Review of initial updates on Wikimedia movement strategy process
[redigera]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.

We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)
[redigera]- This message, "We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)", was sent through multiple channels by Gregory Varnum on 15 and 16 of March 2017 to village pumps, affiliate talk pages, movement mailing lists, and MassMessage groups. A similar message was sent by Nicole Ebber to organized groups and their mailing lists on 15 of March 2017. This version of the message is available for translation and documentation purposes
Dear Wikimedians/Wikipedians:
Today we are starting a broad discussion to define Wikimedia's future role in the world and develop a collaborative strategy to fulfill that role. You are warmly invited to join the conversation.
There are many ways to participate, by joining an existing conversation or starting your own:
Track A (organized groups): Discussions with your affiliate, committee or other organized group (these are groups that support the Wikimedia movement).
Track B (individual contributors): On Meta or your local language or project wiki.
This is the first of three conversations, and it will run between now and April 15. The purpose of cycle 1 is to discuss the future of the movement and generate major themes around potential directions. What do we want to build or achieve together over the next 15 years?
We welcome you, as we create this conversation together, and look forward to broad and diverse participation from all parts of our movement.
- Find out more about the movement strategy process
- Learn more about volunteering to be a Discussion Coordinator
Sincerely,
Nicole Ebber (Track A Lead), Jaime Anstee (Track B Lead), & the engagement support teams18 mars 2017 kl. 06.10 (CET)

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-electionswikimedia.org.
On behalf of the Election Committee,
Katie Chan, Chair, Wikimedia Foundation Elections Committee

Wikimediastiftelsen kommer att testa sitt backupdatacenter i Dallas. Det är för att se till att Wikipedia och andra Wikimediawikier kan förbli nåbara även om någon form av katastrof skulle inträffa. För att försäkra att allt fungerar som det skall kommer den grupp som ansvarar för servrarna att genomföra ett planerat test när alla är förberedda och redo att omedelbart återställa allt till de vanliga servrarna om någonting går fel.
De kommer att lägga om all trafik till de nya servrarna på onsdag 19 april 2017. På onsdag 3 maj kommer de att styra om trafiken till det primära datacentret igen.
På grund av begränsningar i MediaWiki – den mjukvara Wikimediawikierna använder sig av – kan wikierna inte redigeras under tiden själva migrationen genomförs. Vi ber om ursäkt för detta, och arbetar för att minimera liknande problem i framtiden.
Samtliga Wikimediawikier kommer under en kortare tidsperiod vara möjliga att läsa men inte att redigera.
- Det kommer inte att gå att redigera i ungefär 20 till 30 minuter på onsdag 19 april och onsdag 3 maj. Testet kommer att börja 14:00 UTC, vilket innebär 16:00 svensk tid och 17:00 finländsk tid.
- Om du försöker spara en redigering under dessa tidpunkter kommer du att se ett felmeddelande. Vi hoppas att inga redigeringar kommer att gå förlorade under dessa minuter, men vi kan inte garantera det. Om du ser felmeddelandet, vänligen vänta tills allt fungerar som normalt igen. Sedan kommer du att kunna spara din redigering. Men vi rekommenderar att du kopierar dina ändringar först, för säkerhets skull.
Andra effekter:
- Vissa arbeten som körs i bakgrunden kommer att vara långsammare och några kan komma att sluta fungera. Röda länkar kan ta längre tid på sig för att uppdateras. Om du skapar en artikel som redan länkades någon annanstans kommer den länken att förbli röd längre tid än vanligt. Några långtidsskript kan behöva stoppas.
- Ingen ny kod kommer att tas i bruk under vecka 16 och vecka 18. Inga ej akuta uppdateringar kommer att göras.
Den här processen kan komma att skjutas upp om det skulle visa sig nödvändigt. Du kan läsa schemat på wikitech.wikimedia.org. Skulle några ändringar ske kommer de att meddelas där. Det kommer fler uppdateringar om det här. Sprid gärna den här informationen i din lokala wikigemenskap. /User:Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk)

