a departure from our current practice of only supporting open formats on our sites -- even though the licenses appear to have acceptable legal terms, with only a small fee required.

We would appreciate your guidance on whether or not to support MP4. Our Request for Comments presents views both in favor and against MP4 support, based on opinions we’ve heard in our discussions with community and team members.

Please join this RfC -- and share your advice.

All users are welcome to participate, whether you are active on Commons, Wikipedia, other Wikimedia project -- or any site that uses content from our free media repository.

You are also welcome to join tomorrow's Office hours chat on IRC, this Thursday, January 16, at 19:00 UTC, if you would like to discuss this project with our team and other community members.

We look forward to a constructive discussion with you, so we can make a more informed decision together on this important topic. Keegan (WMF) (talk) 16 jan 2014 07:47 (CET)

Universal Language Selector will be enabled by default again on this wiki by 21 February 2014

On January 21 2014 the MediaWiki extension Universal Language Selector (ULS) was disabled on this wiki. A new preference was added for logged-in users to turn on ULS. This was done to prevent slow loading of pages due to ULS webfonts, a behaviour that had been observed by the Wikimedia Technical Operations team on some wikis.

We are now ready to enable ULS again. The temporary preference to enable ULS will be removed. A new checkbox has been added to the Language Panel to enable/disable font delivery. This will be unchecked by default for this wiki, but can be selected at any time by the users to enable webfonts. This is an interim solution while we improve the feature of webfonts delivery.

You can read the announcement and the development plan for more information. Apologies for writing this message only in English. Thank you. Runa

Call for project ideas: funding is available for community experiments

I apologize if this message is not in your language. Please help translate it.

Do you have an idea for a project that could improve your community? Individual Engagement Grants from the Wikimedia Foundation help support individuals and small teams to organize experiments for 6 months. You can get funding to try out your idea for online community organizing, outreach, tool-building, or research to help make Wikipedia better. In March, we’re looking for new project proposals.

Examples of past Individual Engagement Grant projects:

• Organizing social media for Chinese Wikipedia ($350 for materials)
• Improving gadgets for Visual Editor ($4500 for developers)
• Coordinating access to reliable sources for Wikipedians ($7500 for project management, consultants and materials)
• Building community and strategy for Wikisource (€10000 for organizing and travel)

Proposals are due by 31 March 2014. There are a number of ways to get involved!

Hope to have your participation,

--Siko Bouterse, Head of Individual Engagement Grants, Wikimedia Foundation 28 fib 2014 20:44 (CET)

Changes to the default site typography coming soon

This week, the typography on Wikimedia sites will be updated for all readers and editors who use the default "Vector" skin. This change will involve new serif fonts for some headings, small tweaks to body content fonts, text size, text color, and spacing between elements. The schedule is:

• April 1st: non-Wikipedia projects will see this change live
• April 3rd: Wikipedias will see this change live

This change is very similar to the "Typography Update" Beta Feature that has been available on Wikimedia projects since November 2013. After several rounds of testing and with feedback from the community, this Beta Feature will be disabled and successful aspects enabled in the default site appearance. Users who are logged in may still choose to use another skin, or alter their personal CSS, if they prefer a different appearance. Local common CSS styles will also apply as normal, for issues with local styles and scripts that impact all users.

For more information:

• Summary of changes and FAQ
• Discussion page for feedback or questions
• Post on blog.wikimedia.org

Zjeneert uuch!

Vaanmörge controleerde iech de Recènte Verangeringe, en 't gaof alweer zinloes Braziliaonse actricespam. Weer twie nui artikelkes vaan niks door iemes wat gei Limbörgs kint en allein mer op zoeväöl meugelek wiki's ziennen hobby wèlt oetveure.

Boeveur iech miech dao-euver zoe opdrej? Umtot dit de insegste nui artikele zien die nog binnekoume, neve die iech zelf sjrijf. Jeh mier nog: neve mie werk aon dees wiki koume alle bewèrkinge vaan al of neet anoniem boetestaonders!

Tien jaor geleie is de Limbörgse Wikipedia gestiech. E paar maond later (december 2004) kaom iech debij. Ze had toen nege artikele en wijers mer eine gebruker dee hiel aoventouw get deeg. De koumende maond evels greujde 't aontal gebrukers gestiedeg. Iech zaog 'n groete touwkoms veur 't projek. Euver e paar jaor, dach iech toen, zouw 't projek tientalle vaste gebrukers oet alle heuk vaan 't Limbörgs taolgebeed kinne, en tiendoezende artikele höbbe.

En noe, loert noe ins um uuch heer! Iech höb Wikipedia sins iec debij kaom nog noets zoe doed gezeen. Eine veur eine ziet geer, al of neet aongekundeg, eweggegaange, um huugstens nog eine kier in de paar weke vaan uuch te doen hure. Talloes kiere höb iech geperbeerd uuch aon te zètte um nui artikele te sjrieve, of um minstens eur wio's aof te make. Ederskier - zelfs wienie iech 't expliciet op eur euverlèkpazjes kaom vraoge - kraog iech 0,000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 op 't rekes.

Geer kint miech neet wiesmake tot g'r oetgesjreve ziet. Dat ziet g'r zoewiezoe al neet zoelaank es g'r nog wio's achterlaot. En Wikipedia is noets veerdeg, zeker neet es 't mer 15.043 artikele gief en neet veer'nhaaf mieljoen. Ouch op eur eige expertisegebeed vèlt nog genoog te sjrieve, en ouch de bron vaan typisch Limbörgse artikele is nog laank neet opgedruug. (Vergeliek allein mer wat hei euver de Limbörge te vinde is mèt wat dao-euver op de Nederlandse Wikipedia steit.) 't Gief mer twie meugelekhede.

