Admin and Interface admin for User:QueerEcofeminist
संपादन- Like my earlier request to community, I again want to ask for admin and interface admin rights on this wiki to continue maintaining this project and bring more improvements.
- Currently there are very less active users and the project really needs to improved at the level of gadgets, templates and content organization.
- So I would like to request to community here to support me.
मला या आधीही एकदा प्रचालक अधिकार मिळाले होते आणि मी काही काम केले ही आहे, तसेच परत मिळाल्यास मी आणखीन काम करु इच्छित आहे. thanks QueerEcofeminist (चर्चा) ०७:३७, ४ जुलै २०२१ (UTC)

The 2022 Community Wishlist Survey will happen in January
संपादनHello everyone,
We hope all of you are as well and safe as possible during these trying times! We wanted to share some news about a change to the Community Wishlist Survey 2022. We would like to hear your opinions as well.
Summary:
We will be running the Community Wishlist Survey 2022 in January 2022. We need more time to work on the 2021 wishes. We also need time to prepare some changes to the Wishlist 2022. In the meantime, you can use a dedicated sandbox to leave early ideas for the 2022 wishes.
Proposing and wish-fulfillment will happen during the same year
संपादनIn the past, the Community Tech team has run the Community Wishlist Survey for the following year in November of the prior year. For example, we ran the Wishlist for 2021 in November 2020. That worked well a few years ago. At that time, we used to start working on the Wishlist soon after the results of the voting were published.
However, in 2021, there was a delay between the voting and the time when we could start working on the new wishes. Until July 2021, we were working on wishes from the Wishlist for 2020.
We hope having the Wishlist 2022 in January 2022 will be more intuitive. This will also give us time to fulfill more wishes from the 2021 Wishlist.
Encouraging wider participation from historically excluded communities
संपादनWe are thinking how to make the Wishlist easier to participate in. We want to support more translations, and encourage under-resourced communities to be more active. We would like to have some time to make these changes.
A new space to talk to us about priorities and wishes not granted yet
संपादनWe will have gone 365 days without a Wishlist. We encourage you to approach us. We hope to hear from you in the talk page, but we also hope to see you at our bi-monthly Talk to Us meetings! These will be hosted at two different times friendly to time zones around the globe.
We will begin our first meeting September 15th at 23:00 UTC. More details about the agenda and format coming soon!
Brainstorm and draft proposals before the proposal phase
संपादनIf you have early ideas for wishes, you can use the new Community Wishlist Survey sandbox. This way, you will not forget about these before January 2022. You will be able to come back and refine your ideas. Remember, edits in the sandbox don't count as wishes!
Feedback
संपादन- What should we do to improve the Wishlist pages?
- How would you like to use our new sandbox?
- What, if any, risks do you foresee in our decision to change the date of the Wishlist 2022?
- What will help more people participate in the Wishlist 2022?
Answer on the talk page (in any language you prefer) or at our Talk to Us meetings.
Server switch
संपादनRead this message in another language • कृपया आपल्या भाषेत भाषांतर करण्यास मदत करा
The Wikimedia Foundation tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.
They will switch all traffic back to the primary data center on Tuesday, 14 September 2021.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.
You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.
- You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Tuesday, 14 September 2021. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (07:00 PDT, 10:00 EDT, 15:00 WEST/BST, 16:00 CEST, 19:30 IST, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday, 15 September).
- If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.
Other effects:
- Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
- We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.

Coming soon: Improvements for templates
संपादनHello, more changes around templates are coming to your wiki soon:
The template dialog in VisualEditor and in the 2017 Wikitext Editor (beta) will be improved fundamentally: This should help users understand better what the template expects, how to navigate the template, and how to add parameters.
In syntax highlighting (CodeMirror extension), you can activate a colorblind-friendly color scheme with a user setting.
Deployment is planned for May 10. This is the last set of improvements from WMDE Technical Wishes' focus area “Templates”.
We would love to hear your feedback on our talk pages!

