Movement Charter Drafting Committee - Community Elections to take place October 11 - 24

This is a short message with an update from the Movement Charter process. The call for candidates for the Drafting Committee closed September 14, and we got a diverse range of candidates. The committee will consist of 15 members, and those will be (s)elected via three different ways.

The 15 member committee will be selected with a 3-step process:

  • Election process for project communities to elect 7 members of the committee.
  • Selection process for affiliates to select 6 members of the committee.
  • Wikimedia Foundation process to appoint 2 members of the committee.

The community elections will take place between October 11 and October 24. The other process will take place in parallel, so that all processes will be concluded by November 1.

For the full context of the Movement Charter, its role, as well the process for its creation, please have a look at Meta. You can also contact us at any time on Telegram or via email (wikimedia2030@wikimedia.org). --Mervat (WMF) (arutelu) 22. september 2021, kell 13:57 (EEST)

Upcoming Call for Feedback about the Board of Trustees elections

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

The Board of Trustees is preparing a call for feedback about the upcoming Board Elections, from January 7 - February 10, 2022.

While details will be finalized the week before the call, we have confirmed at least two questions that will be asked during this call for feedback:

  • What is the best way to ensure fair representation of emerging communities among the Board?
  • What involvement should candidates have during the election?

While additional questions may be added, the Movement Strategy and Governance team wants to provide time for community members and affiliates to consider and prepare ideas on the confirmed questions before the call opens. We apologize for not having a complete list of questions at this time. The list of questions should only grow by one or two questions. The intention is to not overwhelm the community with requests, but provide notice and welcome feedback on these important questions.

Do you want to help organize local conversation during this Call?

Contact the Movement Strategy and Governance team on Meta, on Telegram, or via email at msg(_AT_)wikimedia.org.

Reach out if you have any questions or concerns. The Movement Strategy and Governance team will be minimally staffed until January 3. Please excuse any delayed response during this time. We also recognize some community members and affiliates are offline during the December holidays. We apologize if our message has reached you while you are on holiday.

Best,

Movement Strategy and Governance

InternetArchiveBot

I would like to propose operating InternetArchiveBot on Estonian Wikipedia. The bot finds dead links on articles, adds links to archived versions where available, and it also adds links to books where it is appropriate. It is currently approved to do this for over 50 Wikimedia wikis. The bot can be configured and translated through the web interface. Please let me know of your thoughts. Harej (arutelu) 2. veebruar 2021, kell 22:25 (EET)

Harej, could the bot do some test edits in here so that we could see how is it performing? Ivo (arutelu) 23. aprill 2021, kell 00:16 (EEST)
Kruusamägi, I will run the bot for around 50 edits. Harej (arutelu) 23. aprill 2021, kell 00:41 (EEST)
[1] -- "archive-date" should not be yyyy-mm-dd, but dd-mm-yyyy (or even better: dd. monthname yyyy) Ivo (arutelu) 23. aprill 2021, kell 01:08 (EEST)
I'm not sure, that it should add archive links under the "External links" (Välislingid) section (example). Some of the pages there might have moved and it might be more reasonable to replace them with current links or remove them (but this broken link thing is pretty handy). Ivo (arutelu) 23. aprill 2021, kell 01:23 (EEST)
Ma arvan, et arhiivilinke peaks robot lisama ainult viidetesse. Häälestuslehel on esimene valik vist selle kohta ("Only links within references"). Peaks üle vaatama ka teised sätted (milliseid viitemalle robot kasutab ja lisab või kas lisab). Pikne 24. aprill 2021, kell 15:37 (EEST)
Inglise vikis olen ma täheldanud, et bot (minu meelest seesama) on võtnud mõnikord Internet Archive'i lingi maha, kui tema arust on algne leht üleval. See ei oleks väga halb, kui ta ei peaks toimivateks lehtedeks ka ebastandardseid veateateid, asendades toimiva lingi katkisega. Nii et kui võimalik, oleks seda funktsiooni ehk mõistlik vältida. --Ehitaja (arutelu) 9. mai 2021, kell 23:09 (EEST)
Muidu oleks vast hea selle botiga edasi minna? Kas kellelegi jääb silma veel mingeid probleemseid kohti? (peale selle, et bot ei tohiks välislinke mudida) Ivo (arutelu) 18. mai 2021, kell 01:42 (EEST)
Harej, should we move on with operating InternetArchiveBot on Estonian Wikipedia? There have been some ideas for small changes. Ivo (arutelu) 4. august 2021, kell 20:41 (EEST)
Ivo, if you believe there is community consensus I am happy to activate the bot. What changes in particular should be made before reactivating the bot? Harej (arutelu) 5. august 2021, kell 02:01 (EEST)