Sedan det senaste nyhetsbrevet har VisualEditor-teamet ägnat större delen av sin tid åt stöd för det nya wikitextredigeringsläget 2017 vilket finns inom VisualEditor som betafunktion och lägger till visuella redigeringsversionsjämförelseverktyget. Deras arbete går att följa på Phabricator. Du kan hitta länkar till listor på arbete som slutförts varje vecka på mw:VisualEditor/Veckovisa triagemöten. Deras nuvarande prioriteringar är att fixa buggar, utveckla den nya wikitexteditorn från 2017 som betafunktion, och förbättra de visuella diffarna.
Senaste ändringar
[redigera]- Ett nytt wikitextredigeringsläge' finns som betafunktion för enheter som använder datorvyn. 2017 års wikitexteditor har samma verktygsfält som VisualEditor och kan använda Citoid och andra moderna verktyg. Gå till Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures för att slå på ⧼Visualeditor-preference-newwikitexteditor-label⧽.
- Ett nytt visuellt redigeringsverionsjämförelseverktyg finns i VisualEditors visuella läge. Du kan växla mellan wikitextdiffar och visuella diffar. Fler funktioner kommer att läggas till detta senare. I framtiden kan det här verktyget komma att integreras i flera MediaWiki-komponenter. [1]
- Teamet har lagt till flerkolumnstöd för fotnoter.
<references />
kan nu automatiskt visa långa källistor i kolumner på breda skärmar. Detta göra fotnoter enklare att läsa. Du kan begära att få flerkolumnsstöd för din wiki. [2] - Du kan nu använda din webbläsares funtkion för att växla åt vilket håll du skriver i det nya wikitextläget. Det är särskilt hjälpsamt för språk som skrivs från höger till vänster, som urdu eller hebreiska, när de måste skiva javascript eller CSS. Du kan använda Kommando+Shift+X eller Kontroll+Shift+X för detta. [3]
- Hur du växlar mellan wikitext och VisualEditor är nu konsekvent. Det finns en nedfällningsbar meny som visar de båda alternativen. Detta är samma i mobilvy och datorvy och i funktioner som bäddar in redigering, som Flow. [4]
- Kategorier-knappen har flyttats till toppen av Sidalternativ-menyn (från att klicka på "hamburgar"-ikonen) för snabbare och smidigare tillgänglighet. [5] Det finns nu också en "mallar som används på den här sidan"-funktion där. [6]
- Du kan nu skapa
<chem>
-taggar (ibland används<ce>
) för kemiska formler i VisualEditor. [7] - Tabeller kan ställas in som minimerade eller ej. [8]
- Specialtecken-menyn innehåller nu tecken för att skriva kanadensiska ursprungsspråk samt vinkelcitationstecken. Teamet vill tacka till Tpt för detta. [9]
- En bugg gjorde att en del avsnittsredigeringskonflikter ledde till att resten av sidan togs bort. Detta har fixats. Teamet ber om ursäkt. [10]
- Det finns ett nytt kortkommando för att citera källor:
Kontroll
+Shift
+K
på PC ellerKommando
+Shift
+K
på mac. Detta är baserat på kortkommandot för att göra länkar, vilket ärKontroll
+K
respektiveKommando
+K
. [11]
Framtida ändringar
[redigera]- Teamet arbetar på ett verktyg för att göra det enklare att skilja på brödtext och wikikod. Det kommer att göra det enklare att se matchande
<ref>
-taggspar och andra delar av wikikoden. Du kommer att kunna slå på och av det. Det kommer först att komma i VisualEditors inbyggda wikitextläge, kanske sent 2017. [12] - Den typ av knapp som används för Visa förhandsgranskning, Visa ändringar och för att spara en redigering kommer att ändras i alla Wikimedia Foundation-stödda wikitextredigerare. De nya knapparna kommer att använda OOjs-utseendet. Knapparna kommer att vara större, ljusare och enklare att läsa. Deras namn kommer att förbli vad de är. Du kan testa de nya knapparna genom att redigera en sida och lägga till
&ooui=1
i slutet av webbadressen, som här https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Sandbox?action=edit&ooui=1 Det gamla utseendet kommer inte att kunna bevaras, ens med lokala CSS-ändringar. [13] - Det gamla wikitextredigeringsläget från 2006 kommer att tas bort senare i år. Det används av uppskattningsvis 0,03 % av våra aktiva användare. Se listan över redigeringsverktyg på mediawiki.org om du är osäker på vilken du använder. [14]

The Wikimedia movement strategy core team and working groups have completed reviewing the more than 1800 thematic statements we received from the first discussion. They have identified 5 themes that were consistent across all the conversations - each with their own set of sub-themes. These are not the final themes, just an initial working draft of the core concepts.
You are invited to join the online and offline discussions taking place on these 5 themes. This round of discussions will take place between now and June 12th. You can discuss as many as you like; we ask you to participate in the ones that are most (or least) important to you.
Here are the five themes, each has a page on Meta-Wiki with more information about the theme and how to participate in that theme's discussion:
- Healthy, Inclusive Communities
- The Augmented Age
- A Truly Global Movement
- The Most Respected Source of Knowledge
- Engaging in the Knowledge Ecosystem
On the movement strategy portal on Meta-Wiki, you can find more information about each of these themes, their discussions, and how to participate.