Bot policy
संपादनHello. To facilitate steward granting of bot access, I suggest implementing the standard bot policy on this wiki. In particular, this policy allows stewards to automatically flag known interlanguage linking bots (if this page says that is acceptable) or bots that fix double redirects. The policy also enables global bots on this wiki (if this page says that is acceptable), which are trusted bots that will be given bot access on every wiki that allows global bots.
This policy makes bot access requesting much easier for local users, operators, and stewards. To implement it we only need to create a redirect to this page from Project:Bot policy, and add a line at the top noting that it is used here. If you use or prefer to use a dedicated project page for handling bot flag requests, that is also acceptable. Please read the text at Meta-Wiki before commenting. If you object, please say so; I hope to implement in two weeks if there is no objection, since it is particularly written to streamline bot requests on wikis with little or no community interested in bot access requests. Thank you for your consideration. --Rschen7754 २१:४९, ३१ जुलै २०२२ (UTC)
The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?
संपादन
Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Web team. In two weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.
We have been working on it for the past three years. So far, it has been the default on more than 30 wikis, including sister projects, all accounting for more than 1 billion pageviews per month. On average 87% of active logged-in users of those wikis use Vector 2022.
It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy. Logged-in users can at any time switch to any other skins. No changes are expected for users of these skins.
- Top of an article
-
Vector legacy (current default) -
Vector 2022
- A section of an article
-
Vector legacy (current default) -
Vector 2022
About the skin
संपादन[Why is a change necessary] The current default skin meets the needs of the readers and editors as these were 13 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using Wikimedia projects. The old Vector doesn't meet their needs.
[Objective] The objective for the new skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It draws inspiration from previous requests, the Community Wishlist Surveys, and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins. We reduced PHP code in Wikimedia deployed skins by 75%. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs.
[Changes and test results] The skin introduces a series of changes that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin.
- The sticky header makes it easier to find tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%.
- The new table of contents makes it easier to navigate to different sections. Readers and editors jumped to different sections of the page 50% more than with the old table of contents. It also looks a bit different on talk pages.
- The new search bar is easier to find and makes it easier to find the correct search result from the list. This increased the amount of searches started by 30% on the wikis we tested on.
- The skin does not negatively affect pageviews, edit rates, or account creation. There is evidence of increases in pageviews and account creation across partner communities.
[Try it out] Try out the new skin by going to the appearance tab in your preferences and selecting Vector 2022 from the list of skins.
How can editors change and customize this skin?
संपादनIt's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts. Check out our repository for a list of currently available customizations, or add your own.
Our plan
संपादनIf no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying in the week of October 3, 2022. If your community would like to request more time to discuss the changes, hit the button and write to us. We can adjust the calendar.
If you'd like ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please ping me here or write on the talk page of the project. We will gladly answer! Also, see our FAQ. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) ०४:१४, २२ सप्टेंबर २०२२ (UTC)

Seeking volunteers for the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct process
संपादनHello,
As follow-up to the message about the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines by Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Vice Chair, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, I am reaching out about the next steps. I want to bring your attention to the next stage of the Universal Code of Conduct process, which is forming a building committee for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). I invite community members with experience and deep interest in community health and governance to nominate themselves to be part of the U4C building committee, which needs people who are:
- Community members in good standing
- Knowledgeable about movement community processes, such as, but not limited to, policy drafting, participatory decision making, and application of existing rules and policies on Wikimedia projects
- Aware and appreciative of the diversity of the movement, such as, but not limited to, languages spoken, identity, geography, and project type
- Committed to participate for the entire U4C Building Committee period from mid-May - December 2023
- Comfortable with engaging in difficult, but productive conversations
- Confidently able to communicate in English
The Building Committee shall consist of volunteer community members, affiliate board or staff, and Wikimedia Foundation staff.
The Universal Code of Conduct has been a process strengthened by the skills and knowledge of the community and I look forward to what the U4C Building Committee creates. If you are interested in joining the Building Committee, please either sign up on the Meta-Wiki page, or contact ucocproject wikimedia.org by May 12, 2023. Read more on Meta-Wiki.
Best regards,
Automatic citations based on ISBN are broken
संपादनApologies if this message does not reach you in your favorite language. You can help translate it centrally at Meta. Thanks for your help.
We have recently become unable to access the WorldCat API which provided the ability to generate citations using ISBN numbers. The Wikimedia Foundation's Editing team is investigating several options to restore the functionality, but will need to disable ISBN citation generation for now.
This affects citations made with the VisualEditor Automatic tab, and the use of the citoid API in gadgets and user scripts, such as the autofill button on refToolbar. Please note that all the other automatic ways of generating citations, including via URL or DOI, are still available.
You can keep updated on the situation via Phabricator, or by reading the next issues of m:Tech News. If you know of any users or groups who rely heavily on this feature (for instance, someone who has an upcoming editathon), I'd appreciate it if you shared this update with them.
Elitre (WMF), on behalf of the Editing team.
Selection of the U4C Building Committee
संपादनThe next stage in the Universal Code of Conduct process is establishing a Building Committee to create the charter for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). The Building Committee has been selected. Read about the members and the work ahead on Meta-wiki.