Ik begrijp je frustratie, Steinbach, want zo voel ik mij ook vaak op de vls, de Vlaamse Wiki. Zoals jij heb ik ook ooit gedacht dat het aan mij lag, maar waarschijnlijk is dat niet zo. Het is nu eenmaal niet makkelijk om een artikel te schrijven in het dialect en als je het goed wil doen kruipt daar enorm veel tijd in. Veel mensen vinden ook dat een dialect-Wiki geen zin heeft. Ik ben het daar helemaal niet mee eens, zeker nu dat de dialecten overal langzaam maar zeker aan het verdwijnen zijn. Op de Waalse Wiki bvb. is er ook maar één persoon die echt actief is. En ik vind het goed dat die Wiki er is. De meeste Belgen weten niet dat er in Wallonië ook een taal is die werd verdrongen door het Frans. Dat is niet gebeurd met het Vlaams in België maar wel met het Frans-Vlaams, en dus ook met het Waals. Ik wil alleen maar zeggen, Steinbach, dat ik je werk op deze Wiki wel belangrijk vind. En het zou jammer zijn dat we onze enige actieve bureaucraat op de vls zouden kwijt zijn. ;-) --Zeisterre (euverlègk) 1 mei 2014 15:51 (CEST)

No one needs free knowledge in Esperanto

There is a current discussion on German Wikipedia on a decision of Asaf Bartov, Head of WMF Grants and Global South Partnerships, Wikimedia Foundation, who rejected a request for funding a proposal from wikipedians from eowiki one year ago with the explanation the existence, cultivation, and growth of the Esperanto Wikipedia does not advance our educational mission. No one needs free knowledge in Esperanto. On meta there has also started a discussion about that decision. --Holder (euverlègk) 5 mei 2014 12:38 (CEST)

Media Viewer

Greetings, my apologies for writing in English.

I wanted to let you know that Media Viewer will be released to this wiki in the coming weeks. Media Viewer allows readers of Wikimedia projects to have an enhanced view of files without having to visit the file page, but with more detail than a thumbnail. You can try Media Viewer out now by turning it on in your Beta Features. If you do not enjoy Media Viewer or if it interferes with your work after it is turned on you will be able to disable Media Viewer as well in your preferences. I invite you to share what you think about Media Viewer and how it can be made better in the future.

Thank you for your time. - Keegan (WMF) 23 mei 2014 23:29 (CEST)

[en] Updating the logo to the standard one

Apologies for writing in English.

Hello,

I noticed that the logo here is using the very old version of the Wikipedia logo which was replaced 5 years ago, and is not the right logo. There is an updated Limburgish version available for over a year; would it be OK to switch out the old version with the standard one?

Jdforrester (WMF) (euverlègk) 18 jun 2014 18:58 (CEST)

No. The community voted on the issue, we like the old logo better and dismissed the new one. Please don't shove it up oar throats. Steinbach (euverlègk) 19 jun 2014 19:01 (CEST)

@Steinbach: Interesting. Could you please link me to that discussion, or summarise your reasons for not wanting to share in the same logo that all the hundreds of other communities use to identify themselves? Do you feel that this is respectful of the other communities' work? Jdforrester (WMF) (euverlègk) 20 jun 2014 00:06 (CEST)

Using only UploadWizard for uploads

Hello! Sorry for writing in English. It was noted that on this wiki upload is not fully functional for users, who will experience a very difficult and/or illegal uploading. In fact, the licenses/copyright tags dropdown is empty, making it hard or impossible to comply with copyright requirements during upload itself.

Presumably, you don't have interest nor energies to have hundreds templates with the now required HTML, even less a local EDP. I propose to have

• local "Upload" restricted to the "Administrators" group (for emergency uploads) and
• the sidebar point to commons:Special:UploadWizard,

so that you can avoid local maintenance and all users can have a functioning, easy upload interface in their own language. All registered users can upload on Commons and existing files will not be affected.

All this will get done around 2014-07-03.

1. If you disagree with the proposal, just remove your wiki from the list. Remember also to create MediaWiki:Licenses locally with any content (see a simple example), or uploads will be soon disabled anyway by MediaWiki itself (starting in version 1.24wmf11).
2. To make the UploadWizard even better, please tell your experience and ideas on commons:Commons:Upload Wizard feedback.

Media Viewer is now live on this wiki

Media Viewer lets you see images in larger size

Greetings— and sorry for writing in English, please translate if it will help your community,

The Wikimedia Foundation's Multimedia team is happy to announce that Media Viewer was just released on this site today.

Media Viewer displays images in larger size when you click on their thumbnails, to provide a better viewing experience. Users can now view images faster and more clearly, without having to jump to separate pages — and its user interface is more intuitive, offering easy access to full-resolution images and information, with links to the file repository for editing. The tool has been tested extensively across all Wikimedia wikis over the past six months as a Beta Feature and has been released to the largest Wikipedias, all language Wikisources, and the English Wikivoyage already.

If you do not like this feature, you can easily turn it off by clicking on "Disable Media Viewer" at the bottom of the screen, pulling up the information panel (or in your your preferences) whether you have an account or not. Learn more in this Media Viewer Help page.

Please let us know if you have any questions or comments about Media Viewer. You are invited to share your feedback in this discussion on MediaWiki.org in any language, to help improve this feature. You are also welcome to take this quick survey in English, en français, o español.

We hope you enjoy Media Viewer. Many thanks to all the community members who helped make it possible. - Fabrice Florin (WMF) (talk) 19 jun 2014 23:54 (CEST)

VisualEditor global newsletter—June 2014

This is a one-time mailing to projects that may need this information. Future newsletters will be available as opt-in only. To receive future newsletters (about one per month), please add your page to the subscribers' list at m:VisualEditor/Newsletter. You're welcome to translate to your language.

Did you know?

The character formatting menu, or "Maak teks op" menu lets you set bold, italic, and other text styles. "Clear formatting" removes all text styles and removes links to other pages.

Do you think that clear formatting should remove links? Are there changes you would like to see for this menu? Share your opinion at MediaWiki.org.

The user guide has information about how to use VisualEditor.

The VisualEditor team is mostly working to fix bugs, improve performance, reduce technical debt, and other infrastructure needs. You can find on Mediawiki.org weekly updates detailing recent work.