Harej, community seems to be fine with it. Two main things have gone up:

  • links under the "External links" (Välislingid) should remain untouched... at least for now (i.e only dealing with references);
  • "archive-date" should not be yyyy-mm-dd, but dd-mm-yyyy (or even better: dd. monthname yyyy)

With that maybe 200 more edits, and then we could review it before giving a final go? Ivo (arutelu) 5. august 2021, kell 03:22 (EEST)

And there is also a question if the bot might remove Internet Archive links if it (sometimes maybe wrongly) thinks that the original site is up. Ivo (arutelu) 5. august 2021, kell 03:25 (EEST)
Ivo, the requested configuration changes have been made. Also, the bot will not remove archive links under any circumstances. I have re-enabled the bot for testing and so far I think things are looking good. Let me know what you think. Harej (arutelu) 13. august 2021, kell 01:59 (EEST)
The bot has finished making its 200 test edits. Harej (arutelu) 13. august 2021, kell 08:58 (EEST)

Seni pole midagi problemaatilist ette tulnud. - Melilac (arutelu) 13. august 2021, kell 16:56 (EEST)

I translated the edit summary like this: "Osa allikalinke varustatud arhiivilingiga ({linksrescued}) või märgitud mittetöötavaks ({linkstagged})." Does it have plural support? Currently I tried to work around it by putting numbers in brackets.

I also notice the following: 1) date numbers shouldn't be zero-padded, e.g. see warning messages here, 2) if plain link is converted to template then preferably it should use Estonian-language template {{Netiviide}}. Pikne 13. august 2021, kell 19:19 (EEST)

Current wording in {{Cite web}} also expects that month name is declined in access date, but not in archive date. So to work around this I now changed date format to dd.mm.yyyy. This way zero-padded day number is less odd, but it would be still nice if zero could be omitted. Pikne 13. august 2021, kell 19:35 (EEST)
Or does the bot touch only archive dates? If so then preferably it should still use no zero-padding and full month name. Pikne 13. august 2021, kell 19:42 (EEST)
Harej, any comments? Ivo (arutelu) 21. august 2021, kell 19:01 (EEST)
Ivo, we have implemented the requested change and will do another test run of 200. Harej (arutelu) 11. oktoober 2021, kell 19:30 (EEST)
The test edits are complete. Please let me know what you think. Harej (arutelu) 11. oktoober 2021, kell 22:30 (EEST)
Pikne, kuidas sulle paistab? Mulle põgusal vaatlusel probleeme silma ei jäänud. Ivo (arutelu) 12. oktoober 2021, kell 01:08 (EEST)
Harej, there's some sort of encoding error in Special:Diff/5975295 (� in palce of ä).
I understand that zero-padded date numbers were changed. This looks fine now. Thank you.
I now notice that this date formatting is used for both access-date and archive-date, while these parameters need different grammatical case in month name, e.g. "märts" and "märtsil" respectively. I suppose then we still have to use %-e.%m.%Y formatting to work around this.
Above I also wondered if plain link to template conversion could use localized template {{netiviide}} instead of {{cite web}}. If it cannot, then I would rather drop this conversion in configuration. Pikne 12. oktoober 2021, kell 20:01 (EEST)
Pikne, unfortunately due to technical limitations, InternetArchiveBot can't post dates in multiple grammatical cases. However, I was able to change the preferred template to {{Netiviide}}. Harej (arutelu) 13. oktoober 2021, kell 00:16 (EEST)
Harej, where can I check the parameter mapping for local {{Netiviide}}? It's not present in configuration interface, as far as I can see. Or, could you do some more test edits to show how it works? As for date format, I changed it to %-e.%m.%Y then for now. Pikne 31. oktoober 2021, kell 20:09 (EET)
Pikne, We apologize for the late response. Configuring citation templates is a separate page entirely. Normally, it's reserved for IABot tool roots. Since you are an interface-admin, I have granted you access to the configuration page. You can access the config by going to https://iabot.toolforge.org/index.php?page=systemconfig&systempage=citetemplates&wiki=etwiki. You can read the manual on how to operate the configurator at :m:InternetArchiveBot/Documentation/Configuring citation maps. Cyberpower678 (arutelu) 2. veebruar 2022, kell 21:43 (EET)
I've adjusted the parameter mapping. Now I notice that plain link to template conversion uses default title "arhiivikoopia" (e.g. here), whereas in "Netviide" template, unlike in "Cite web", URLs aren't swapped and this "archive copy" title doesn't get associated to archive URL. I think we should work on our templates a little before we move on with this. I'll consult with user Kaniivel on this. Pikne 3. veebruar 2022, kell 18:43 (EET)