New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers
[redigera]New print to pdf feature for mobile web readers
The Readers web team will be deploying a new feature this week to make it easier to download PDF versions of articles on the mobile website.
Providing better offline functionality was one of the highlighted areas from the research done by the New Readers team in Mexico, Nigeria, and India. The teams created a prototype for mobile PDFs which was evaluated by user research and community feedback. The prototype evaluation received positive feedback and results, so development continued.
For the initial deployment, the feature will be available to Google Chrome browsers on Android. Support for other mobile browsers to come in the future. For Chrome, the feature will use the native Android print functionality. Users can choose to download a webpage as a PDF. Mobile print styles will be used for these PDFs to ensure optimal readability for smaller screens.
The feature is available starting Wednesday, Nov 15. For more information, see the project page on MediaWiki.org.
Tack!

Sedan det senaste nyhetsbrevet har redigerings-teamet lagt ned det mesta av sin tid på att supporta 2017 års nya wikikod-editor, som finns tillgänglig som beta-version i VisualEditor. De har också arbetat med att förbättra det visuella diff-verktyget. Their work board is available in Phabricator. Du hittar länkar till föregående veckas slutförda arbetsuppgifter på mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor, and improving the visual diff tool.
Senaste ändringar
[redigera]- The 2017 wikitext editor is available as a Beta Feature on desktop devices. It has the same toolbar as the visual editor and can use the citoid service and other modern tools. Utvecklarna har jämfört prestandan i olika redigeringsverktyg. De har studerat hur länge det tar att öppna en sida och börja skriva. Studien omfattar data från mer än en million redigeringar under december och januari. En del ändringar har genomförts för att förbättra hastigheten i 2017 års wikikod-editor och VisualEditor. Recently, the 2017 wikitext editor opened fastest for most edits, and the 2010 WikiEditor was fastest for some edits. Du kan se mer information på mw:Contributors/Projects/Editing performance.
- The visual diff tool was developed for the visual editor. It is now available to all users of the visual editor and the 2017 wikitext editor. When you review your changes, you can toggle between wikitext and visual diffs. You can also enable the new Beta Feature for "Visual diffs". The Beta Feature lets you use the visual diff tool to view other people's edits on page histories and Special:RecentChanges. [15]
- Wikitext syntax highlighting is available as a Beta Feature for both the 2017 wikitext editor and the 2010 wikitext editor. [16]
- Citoid-verktyget konvertrar automatiskt URL-adresser, DOI- och ISBN-nummer samt PubMed id-nummer till källhänvisningar i wikikod. Det är ett mycket populärt och användbart verktyg, men kan vara svårt att konfigurera. Din wiki kan få access till verktyget, vänligen läs vägledningen om hur du går tillväga. Du kan be utvecklar-teamet om hjälp med att aktivera verktyget på din wiki.
Låt oss samarbeta
[redigera]- The team will talk about editing tools at an upcoming Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meeting.
- Wikibooks, Wikiversity och andra wikier i gemenskapen kan få tillgång till VisualEditor som förvald standard. Vänligen kontakta Dan Garry ifall din wiki önskar använda VisualEditor som förvalt redgeringssätt.
- The
<references />
block can automatically display long lists of references in columns on wide screens. This makes footnotes easier to read. You can request multi-column support for your wiki.

Update on page issues on mobile web
[redigera]Update on page issues on mobile web
Hjälp till att översätta till ditt språk Hi everyone. The Readers web team has recently begun working on exposing issue templates on the mobile website. Currently, details about issues with page content are generally hidden on the mobile website. This leaves readers unaware of the reliability of the pages they are reading. The goal of this project is to improve awareness of particular issues within an article on the mobile web. We will do this by changing the visual styling of page issues.
So far, we have drafted a proposal on the design and implementation of the project. We were also able to run user testing on the proposed designs. The tests so far have positive results. Here is a quick summary of what we learned:
- The new treatment increases awareness of page issues among participants. This is true particularly when they are in a more evaluative/critical mode.
- Page issues make sense to readers and they understand how they work
- Readers care about page issues and consider them important
- Readers had overwhelmingly positive sentiments towards Wikipedia associated with learning about page issues
Our next step would be to start implementing these changes. We wanted to reach out to you for any concerns, thoughts, and suggestions you might have before beginning development. Please visit the project page where we have more information and mockups of how this may look. Please leave feedback on the talk page.