• They have moved the "Sjneltoetse" link out of the "Pagina-instellingen" menu, into the "Hölp" menu. Within dialog boxes, buttons are now more accessible (via the Tab key) from the keyboard.
• You can now see the target of the link when you click on it, without having to open the inspector.
• The team also expanded TemplateData: You can now add a parameter type "date" for dates and times in the ISO 8601 format, and "boolean" for values which are true or false. Also, templates that redirect to other templates (like {{citeweb}} → {{cite web}}) now get the TemplateData of their target (bug 50964). You can test TemplateData by editing mw:Template:Sandbox/doc.
• Category: and File: pages now display their contents correctly after saving an edit (bug 65349, bug 64239)
• They have also improved reference editing: You should no longer be able to add empty citations with VisualEditor (bug 64715), as with references. When you edit a reference, you can now empty it and click the "use an existing reference" button to replace it with another reference instead.
• It is now possible to edit inline images with VisualEditor. Remember that inline images cannot display captions, so existing captions get removed. Many other bugs related to images were also fixed.
• You can now add and edit {{DISPLAYTITLE}} and __DISAMBIG__ in the "Pagina-instellingen" menu, rounding out the full set of page options currently planned.
• The tool to insert special characters is now wider and simpler.

Looking ahead

The VisualEditor team has posted a draft of their goals for the next fiscal year. You can read them and suggest changes on MediaWiki.org.

The team posts details about planned work on VisualEditor's roadmap. You will soon be able to drag-and-drop text as well as images. If you drag an image to a new place, it won't let you place it in the middle of a paragraph. All dialog boxes and windows will be simplified based on user testing and feedback. The VisualEditor team plans to add autofill features for citations. Your ideas about making referencing quick and easy are still wanted. Support for upright image sizes is being developed. The designers are also working on support for viewing and editing hidden HTML comments and adding rows and columns to tables.

Supporting your wiki

Please read VisualEditor/Citation tool for information on configuring the new citation template menu, labeled "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽". This menu will not appear unless it has been configured on your wiki.

If you speak a language other than English, we need your help with translating the user guide. The guide is out of date or incomplete for many languages, and what's on your wiki may not be the most recent translation. Please contact us if you need help getting started with translation work on MediaWiki.org.

VisualEditor can be made available to most non-Wikipedia projects. If your community would like to test VisualEditor, please contact product manager James Forrester or file an enhancement request in Bugzilla.

Please share your questions, suggestions, or problems by posting a note at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback or by joining the office hours on Saturday, 19 July 2014 at 21:00 UTC (daytime for the Americas and Pacific Islands) or on Thursday, 14 August 2014 at 9:00 UTC (daytime for Europe, Middle East, Asia).

If you'd like to get this newsletter on your own page (about once a month), please subscribe at Meta (or at w:en:Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Newsletter for English Wikipedia only). Thank you! --Elitre (WMF), 26 jun 2014 00:33 (CEST)

Status van Wikipedia

Dit Nederlandstalige bericht is geplaatst in De Kroeg of soortgelijke pagina op de projecten Wikipedia, WikiWoordenboek, Wikibooks, Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wikiversity, Wikivoyage, Commons, Wikidata in de bestaande taalversies Nederlands, Fries, Limburgs, Nedersaksisch en Zeeuws van deze projecten.
Dit bericht is in de eerste plaats bedoeld voor mensen die in Nederland wonen.
Voel je vrij om dit Nederlandstalige bericht te vertalen in het Fries, Limburgs, Nedersaksisch of Zeeuws.
De Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland ondersteunt onder andere het werk van de vrijwilligers die op Wikipedia of een van de zusterprojecten daarvan actief zijn.

Wat zullen ze tijdens Wikimania in Londen zeggen over Wikipedia?

Over drie weken komen Wikimedianen uit meer dan zestig landen bij elkaar in Londen. Gedurende drie dagen wisselen ze verhalen uit over wat er speelt op hun wiki project. Na Wikimania vliegen ze geïnspireerd terug naar huis, gevoed met verhalen uit de hele wereld. Welk verhaal over Wikipedia zal de wereld overgaan?
Vanuit Nederland bezoeken zeker 16 mensen Wikimania. Met welk verhaal zullen zij naar Londen gaan? Schrijf mee aan Wikipedia:Status van de wiki juli-augustus 2014 en help mee de tien punten op te sommen die Wikipedia nu tot een geweldig, grandioos, voortreffelijk project hebben gemaakt. Leef je uit en benoem wat het voor jou fantastisch maakt om mee te werken aan Wikipedia.
Nadat er tenminste tien punten zijn opgesomd die goed gaan met Wikipedia kan op Euverlèk Wikipedia:Status van de wiki juli-augustus 2014 overlegd worden over wat er minder goed gaat. Dan kan eventueel na die discussie een verbeterpunt toegevoegd worden aan de tien positieve punten op Wikipedia:Status van de wiki juli-augustus 2014.
Dank je wel! In Nederland is het nu zomer en zouden we geneigd zijn dit een zomerrapport te noemen. Het is nu op het zuidelijk halfrond winter en vandaar de aanduiding van de maanden in plaats van het jaargetijde. Ad Huikeshoven (euverlègk) 19 jul 2014 14:58 (CEST)

VisualEditor global newsletter—July and August 2014

The VisualEditor team is currently working mostly to fix bugs, improve performance, reduce technical debt, and other infrastructure needs. You can find on Mediawiki.org weekly updates detailing recent work.

Dialog boxes in VisualEditor have been re-designed to use action words instead of icons. This has increased the number of items that need to be translated. The user guide is also being updated.

The biggest visible change since the last newsletter was to the dialog boxes. The design for each dialog box and window was simplified. The most commonly needed buttons are now at the top. Based on user feedback, the buttons are now labeled with simple words (like "Cancel" or "Done") instead of potentially confusing icons (like "<" or "X"). Many of the buttons to edit links, images, and other items now also show the linked page, image name, or other useful information when you click on them.