Updates on the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines Review

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

Hello everyone,

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees released a statement on the ratification process for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement Guidelines.

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire movement. The UCoC and the Enforcement Guidelines were written by volunteer-staff drafting committees following community consultations.

The revised guidelines were published 24 January 2022 as a proposed way to apply the policy across the movement. There is a list of changes made to the guidelines after the enforcement draft guidelines review. Comments about the guidelines can be shared on the Enforcement Guidelines talk page on Meta-wiki.

To help to understand the guidelines and process, the Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team will be hosting Conversation Hours on 4 February 2022 at 15:00 UTC, 25 February 2022 at 12:00 UTC, and 4 March 2022 at 15:00 UTC. Join the conversation hours to speak with the UCoC project team and drafting committee members about the updated guidelines and voting process.

The timeline is available on Meta-wiki. The voting period is March 7 to 21. All eligible voters will have an opportunity to support or oppose the adoption of the Enforcement guidelines, and share why. See the voting information page for more details.

Many participants from across the movement have provided valuable input in these ongoing conversations. The UCoC and MSG teams want to thank the Drafting Committee and the community members for their contributions to this process.

Sincerely,

Movement Strategy and Governance

Invitation to Hubs event: Global Conversation on 2022-03-12 at 13:00 UTC

Hello!

The Movement Strategy and Governance team of the Wikimedia Foundation would like to invite you to the next event about "Regional and Thematic Hubs". The Wikimedia Movement is in the process of understanding what Regional and Thematic Hubs should be. Our workshop in November was a good start (read the report), but we're not finished yet.

Over the last weeks we conducted about 16 interviews with groups working on establishing a Hub in their context (see Hubs Dialogue). These interviews informed a report that will serve as a foundation for discussion on March 12. The report is planned to be published on March 9.

The event will take place on March 12, 13:00 to 16:00 UTC on Zoom. Interpretation will be provided in French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, and Portuguese. Registration is open, and will close on March 10. Anyone interested in the topic is invited to join us. More information on the event on Meta-wiki.

Revisions to the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement Guidelines

Hello all,

We'd like to provide an update on the work on the Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct. After the conclusion of the community vote on the guidelines in March, the Community Affairs committee (CAC) of the Board asked that several areas of the guidelines be reviewed for improvements before the Board does its final review. These areas were identified based on community discussions and comments provided during the vote. The CAC also requested review of the controversial Note in 3.1 of the UCoC itself.