New user group for editing sitewide CSS / JS
[redigera](Hjälp till att översätta till ditt språk)
Hi all!
To improve the security of our readers and editors, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed. (These are pages like MediaWiki:Common.css
and MediaWiki:Vector.js
which contain code that is executed in the browsers of users of the site.)
A new user group, interface-admin
, has been created.
Starting four weeks from now, only members of this group will be able edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with .css
or .js
that is either in the MediaWiki:
namespace or is another user's user subpage).
You can learn more about the motivation behind the change here.
Please add users who need to edit CSS/JS to the new group (this can be done the same way new administrators are added, by stewards or local bureaucrats). This is a dangerous permission; a malicious user or a hacker taking over the account of a careless interface-admin can abuse it in far worse ways than admin permissions could be abused. Please only assign it to users who need it, who are trusted by the community, and who follow common basic password and computer security practices (use strong passwords, do not reuse passwords, use two-factor authentication if possible, do not install software of questionable origin on your machine, use antivirus software if that's a standard thing in your environment).
Thanks!

Editing of sitewide CSS/JS is only possible for interface administrators from now
[redigera](Hjälp till att översätta till ditt språk)
Hi all,
as announced previously, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed: only members of the interface-admin
(Gränssnittsadministratörer) group, and a few highly privileged global groups such as stewards, can edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with .css or .js that is either in the MediaWiki: namespace or is another user's user subpage). This is done to improve the security of readers and editors of Wikimedia projects. More information is available at Creation of separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS. If you encounter any unexpected problems, please contact me or file a bug.
Thanks!

För att försäkra att allt fungerar som det skall kommer den grupp som ansvarar för servrarna att genomföra ett planerat test när alla är förberedda och redo att omedelbart återställa allt till de vanliga servrarna om någonting går fel.
De kommer att lägga om all trafik till de nya servrarna på onsdag 12 september 2018. På onsdag 10 oktober 2018 kommer de att styra om trafiken till det primära datacentret igen.
På grund av begränsningar i MediaWiki – den mjukvara Wikimediawikierna använder sig av – kan wikierna inte redigeras under tiden själva migrationen genomförs. Vi ber om ursäkt för detta, och arbetar för att minimera liknande problem i framtiden.
Samtliga Wikimediawikier kommer under en kortare tidsperiod vara möjliga att läsa men inte att redigera.
- Det kommer inte att gå att redigera i ungefär 20 till 30 minuter på onsdag 12 september och onsdag 10 oktober. Testet kommer att börja 14:00 UTC, vilket innebär 16:00 svensk tid och 17:00 finländsk tid.
- Om du försöker spara en redigering under dessa tidpunkter kommer du att se ett felmeddelande. Vi hoppas att inga redigeringar kommer att gå förlorade under dessa minuter, men vi kan inte garantera det. Om du ser felmeddelandet, vänligen vänta tills allt fungerar som normalt igen. Sedan kommer du att kunna spara din redigering. Men vi rekommenderar att du kopierar dina ändringar först, för säkerhets skull.
Andra effekter:
- Vissa arbeten som körs i bakgrunden kommer att vara långsammare och några kan komma att sluta fungera. Röda länkar kan ta längre tid på sig för att uppdateras. Om du skapar en artikel som redan länkades någon annanstans kommer den länken att förbli röd längre tid än vanligt. Några långtidsskript kan behöva stoppas.
- De aktuella veckorna kommer ingen ny kod att tas i bruk. Inga ej akuta uppdateringar kommer att göras.
Den här processen kan komma att skjutas upp om det skulle visa sig nödvändigt. Du kan läsa schemat på wikitech.wikimedia.org. Skulle några ändringar ske kommer de att meddelas där. Det kommer fler uppdateringar om det här. Sprid gärna den här informationen i din lokala wikigemenskap. /User:Johan(WMF) (talk)