• Hidden HTML comments (notes visible to editors, but not to readers) can now be read, edited, inserted, and removed. A small icon (a white exclamation mark on a dot) marks the location of each comments. You can click on the icon to see the comment.
• You can now drag and drop text and templates as well as images. A new placement line makes it much easier to see where you are dropping the item. Images can no longer be dropped into the middle of paragraphs.
• All references and footnotes (<ref> tags) are now made through the "⧼visualeditor-toolbar-cite-label⧽" menu, including the "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-reference-tooltip⧽" (manual formatting) footnotes and the ability to re-use an existing citation, both of which were previously accessible only through the "Veug in" menu. The "⧼visualeditor-dialogbutton-referencelist-tooltip⧽" is still added via the "Veug in" menu.
• When you add an image or other media file, you are now prompted to add an image caption immediately. You can also replace an image whilst keeping the original caption and other settings.
• All tablet users visiting the mobile web version of Wikipedias will be able to opt-in to a version of VisualEditor from 14 August. You can test the new tool by choosing the beta version of the mobile view in the Settings menu.
• The link tool has a new "Open" button that will open a linked page in another tab so you can make sure a link is the right one.
• The "Cancel" button in the toolbar has been removed based on user testing. To cancel any edit, you can leave the page by clicking the Read tab, the back button in your browser, or closing the browser window without saving your changes.

Looking ahead

The team posts details about planned work on the VisualEditor roadmap. The VisualEditor team plans to add auto-fill features for citations soon. Your ideas about making referencing quick and easy are still wanted. Support for upright image sizes is being developed. The designers are also working on support for adding rows and columns to tables. Work to support Internet Explorer is ongoing.

Feedback opportunities

The Editing team will be making two presentations this weekend at Wikimania in London. The first is with product manager James Forrester and developer Trevor Parscal on Saturday at 16:30. The second is with developers Roan Kattouw and Trevor Parscal on Sunday at 12:30. There is a VisualEditor Translation Sprint going on during Wikimania; whether you're in London or not, any contributions are welcome!

Please share your questions, suggestions, or problems by posting a note at the VisualEditor feedback page or by joining the office hours discussion on Thursday, 14 August 2014 at 09:00 UTC (daytime for Europe, Middle East and Asia) or on Thursday, 18 September 2014 at 16:00 UTC (daytime for the Americas; evening for Europe).

Hello and sorry for writing in English. Can anyone help me translate a small article (2 paragraphs) from English to your language and create the article in your wiki? Please, fell free to answer in my talk page in your wiki anytime. Thanks! Xaris333 (euverlègk) 13 aug 2014 03:09 (CEST)

IMPORTANT: Admin activity review

Hello. A new policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc) was recently adopted by global community consensus (your community received a notice about the discussion). According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on smaller wikis. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the new admin activity review here.

We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for more than 2 years):

1. Pahles (bureaucrat, administrator)

These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.

However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the stewards on Meta-Wiki so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks, Rschen7754 15 aug 2014 06:48 (CEST)

Iech höb inderdaad 'nen email gekrege boe-in bovestaonde weurt besjreve ('t steit ouch op mien euverlègkpagina).

Letter petitioning WMF to reverse recent decisions

The Wikimedia Foundation recently created a new feature, "superprotect" status. The purpose is to prevent pages from being edited by elected administrators -- but permitting WMF staff to edit them. It has been put to use in only one case: to protect the deployment of the Media Viewer software on German Wikipedia, in defiance of a clear decision of that community to disable the feature by default, unless users decide to enable it.

If you oppose these actions, please add your name to this letter. If you know non-Wikimedians who support our vision for the free sharing of knowledge, and would like to add their names to the list, please ask them to sign an identical version of the letter on change.org.

Process ideas for software development

’’My apologies for writing in English.’’

Hello,

I am notifying you that a brainstorming session has been started on Meta to help the Wikimedia Foundation increase and better affect community participation in software development across all wiki projects. Basically, how can you be more involved in helping to create features on Wikimedia projects? We are inviting all interested users to voice their ideas on how communities can be more involved and informed in the product development process at the Wikimedia Foundation. It would be very appreciated if you could translate this message to help inform your local communities as well.

I and the rest of my team welcome you to participate. We hope to see you on Meta.

Kind regards, -- Rdicerb (WMF) talk 22 aug 2014 00:15 (CEST)

Waarmee kan Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland de bewerkers van Wikipedia in het jaar 2015 helpen?

Dit Nederlandstalige bericht is geplaatst in De Kroeg of soortgelijke pagina op de projecten Wikipedia, WikiWoordenboek, Wikibooks, Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wikispecies, Wikiversity, Wikivoyage, Wikinews, Commons, Wikidata, Outreach in de bestaande taalversies Nederlands, Fries, Limburgs, Nedersaksisch en Zeeuws van deze projecten. Dit bericht is in de eerste plaats bedoeld voor mensen die in Nederland wonen. Voel je vrij om dit Nederlandstalige bericht te vertalen in het Fries, Limburgs, Nedersaksisch of Zeeuws.

De Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland ondersteunt onder andere het werk van de vrijwilligers die op Wikipedia of een van de zusterprojecten daarvan actief zijn.

Heb jij ideeën over wat Wikimedia Nederland wel of niet zou moeten doen?

Wil jij invloed uitoefenen op wat Wikimedia Nederland wel of niet doet en waar Wikimedia Nederland geld aan uit geeft?