Once more, a big thank you to all who voted, especially to all who left constructive feedback and comments! The project team is working with the Board to establish a timeline for this work, and will communicate this next month.

Members of the two prior UCoC Drafting Committees have generously offered their time to help shape improvements to the Guidelines. You can read more about them and their work here, as well as read summaries of their weekly meetings in 2022.

Wikimedians have provided many valuable comments together with the vote and in other conversations. Given the size and diversity of the Wikimedia community, there are even more voices out there who can give ideas on how to improve the enforcement guidelines and add even more valuable ideas to the process. To help the Revisions committee identify improvements, input on several questions for the committee’s review is requested. Visit the Meta-wiki pages (Enforcement Guidelines revision discussions, Policy text revision discussions) to get your ideas to the Committee - it is very important that viewpoints are heard from different communities before the Committee begins drafting revision proposals.

On behalf of the UCoC project team

Propose statements for the 2022 Election Compass

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

Hi all,

Community members in the 2022 Board of Trustees election are invited to propose statements to use in the Election Compass.

An Election Compass is a tool to help voters select the candidates that best align with their beliefs and views. The community members will propose statements for the candidates to answer using a Lickert scale (agree/neutral/disagree). The candidates’ answers to the statements will be loaded into the Election Compass tool. Voters will use the tool by entering in their answer to the statements (agree/disagree/neutral). The results will show the candidates that best align with the voter’s beliefs and views.

Here is the timeline for the Election Compass
  • July 8 - 20: Community members propose statements for the Election Compass
  • July 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and removes off-topic statements
  • July 23 - August 1: Volunteers vote on the statements
  • August 2 - 4: Elections Committee selects the top 15 statements
  • August 5 - 12: candidates align themselves with the statements
  • August 15: The Election Compass opens for voters to use to help guide their voting decision

The Elections Committee will select the top 15 statements at the beginning of August. The Elections Committee will oversee the process, supported by the Movement Strategy and Governance team. MSG will check that the questions are clear, there are no duplicates, no typos, and so on.

Best,

Movement Strategy and Governance

Enabling Section Translation: a new mobile translation experience

Tere Estonian Wikipedians!

Apologies as this message is not in Estonian language, Palun aita emakeelde tõlkida.

The WMF Language team is pleased to let you know that we will like to enable the Section translation tool in Estonian Wikipedia. For this, our team will love you to read about the tool and test it so you can:

  • Give us your feedback
  • Ask us questions
  • Tell us how to improve it.

Below is background information about Section translation, why we have chosen your community, and how to test it.

Background information

Content Translation has been a successful tool for editors to create content in their language. More than one million articles have been created across all languages since the tool was released in 2015. The Wikimedia Foundation Language team has improved the translation experience further with the Section Translation. The WMF Language team enabled the early version of the tool in February in Bengali Wikipedia. Through their feedback, the tool was improved and ready for your community to test and help us with feedback to make it better.

Section Translation extends the capabilities of Content Translation to support mobile devices. On mobile, the tool will:

  • Guide you to translate one section at a time in order to expand existing articles or create new ones.
  • Make it easy to transfer knowledge across languages anytime from your mobile device.

Estonian Wikipedia seems an ideal candidate to enjoy this new tool since data shows significant mobile editing activity.

We plan to enable the tool on Estonian Wikipedia in the coming weeks if there are no objections from your community. After it is enabled, we’ll monitor the content created with the tool and process all the feedback. In any case, feel free to raise any concerns or questions you may already have in any of the following formats:

Try the tool

Before the enablement, you can try the current implementation of the tool in our testing instance. Once it is enabled on Estonian Wikipedia, you’ll have access to https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ContentTranslation with your mobile device. You can select an article to translate, and machine translation will be provided as a starting point for editors to improve.

Provide feedback

Please provide feedback about Section translation in any of the formats you are most comfortable with. We want to hear about your impressions on:

  • The tool
  • What you think about our plans to enable it
  • Your ideas for improving the tool.