Editing News #2—2018
[redigera]Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Did you know?
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has wrapped up most of their work on the 2017 wikitext editor and the visual diff tool. The team has begun investigating the needs of editors who use mobile devices. Their work board is available in Phabricator. Their current priorities are fixing bugs and improving mobile editing.
Recent changes
[redigera]- The Editing team has published an initial report about mobile editing.
- The Editing team has begun a design study of visual editing on the mobile website. New editors have trouble doing basic tasks on a smartphone, such as adding links to Wikipedia articles. You can read the report.
- The Reading team is working on a separate mobile-based contributions project.
- The 2006 wikitext editor is no longer supported. If you used that toolbar, then you will no longer see any toolbar. You may choose another editing tool in your editing preferences, local gadgets, or beta features.
- The Editing team described the history and status of VisualEditor in this recorded public presentation (starting at 29 minutes, 30 seconds).
- The Language team released a new version of Content Translation (CX2) last month, on International Translation Day. It integrates the visual editor to support templates, tables, and images. It also produces better wikitext when the translated article is published. [18]
Let's work together
[redigera]- The Editing team wants to improve visual editing on the mobile website. Please read their ideas and tell the team what you think would help editors who use the mobile site.
- The Community Wishlist Survey begins next week.
- If you aren't reading this in your preferred language, then please help us with translations! Subscribe to the Translators mailing list or contact us directly. We will notify you when the next issue is ready for translation. Tack!

[redigera]Change coming to how certain templates will appear on the mobile web
Hjälp till att översätta till ditt språk
Hello,
In a few weeks the Readers web team will be changing how some templates look on the mobile web site. We will make these templates more noticeable when viewing the article. We ask for your help in updating any templates that don't look correct.
What kind of templates? Specifically templates that notify readers and contributors about issues with the content of an article – the text and information in the article. Examples like Template:Unreferenced or Template:More citations needed. Right now these notifications are hidden behind a link under the title of an article. We will format templates like these (mostly those that use Template:Ambox or message box templates in general) to show a short summary under the page title. You can tap on the "Learn more" link to get more information.
For template editors we have some recommendations on how to make templates that are mobile-friendly and also further documentation on our work so far.
If you have questions about formatting templates for mobile, please leave a note on the project talk page or file a task in Phabricator and we will help you.
Tack!

FileExporter beta feature
[redigera]En nya betafunktionen kommer snart att släppas på alla wikier: FileExporter. Det är ett verktyg som tillåter export av lokala filer på din wiki till Commons, inklusiv fil- och sidhistorik. Vilka filer som kan flyttas definieras av varje wikigemenskap: vill ni använda funktionen, kolla konfigurationsfilen.
FileExporter har redan varit en betafunktion på MediaWiki.org, Wikisource samt tyska-, farsi-, arabisk- och koreanskspråkiga Wikipedia. Efter att viss funktionalitet lagts till kommer den nu som betafunktion till alla wikier. Den beräknas släppas 16 januari. Läs mer på projektsidan.
Som alltid är återkoppling mycket uppskattad. Om du vill testa FileExporter, aktivera den i dina inställningar. Bästa stället för återkoppling är den centrala diskussionssidan. Tack från Wikimedia Tysklands tekniska önskningar-projekt.

Talk to us about talking
[redigera]The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.
We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.
We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.
We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.
You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:
- First, sign up your group here.
- Next, create a page (or a section on a Village pump, or an e-mail thread – whatever is natural for your group) to collect information from other people in your group. This is not a vote or decision-making discussion: we are just collecting feedback.
- Then ask people what they think about communication processes. We want to hear stories and other information about how people communicate with each other on and off wiki. Please consider asking these five questions:
- When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you?
- What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them?
- What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages?
- What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations?
- What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"?
- Finally, please go to Talk pages consultation 2019 on Mediawiki.org and report what you learned from your group. Please include links if the discussion is available to the public.
You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.
Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.
You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.
Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