De eerste prioriteit van de Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland (WMNL) is het ondersteunen van de bewerkers van Wikipedia en zusterprojecten in Nederland. WMNL is een vereniging die juridisch onafhankelijk is van de Wikimedia Foundation. Door ruimhartige financiële steun van de Wikimedia Foundation kan WMNL heel wat doen met een kantoorruimte in Utrecht waar vijf mensen werken om de gemeenschap van leden en vrijwilligers te ondersteunen. Over drie weken op zaterdag 20 september 2014 gaat de Algemene Ledenvergadering (ALV) het jaarplan 2015 vaststellen. Het jaarplan is mede gebaseerd op het in het jaar 2012 vastgestelde meerjarenplan 2013-2015. Graag zou ik willen weten aan wat voor ondersteuning jullie eventueel behoefte hebben. De verkregen feedback tot nu toe is 'aandacht geven aan zusterprojecten'. Hieronder kun je lezen wat in het meerjarenplan 2013-2015 staat over 'community' met doelen en activiteiten.

COMMUNITY: ondersteunen en mobiliseren van vrijwilligers

De missie van Wikimedia Nederland kan alleen gerealiseerd worden wanneer mensen zich actief inzetten om kennis vrij beschikbaar te maken via Wikipedia en andere Wikimedia-projecten en activiteiten. Het doel voor de komende jaren: meer actieve bewerkers en vrijwilligers die effectief worden ondersteund vanuit de Vereniging. Het creëren van mogelijkheden voor vrijwilligers en bewerkers om actief te zijn en het bieden van ondersteuning aan hun inzet is de komende jaren een kerntaak van Wikimedia Nederland, evenals het motiveren en activeren van nieuwe vrijwilligersgroepen. Het moet breed bekend zijn dat Wikipedia een vrijwilligersproject is, waar iedereen aan mag meewerken en in onze outreach activiteiten gaan we met name daar de nadruk op leggen. Vrijwilligers en bewerkers kunnen zowel online als offline rekenen op de ondersteuning van Wikimedia Nederland bij hun activiteiten: bij het creëren van content, de contacten met (potentiële) partnerorganisaties en het op andere manieren bevorderen van vrije kennis. De vereniging werkt hieraan door aansluiting te zoeken op individuele competenties, voorkeuren en wensen. Vraaggericht en individueel wordt een breed scala van mogelijkheden en faciliteiten aangeboden. Dit gebeurt mede door het bieden van een sociale infrastructuur waarbinnen de vrijwilligers zich kunnen ontplooien en kunnen samenwerken om tot resultaten te komen. Doelen De instroom van vrijwilligers en bewerkers is vergroot: nog meer mensen zijn zelf actief in Wikipedia of andere activiteiten en projecten Vrijwilligers en bewerkers krijgen van Wikimedia Nederland effectieve, doelgerichte steun die hen in staat stelt optimaal en met plezier actief te zijn en te blijven; De communicatie met vrijwilligers en bewerkers loopt via korte en informele lijnen De vrijwilligers en bewerkers voelen zich gewaardeerd om hun betrokkenheid en voelen zich niet geremd om initiatief te tonen Activiteiten 1.1 Organiseren van laagdrempelige, aansprekende publieksevenementen, projecten en activiteiten die de actieve deelname van geïnteresseerden stimuleren en mogelijk maken 1.2 Contact en samenwerking zoeken met andere vrijwilligersorganisaties om hun achterban te interesseren en mobiliseren voor Wikimedia-projecten en activiteiten 1.3 Opzetten van introductie-cursussen voor potentiële Wikipedia-bewerkers en het trainen van trainers voor deze cursussen 2.1 Regelmatig bij bewerkers en vrijwilligers nagaan welke soort en vorm van ondersteuning zij nodig hebben 2.2 Deelname van vrijwilligers en bewerkers aan cursussen, congressen en workshops mogelijk maken 2.3 Op uitleenbasis beschikbaar stellen van apparatuur aan vrijwilligers en bewerkers 2.4 Vrijwilligers en bewerkers desgevraagd ondersteuning bieden door medewerkers 2.5 Beschikbaar stellen van fondsen voor (kleine) projecten en activiteiten van vrijwilligers en bewerkers 3.1 Aanbieden van duidelijke kanalen voor directe communicatie tussen Vereniging en alle vrijwilligers c.q. optimaliseren van bestaande kanalen 4.1 Vrijwilligers en bewerkers nader bij vereniging betrekken als ‘specialisten’, in adviesgroepen etc. 4.2 Organiseren van kleinschalige ‘community events’ zoals Wiki-zaterdag, Wiki meets….

Jullie zijn allemaal van harte welkom tijdens de ALV op zaterdag 20 september 2014 om je stem te laten horen. Je kunt nu al je ideeën kwijt en je reactie geven op onderstaande vragen, zeker voor hen die niet naar de ALV van WMNL willen of kunnen komen. Dit bericht is op persoonlijke titel gepost door Dedalus (euverlègk) 30 aug 2014 11:23 (CEST). Voor de leesbaarheid volgen de vragen na de ondertekening.

Welke activiteiten zou Wikimedia Nederland met voorrang moeten oppakken?

Uitnodiging prijsuitreiking Wiki Loves Earth in Naturalis

Op zondag 5 oktober organiseert Wikimedia Nederland in samenwerking met Naturalis een schrijfworkshop voor mensen die willen leren hoe je artikelen kan bewerken en schrijven op Wikipedia, uiteraard in thema van de Nederlandse natuur. De middag combineert toegang tot de bibliotheek en de naslagwerken van Naturalis met een ontspannen bezoekje aan het museum: een uitgelezen kans om eens dieper in de materie te duiken. Zowel ervaren als onervaren schrijvers voor de encyclopedie worden van harte welkom geheten. De middag wordt afgesloten met een gezamenlijk drankje. Voor inschrijvingen bezoek je ons formulier.

Dezelfde middag, aansluitend op de schrijfworkshop, is de prijsuitreiking van het Nederlandse onderdeel van de fotowedstrijd Wiki Loves Earth. Voorafgaand is een museumbezoek mogelijk en achteraf praten we graag na onder het genot van een drankje. Schrijf je voor de prijsuitreiking in via het dit formulier. Als je je reeds hebt ingeschreven voor de schrijfworkshop, dan is opnieuw inschrijven niet nodig.

Meer informatie over beide evenementen vind je uiteraard op onze website.

Change in renaming process

Part or all of this message may be in English. Please help translate if possible.