Thanks, and we look forward to your feedback and questions.

UOzurumba (WMF) (arutelu) 7. juuli 2022, kell 08:43 (EEST) On behalf of the WMF Language team

PS: Sending your feedback or questions in English is particularly appreciated. But, you can still send them in the language of your choice.

Section Translation tool enabled in Estonian Wikipedia

Hello Friends!

The Language team is pleased to let you know that the Section Translation tool is now enabled in Estonian Wikipedia. It means you can translate real content one section at a time using your mobile devices with ease.

Now you can also start translating an article on your mobile device right when you notice it is missing in Estonian. From a Wikipedia article in any language, switch languages and search for eesti. If the article does not exist, an option to translate it will appear, as shown in the image below.

Image of the entry point

Content created with the tool will be marked with the “sectiontranslation” tag for the community to review. We’ll monitor the content created, but we are very interested in hearing about your experience using the tool and reviewing the content created with it.

So, enjoy the tool and provide feedback on improving it.

Thank you!

Invitation to join the Movement Strategy Forum

Mall:More languages

Hello everyone,

The Movement Strategy Forum (MS Forum) is a multilingual collaborative space for all conversations about Movement Strategy implementation.

We are inviting all Movement participants to collaborate on the MS Forum. The goal of the forum is to build community collaboration, using an inclusive multilingual platform.

The Movement Strategy is a collaborative effort to imagine and build the future of the Wikimedia Movement. Anyone can contribute to the Movement Strategy, from a comment to a full-time project.

Join this forum with your Wikimedia account, engage in conversations, and ask questions in your language.

The Movement Strategy and Governance team (MSG) launched the proposal for the MS Forum in May 2022. There was a 2-month community review period, which ended on 24 July 2022.

Invitation to attend “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter” Sessions

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

Hello all,

During the 2022 Wikimedia Summit, the Movement Charter Drafting Committee (MCDC) presented the first outline of the Movement Charter, giving a glimpse on the direction of its future work, and the Charter itself. The MCDC then integrated the initial feedback collected during the Summit. Before proceeding with writing the Charter for the whole Movement, the MCDC wants to interact with community members and gather feedback on the drafts of the three sections: Preamble, Values & Principles, and Roles & Responsibilities (intentions statement). The Movement Charter drafts will be available on the Meta page here on November 14, 2022. Community wide consultation period on MC will take place from November 20 to December 18, 2022. Learn more about it here.

With the goal of ensuring that people are well informed to fully participate in the conversations and are empowered to contribute their perspective on the Movement Charter, three “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter" sessions have been scheduled in different time zones. Everyone in the Wikimedia Movement is invited to attend these conversations. The aim is to learn about Movement Charter - its goal, purpose, why it matters, and how it impacts your community. MCDC members will attend these sessions to answer your questions and hear community feedback.

The “Ask Me Anything” sessions accommodate communities from different time zones. Only the presentation of the session is recorded and shared afterwards, no recording of conversations. Below is the list of planned events:

  • Asia/Pacific: November 4, 2022 at 09:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Chinese and Japanese.
  • Europe/MENA/Sub Saharan Africa: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Arabic, French and Russian.
  • North and South America/ Western Europe: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Spanish and Portuguese.

On the Meta page you will find more details; Zoom links will be shared 48 hours ahead of the call.

Call for Movement Charter Ambassadors

Individuals or groups from all communities who wish to help include and start conversations in their communities on the Movement Charter are encouraged to become Movement Charter Ambassadors (MC Ambassadors). MC Ambassadors will carry out their own activities and get financial support for enabling conversations in their own languages. Regional facilitators from the Movement Strategy and Governance team are available to support applicants with MC Ambassadors grantmaking. If you are interested please sign up here. Should you have specific questions, please reach out to the MSG team via email: strategy2030@wikimedia.org or on the MS forum.

We thank you for your time and participation.