Editing News #1—July 2019
[redigera]Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
Did you know?
Welcome back to the Editing newsletter.
Since the last newsletter, the team has released two new features for the mobile visual editor and has started developing three more. All of this work is part of the team's goal to make editing on mobile web simpler.
Before talking about the team's recent releases, we have a question for you:
Are you willing to try a new way to add and change links?
If you are interested, we would value your input! You can try this new link tool in the mobile visual editor on a separate wiki.
Follow these instructions and share your experience:
Recent releases
[redigera]The mobile visual editor is a simpler editing tool, for smartphones and tablets using the mobile site. The Editing team recently launched two new features to improve the mobile visual editor:
- Section editing
- The purpose is to help contributors focus on their edits.
- The team studied this with an A/B test. This test showed that contributors who could use section editing were 1% more likely to publish the edits they started than people with only full-page editing.
- Loading overlay
- The purpose is to smooth the transition between reading and editing.
Section editing and the new loading overlay are now available to everyone using the mobile visual editor.
New and active projects
[redigera]This is a list of our most active projects. Watch these pages to learn about project updates and to share your input on new designs, prototypes and research findings.
- Edit cards: This is a clearer way to add and edit links, citations, images, templates, etc. in articles. You can try this feature now. Go here to see how: 📲 Try Edit Cards.
- Mobile toolbar refresh: This project will learn if contributors are more successful when the editing tools are easier to recognize.
- Mobile visual editor availability: This A/B test asks: Are newer contributors more successful if they use the mobile visual editor? We are collaborating with 20 Wikipedias to answer this question.
- Usability improvements: This project will make the mobile visual editor easier to use. The goal is to let contributors stay focused on editing and to feel more confident in the editing tools.
Looking ahead
[redigera]- Wikimania: Several members of the Editing Team will be attending Wikimania in August 2019. They will lead a session about mobile editing in the Community Growth space. Talk to the team about how editing can be improved.
- Talk Pages: In the coming months, the Editing Team will begin improving talk pages and communication on the wikis.
Learning more
[redigera]The VisualEditor on mobile is a good place to learn more about the projects we are working on. The team wants to talk with you about anything related to editing. If you have something to say or ask, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.

Update on the consultation about office actions
[redigera]Hello all,
Last month, the Wikimedia Foundation's Trust & Safety team announced a future consultation about partial and/or temporary office actions. We want to let you know that the draft version of this consultation has now been posted on Meta.
This is a draft. It is not intended to be the consultation itself, which will be posted on Meta likely in early September. Please do not treat this draft as a consultation. Instead, we ask your assistance in forming the final language for the consultation.
For that end, we would like your input over the next couple of weeks about what questions the consultation should ask about partial and temporary Foundation office action bans and how it should be formatted. Please post it on the draft talk page. Our goal is to provide space for the community to discuss all the aspects of these office actions that need to be discussed, and we want to ensure with your feedback that the consultation is presented in the best way to encourage frank and constructive conversation.
Please visit the consultation draft on Meta-wiki and leave your comments on the draft’s talk page about what the consultation should look like and what questions it should ask.
Thank you for your input! -- The Trust & Safety team 16 augusti 2019 kl. 10.03 (CEST)
New tools and IP masking
[redigera]Hey everyone,
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to work on two things that affect how we patrol changes and handle vandalism and harassment. We want to make the tools that are used to handle bad edits better. We also want to get better privacy for unregistered users so their IP addresses are no longer shown to everyone in the world. We would not hide IP addresses until we have better tools for patrolling.
We have an idea of what tools could be working better and how a more limited access to IP addresses would change things, but we need to hear from more wikis. You can read more about the project on Meta and post comments and feedback. Now is when we need to hear from you to be able to give you better tools to handle vandalism, spam and harassment.
You can post in your language if you can't write in English.
Johan (WMF)21 augusti 2019 kl. 16.18 (CEST)
The consultation on partial and temporary Foundation bans just started
[redigera]Hello,
In a recent statement, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees requested that staff hold a consultation to "re-evaluat[e] or add community input to the two new office action policy tools (temporary and partial Foundation bans)".
Accordingly, the Foundation's Trust & Safety team invites all Wikimedians to join this consultation and give their feedback from 30 September to 30 October.
How can you help?
- Suggest how partial and temporary Foundation bans should be used, if they should (eg: On all projects, or only on a subset);
- Give ideas about how partial and temporary Foundation bans should ideally implemented, if they should be; and/or
- Propose changes to the existing Office Actions policy on partial and temporary bans.
We offer our thanks in advance for your contributions, and we hope to get as much input as possible from community members during this consultation!