Single-user login (SUL) finalisation's goal is so that every Wikimedia editor has a single, recognized global account with one username across all projects. As you may know, after a long delay, it's now underway as an effort between bureaucrats, stewards, and Wikimedia Foundation engineers. This will also allow for development of cross-wiki tools like global notifications and watchlists. There is no set date for the completion of single-user login finalization at this time.

The process involves changing all rename processes into one global renaming process. The ability for local bureaucrats to rename users on this wiki will be turned off on Monday, 15 September 2014, as one of the first steps. Global renamers are in the process of being created to make sure projects and languages are represented by the time this occurs. I sent a note to every bureaucrat about this process three weeks ago with an invitation to participate and many have begun requesting to be a part of the group. Together with the stewards, the global renamers will be empowered to help editors work through the often difficult process of getting a global name.

In parting, visit Special:MergeAccount to unify your account if you have never done so. If your local pages about renaming still need to be updated, please do so and consider pointing people to m:SRUC for future rename requests, especially if this project does not have bureaucrats that hold global renamer permissions. If you have any questions, you can read more on the help page on Meta. You can also follow the technical progress on mediawiki.org. Contact me on Meta any time with questions as well. Thank you for your time.

Hoj Owtb, iech daon dat ouch periodiek. Höb beveurbeeld alle Nederlands-Limbörgse gemeintes touwgeveug (nou jeh, 'n inkel waor mesjiens ieder veur miech gedoon), later alle NL-Limbörgse dörper en iech höb ouch gewèrk aon e projek veur Belsj Limbörg. De wèts wie dat geit: me brik zoe'n ambitieus projekte dèks weer aof, väöl veur 'n aandert. Daobij laot iech zoe'n werk ouch gere aon uuch euver, umtot geer de umgeving beter kint en wèt boe-euver d'r sjrijf. Meh good, iech zal zien of iech binnekort nog ins get dörpkes in Belsj-Limbörg kin touwveuge. Steinbach (euverlègk) 18 sep 2014 19:47 (CEST)

Haha, det is good. Ich zeen trouwes det Nederlandjs Limburg praktisch klaor is m.o.v. e paar plaetskes, mer 't zów inderdaad fijn zeen es doe dich op 't Belsj kins focusse, den zörg ich waal veure Pruusje kantj :) --OosWesThoesBes (euverlègk) 19 sep 2014 06:56 (CEST)

Bèste twie, mesjien e stom vräögske, mèh boe hèlt Limbörg eigelek op in Duitsland? Is daor überhaupt 'ne grens aon te duijje? Tenth Plague (euverlègk) 12 okt 2014 00:26 (CEST)

Hoj Tenth Plague, dat is gein stom vraog, meh wel 'n lestege. :) 'Limbörg' ligk neet in Duitsland (nou jeh, de stad Limburg a/d Lahn, meh dat is get aanders), Limbörgs weurt wel in Duitsland gesproke (de vraog is wie laank nog, want 't steit dao gans get slechter deveur es in Nederland). De Pruse zelf definiëre 't Limbörgs es alle dialekte die tösse de Uerdinger Linie en de Benrather Linie ligke, dus boe me ich maak etc. zeet en neet ik maak of ich mach(e). (Veur Nederland zouw dat trouwens beteikene tot Venloos en Kèrkraojs gein Limbörgse dialekte zien.) De Uerdinger Linie - de grens tösse ik en ich - löp vaanaof Venlo rechoet nao 't ooste euver de grens. De Benrather Linie (de grens tösse make en mache, die wijer nao 't zuie ligk) löp mie sjuins (ZW-NO), zoetot 't Limbörgs taolgebeed in Duitsland taps touwlöp. Meh 't löp nog tientalle kilometers door, tot veurbij de Rijn in 't Land Bergen. Dat wèlt neet zègke tötste de lui in beveurbeeld Krieëvel (Krefeld) zoe kins verstoon, meh bekind veurkoume zal 't diech wel. Owtb kin dus bès 'n indsje doorgoon mèt Duitse dörper besjrieve ietot heer 't Limbörgs taolgebeed oet is.

In Nederland hawwe v'r dèks 'n aander definitie aon vaan wat Limbörgs is. Gans in 't bezunder huurt Venlo, boe ze ik zègke meh wat wijers wel hiel Limbörgs klink, wel bij 't Limbörgs taolgebeed. De kins dus devaan oetgoon tot groete deile vaan gebeed nommer 1 op de kaart ouch e Limbörgs-echteg dialek höbbe.

Daan höbbe v'r wijer nog 't Ripuarisch, nommer 3 op de kaart. Dat zien gein Limbörgse dialekte; die höbbe 'nen eige Wikipedia (ksh:). Neve 't Kölsj en 't Öcher (plat vaan Aoke) hure dao ouch de dialekte vaan Kèrkraoj, Vaols, Lemiers en Sumpelveld bij. Dat zien dus eigelek gein Limbörgse dialekte, meh Nederlandse taolkundege rekene ze toch altied bij 't Limbörgs, umtot 't zoe gedeuns is. Dees dialekte zien ouch hei touwgelaote; gelieksoortege dialekte oet Duitsland evels neet (die kinne jummers op de Ripuarische Wikipedia terech). Steinbach (euverlègk) 12 okt 2014 01:16 (CEST)

Daanke veur dien lange oetlègk! Dus eigelek is 't e bitteke wat ste d'r zelf vaan maaks. Euverigens, in oos-Duitsland zien die linies volgens miech gans umgedrejt: Iech höb 'n tiedsje in Berlien gewoend en op ze plat Berliens zeet me toch ech ik mache (en aoch dat ipv das en is ipv ist). Vaan gesproke Kölsch verstaon iech geine meter, meh dat is mesjien erg subjectief. Daan bleijf netuurlek de praktische vraog: welke linie howwe v'r veur dit projekske aon? Allein de Duitse definitie vaan de Limbörgse toal (dus tot ongeveer Düsseldorf), of aoch 't Ripuarisch (dus tot ongeveer Bonn)? Tenth Plague (euverlègk) 12 okt 2014 01:31 (CEST)

Daag 10th Plague. Jao, wat dat betröf is 't Berlijns oongeveer de umgekierde situatie. In Berlijn woort vreuger ech Nederduits gesproke, meh wie dat 'n groete stad woort en lui vaan euveral denaotouw trokke, greujde 't Berlijns nao 't Hoegduits touw, um örges in 't midde oet te koume.

Wat betröf de grenze vaan 't Limbörgs zien v'r hei ummer tollerant gewees. Alle dialekte oet de bei Limbörge zien touwgelaote (zeker ouch umtot de sprekers vaan die täölkes hun plat zelf Limbörgs neume), zoewie alle dialekte daoboete die taolkundeg es Limbörgs gelle (dat stök in Duitsland, meh ouch Buul in Noord-Braobant en e paar dörpkes in Wallonië).

VisualEditor News #8—2014

Did you know?

TemplateData is a separate program that organizes information about the parameters that can be used in a template. VisualEditor reads that data, and uses it to populate its simplified template dialogs.

With the new TemplateData editor, it is easier to add information about parameters, because the ones you need to use are pre-loaded.

See the help page for TemplateData for more information about adding TemplateData. The user guide has information about how to use VisualEditor.

Since the last newsletter, the Editing team has reduced technical debt, simplified some workflows for template and citation editing, made major progress on Internet Explorer support, and fixed over 125 bugs and requests. Several performance improvements were made, especially to the system around re-using references and reference lists. Weekly updates are posted on Mediawiki.org.

There were three issues that required urgent fixes: a deployment error that meant that many buttons didn't work correctly (bugs 69856 and 69864), a problem with edit conflicts that left the editor with nowhere to go (bug 69150), and a problem in Internet Explorer 11 that replaced some categories with a link to the system message MediaWiki:Badtitletext (bug 70894) when you saved. The developers apologize for the disruption, and thank the people who reported these problems quickly.

Increased support for devices and browsers

Internet Explorer 10 and 11 users now have access to VisualEditor. This means that about 5% of Wikimedia's users will now get an "Edit" tab alongside the existing "Edit source" tab. Support for Internet Explorer 9 is planned for the future.

Tablet users browsing the site's mobile mode now have the option of using a mobile-specific form of VisualEditor. More editing tools, and availability of VisualEditor on smartphones, is planned for the future. The mobile version of VisualEditor was tweaked to show the context menu for citations instead of basic references (bug 68897). A bug that broke the editor in iOS was corrected and released early (bug 68949). For mobile tablet users, three bugs related to scrolling were fixed (bug 66697, bug 68828, bug 69630). You can use VisualEditor on the mobile version of Wikipedia from your tablet by clicking on the cog in the top-right when editing a page and choosing which editor to use.

TemplateData editor

The tool for editing TemplateData has been deployed to 30 more Wikipedias this week. Other Wikipedias and some other projects may receive access next month. This tool makes it easier to add TemplateData to the template's documentation. When the tool is enabled, it will add a button above every editing window for a template (including documentation subpages). To use it, edit the template page or a subpage, and then click the "Sjabloongegevens bewerken" button at the top. Read the help page for TemplateData. You can test the TemplateData editor in a sandbox at Mediawiki.org. Remember that TemplateData should be placed either on a documentation subpage or on the template page itself. Only one block of TemplateData will be used per template.

Other changes

Several interface messages and labels were changed to be simpler, clearer, or shorter, based on feedback from translators and editors. The formatting of dialogs was changed, and more changes to the appearance will be coming soon, when VisualEditor implements the new MediaWiki theme from Design. (A preview of the theme is available on Labs for developers.) The team also made some improvements for users of the Monobook skin that improved the size of text in toolbars and fixed selections that overlapped menus.

VisualEditor-MediaWiki now supplies the mw-redirect and mw-disambig class on links to redirects and disambiguation pages, so that user gadgets that colour in these types of links can be created.

Templates' fields can be marked as 'required' in TemplateData. If a parameter is marked as required, then you cannot delete that field when you add a new template or edit an existing one (bug 60358).

Language support improved by making annotations use bi-directional isolation (so they display correctly with cursoring behaviour as expected) and by fixing a bug that crashed VisualEditor when trying to edit a page with a dir attribute but no lang set (bug 69955).

Looking ahead

The team posts details about planned work on the VisualEditor roadmap. The VisualEditor team plans to add auto-fill features for citations soon, perhaps in late October.

The team is also working on support for adding rows and columns to tables, and early work for this may appear within the month. Please comment on the design at Mediawiki.org.

In the future, real-time collaborative editing may be possible in VisualEditor. Some early preparatory work for this was recently done.

Supporting your wiki

At Wikimania, several developers gave presentations about VisualEditor. A translation sprint focused on improving access to VisualEditor was supported by many people. Deryck Chan was the top translator. Special honors also go to संजीव कुमार (Sanjeev Kumar), Robby, Takot, Bachounda, Bjankuloski06 and Ата. A summary of the work achieved by the translation community is available. Thank you all for your work.

This was the first translatable VisualEditor newsletter, so thanks to everybody who made this possible! If it hasn't been delivered in your language, and you'd like to help with translations in the future, please subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact Elitre (WMF), so that you will be notified when the next issue is due.

VisualEditor can be made available to most non-Wikipedia projects. If your community would like to test VisualEditor, please contact product manager James Forrester or file an enhancement request in Bugzilla.

Please join the office hours on Saturday, 18 October 2014 at 18:00 UTC (daytime for the Americas; evening for Africa and Europe) and on Wednesday, 19 November at 16:00 UTC on IRC.