Feedback wanted on Desktop Improvements project
[redigera]Hjälp till att översätta till ditt språk
Hej. The Readers Web team at the WMF will work on some improvements to the desktop interface over the next couple of years. The goal is to increase usability without removing any functionality. We have been inspired by changes made by volunteers, but that currently only exist as local gadgets and user scripts, prototypes, and volunteer-led skins. We would like to begin the process of bringing some of these changes into the default experience on all Wikimedia projects.
We are currently in the research stage of this project and are looking for ideas for improvements, as well as feedback on our current ideas and mockups. So far, we have performed interviews with community members at Wikimania. We have gathered lists of previous volunteer and WMF work in this area. We are examining possible technical approaches for such changes.
We would like individual feedback on the following:
- Identifying focus areas for the project we have not yet discovered
- Expanding the list of existing gadgets and user scripts that are related to providing a better desktop experience. If you can think of some of these from your wiki, please let us know
- Feedback on the ideas and mockups we have collected so far
We would also like to gather a list of wikis that would be interested in being test wikis for this project - these wikis would be the first to receive the updates once we’re ready to start building.
When giving feedback, please consider the following goals of the project:
- Make it easier for readers to focus on the content
- Provide easier access to everyday actions (e.g. search, language switching, editing)
- Put things in logical and useful places
- Increase consistency in the interface with other platforms - mobile web and the apps
- Eliminate clutter
- Plan for future growth
As well as the following constraints:
- Not touching the content - no work will be done in terms of styling templates or to the structure of page contents themselves
- Not removing any functionality - things might move around, but all navigational items and other functionality currently available by default will remain
- No drastic changes to the layout - we're taking an evolutionary approach to the changes and want the site to continue feeling familiar to readers and editors
Please give all feedback (in any language) at mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements
After this round of feedback, we plan on building a prototype of suggested changes based on the feedback we receive. You’ll hear from us again asking for feedback on this prototype.
Tack! Quiddity (WMF) (talk)

Berätta hur du har använt en diskussionssida. Dela en länk till en minnesvärd diskussion eller sammanfatta den på det här projektets diskussionssida. Teamet vill gärna ha dina exempel. Dessa kommer att hjälpa oss att skapa en gemensam förståelse för vad det här projektet borde stödja och uppmuntra.
Diskussionssideprojektet
[redigera]The Talk Pages Consultation was a global consultation to define better tools for wiki communication. From February through June 2019, more than 500 volunteers on 20 wikis, across 15 languages and multiple projects, came together with members of the Foundation to create a product direction for a set of discussion tools. The Phase 2 Report of the Talk Page Consultation was published in August. It summarizes the product direction the team has started to work on, which you can read more about here: Talk Page Project project page.
The team needs and wants your help at this early stage. They are starting to develop the first idea. Please add your name to the "Getting involved" section of the project page, if you would like to hear about opportunities to participate.
Den visuella redigeraren för mobila enheter
[redigera]The Editing team is trying to make it simpler to edit on mobile devices. The team is changing the visual editor on mobile. If you have something to say about editing on a mobile device, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.
- On 3 September, the Editing team released version 3 of Edit Cards. Anyone could use the new version in the mobile visual editor.
- There is an updated design on the Edit Card for adding and modifying links. There is also a new, combined workflow for editing a link's display text and target.
- Feedback: You can try the new Edit Cards by opening the mobile visual editor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Edit cards talk page.
- In September, the Editing team updated the mobile visual editor's editing toolbar. Anyone could see these changes in the mobile visual editor.
- One toolbar: All of the editing tools are located in one toolbar. Previously, the toolbar changed when you clicked on different things.
- New navigation: The buttons for moving forward and backward in the edit flow have changed.
- Seamless switching: an improved workflow for switching between the visual and wikitext modes.
- Feedback: You can try the refreshed toolbar by opening the mobile VisualEditor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Toolbar feedback talk page.
Wikimania
[redigera]Redigerarteamet besökte Wikimania 2019 i Sverige. They led a session on the mobile visual editor and a session on the new talk pages project. They tested two new features in the mobile visual editor with contributors. You can read more about what the team did and learned in the team's report on Wikimania 2019.
Looking ahead
[redigera]- Talk Pages Project: The team is thinking about the first set of proposed changes. The team will be working with a few communities to pilot those changes. The best way to stay informed is by adding your username to the list on the project page: Getting involved.
- Testing the mobile visual editor as the default: The Editing team plans to post results before the end of the calendar year. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: VisualEditor as mobile default project page.
- Measuring the impact of Edit Cards: This study asks whether the project helped editors add links and citations. The Editing team hopes to share results in November. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: Edit Cards project page.