Meta RfCs on two new global groups

Hello all,

There are currently requests for comment open on meta to create two new global groups. The first is a group for members of the OTRS permissions queue, which would grant them autopatrolled rights on all wikis except those who opt-out. That proposal can be found at m:Requests for comment/Creation of a global OTRS-permissions user group. The second is a group for Wikimedia Commons admins and OTRS agents to view deleted file pages through the 'viewdeletedfile' right on all wikis except those who opt-out. The second proposal can be found at m:Requests for comment/Global file deletion review.

We would like to hear what you think on both proposals. Both are in English; if you wanted to translate them into your native language that would also be appreciated.

It is possible for individual projects to opt-out, so that users in those groups do not have any additional rights on those projects. To do this please start a local discussion, and if there is consensus you can request to opt-out of either or both at m:Stewards' noticeboard.

Thanks and regards, Ajraddatz (talk) 26 okt 2014 19:04 (CET)

Global AbuseFilter

Hello,

AbuseFilter is a MediaWiki extension used to detect likely abusive behavior patterns, like pattern vandalism and spam. In 2013, Global AbuseFilters were enabled on a limited set of wikis including Meta-Wiki, MediaWiki.org, Wikispecies and (in early 2014) all the "small wikis". Recently, global abuse filters were enabled on "medium sized wikis" as well. These filters are currently managed by stewards on Meta-Wiki and have shown to be very effective in preventing mass spam attacks across Wikimedia projects. However, there is currently no policy on how the global AbuseFilters will be managed although there are proposals. There is an ongoing request for comment on policy governing the use of the global AbuseFilters. In the meantime, specific wikis can opt out of using the global AbuseFilter. These wikis can simply add a request to this list on Meta-Wiki. More details can be found on this page at Meta-Wiki. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on m:Talk:Global AbuseFilter.

Thanks,

PiRSquared17, Glaisher

VisualEditor News #9—2014

Did you know?

VisualEditor is also available on the mobile version of Wikipedia. Log in and click the pencil icon to open the page you want to edit. Click on the gear-shaped settings button in the upper-right corner to pick which editor to use. Choose "⧼Mobile-frontend-editor-visual-editor⧽" to use VisualEditor, or "⧼Mobile-frontend-editor-source-editor⧽" to use the wikitext editor.

It will remember whether you used wikitext or VisualEditor, and use the same editor the next time you edit an article.

The user guide has information about how to use VisualEditor. Not all features are available on the mobile website.

Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has fixed many bugs and requests, and worked on support for editing tables and for using non-Latin languages. Their weekly updates are posted on Mediawiki.org. Informal notes from the recent quarterly review were posted on Meta.

Recent improvements

Basic support for inserting tables and changing the number of rows and columns in them was just introduced to Wikipedias. Advanced features, like dragging columns to different places, will be added later.

To help editors find the most important items more quickly, some items in the toolbar menus are now hidden behind a "Mieë" item, such as "Óngerliene" in the styling menu.

The French Wikipedia should see better search results for links, templates, and media because the new search engine was turned on for everyone there. This change is expected at the Chinese and German Wikipedias this week, and the following week at the English Wikipedia.

The "pawn" system has been mostly replaced. Bugs in this system sometimes added a chess pawn character to wikitext. The replacement provides better support for non-Latin languages, with full support hopefully coming soon.

VisualEditor is now provided to editors who use Internet Explorer 10 or 11 on desktop and mobile devices. Internet Explorer 9 is not supported yet.

The keyboard shortcuts for items in the toolbar menus are now shown in the menus.

VisualEditor will replace the existing design with a new theme from the User Experience/Design group. The appearance of dialog boxes has already changed in the mobile version. The appearance on desktops will change soon. You are welcome to compare the old "Apex" design and the new "MediaWiki" theme which will replace it.

Several bugs were fixed for internal and external links. Improvements to MediaWiki's search solved an annoying problem: If you searched for the full name of the page or file that you wanted to link, sometimes the search engine could not find the page. A link inside a template to a local page that does not exist will now show red, exactly as it does when reading the page. Due to an error, for about two weeks this also affected all external links inside templates. Opening an auto-numbered link node like [16] with the keyboard used to open the wrong link tool. These problems have all been fixed.

TemplateData

The tool for quickly editing TemplateData has been deployed to all Wikimedia Foundation wikis on Thursday, 6 November. This tool was already available on the biggest 40 Wikipedias, and now all wikis will have access to it. This tool makes it easier to add TemplateData to the template's documentation. When the tool is enabled, it will add a button above every editing window for a template (including documentation subpages). To use it, edit the template or a subpage, and then click the "Sjabloongegevens bewerken" button at the top. Read the help page for TemplateData to learn more about it. You can test the TemplateData editor in a sandbox at Mediawiki.org. Remember that TemplateData should be placed either on a documentation subpage or on the template page itself. Only one block of TemplateData will be used per template.

You can use the new autovalue setting to pre-load a value into a template. This can be used to substitute dates, as in this example, or to add the most common value for that parameter. The autovalue can be overridden by the editor, by typing something else in the field.

In TemplateData, you may define a parameter as "required". The template dialog box in VisualEditor will warn editors if they leave a "required" parameter empty, and they will not be able to delete that parameter. If the template can function without this parameter, then please mark it as "voorgesteld" or "optioneel" in TemplateData instead.

Looking ahead

The VisualEditor team plans to add auto-fill features for citations soon. The appearance of the media search dialog will improve, to make picking between possible images easier and more visual. The team posts details about planned work on the VisualEditor roadmap.

The user guide is being updated to add information about editing tables. The translations of the user guide for most languages except Spanish, French, and Dutch are significantly out of date. Please help complete the current translations for users who speak your language. Talk to us if you need help exporting the translated guide to your wiki.

You can influence VisualEditor's design! Tell the VisualEditor team what you want changed during the office hours via IRC. The next sessions are on Wednesday, 19 November at 16:00 UTC and on Wednesday 7 January 2015 at 22:00 UTC. You can also share your ideas at mw:VisualEditor/Feedback.

Also, user experience researcher Abbey Ripstra is looking for editors to show her how they edit Wikipedia. Please sign up for the research program if you would like to hear about opportunities.