Review the Charter for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee
संपादनHello all,
I am pleased to share the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct work. The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) draft charter is now ready for your review.
The Enforcement Guidelines require a Building Committee form to draft a charter that outlines procedures and details for a global committee to be called the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). Over the past few months, the U4C Building Committee worked together as a group to discuss and draft the U4C charter. The U4C Building Committee welcomes feedback about the draft charter now through 22 September 2023. After that date, the U4C Building Committee will revise the charter as needed and a community vote will open shortly afterward.
Join the conversation during the conversation hours or on Meta-wiki.
Best,
RamzyM (WMF), on behalf of the U4C Building Committee, १५:३५, २८ ऑगस्ट २०२३ (UTC)

Wikimedia Foundation आपल्या नवीन माहितीकेन्द्राची (डेटा सेंटर) चाचणी घेण्याचे बेत करीत आहे. हे सुनिश्चित करेल की विकिपीडिया आणि इतर विकिमीडिया विकी आपत्तीनंतरही ऑनलाइन राहू शकतात. सर्व काही कार्यरत आहे हे सुनिश्चित करण्यासाठी, विकिमिडिया तंत्रज्ञान विभागास नियोजित चाचणी करणे आवश्यक आहे. ही चाचणी दर्शविते की ते एका डेटा सेंटर वरून दुसर्‍या डेटा सेंटरवर विश्वासार्हपणे स्विच करू शकतात का?. यासाठी अनेक संघांना चाचणीची तयारी करणे आवश्यक आहे आणि कोणतीही अनपेक्षित समस्या दूर करण्यासाठी उपलब्ध असणे आवश्यक आहे.
ते दिनांक २० सप्टेंबररोजी दुय्यम डेटा सेंटरवर सर्व रहदारी बदलतील. चाचणी १४:०० UTC ला सुरू होईल.
दुर्दैवाने, MediaWiki मधील काही मर्यादांमुळे, आम्ही स्विच करत असताना सर्व संपादने थांबणे आवश्यक आहे. या व्यत्ययाबद्दल आम्ही दिलगीर आहोत आणि आम्ही भविष्यात ते कमी करण्यासाठी कार्य करीत आहोत.
आपण अल्पावधीतच सर्व विकी वाचण्यास सक्षम असाल, परंतु संपादन करू शकणार नाही.
- बुधवार २० सप्टेंबर २०२३ रोजी आपण एका तासापर्यंत संपादन करण्यास सक्षम राहणार नाही.
- आपण या वेळी संपादित करण्याचा किंवा जतन करण्याचा प्रयत्न केल्यास आपणास एक त्रुटी संदेश दिसेल आम्हाला आशा आहे की या मिनिटांमध्ये कोणतीही संपादने गमावली जाणार नाहीत परंतु आम्ही याची हमी देऊ शकत नाही. आपल्याला त्रुटी संदेश दिसत असल्यास, कृपया सर्वकाही सामान्य होईपर्यंत प्रतीक्षा करा. मग आपण आपले संपादन जतन करण्यात सक्षम असाल. परंतु, आम्ही शिफारस करतो की तुम्ही तुमच्या बदलांची प्रत प्रथम बनवा.
इतर प्रभाव:
- पार्श्वभूमी कृती प्रणाली वेग मंदावला जाउ शकतो आणी काही कृती अपूर्ण राहू शकतात सुटू शकतात. लाल दुवे सामान्य तितक्या लवकर अद्यतनित केले जाऊ शकणार नाहीत. आपण आधीपासूनच कोठेतरी दुवा साधलेला एखादा लेख तयार केल्यास दुवा नेहमीपेक्षा जास्त वेळ लाल राहील. काही दीर्घकाळ-चालू असलेल्या स्क्रिप्ट्स थांबवाव्या लागतील.
- We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.
- GitLab will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?
संपादनRead this in your language • कृपया आपल्या भाषेत भाषांतर करण्यास मदत करा • Please tell other users about these changes
Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Web team. In two weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.
If you prefer keeping the current skin select "Vector legacy (2010)" on the appearance tab of the global preferences and save the change. We encourage you to give the new skin a try, though.
Since I last came to you with this question, many things have changed. The skin is now the default on most Wikipedias, and all logos are done! We have also made some tweaks in the skin itself. Below is the text I've sent to you once, but I'm sending it again, just slightly edited, for those who haven't seen it.
If you know what this is about, jump straight to the section "Our plan":
It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy as a local (but not global) preference. Logged-in users can at any time switch to any other skin. No changes are expected for these skins.

About the skin
संपादन
[Why is a change necessary] When the current default skin was created, it reflected the needs of the readers and editors as these were 14 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using the Internet and Wikimedia projects in different ways. The old Vector does not meet their needs.
[Objective] The objective for the Vector 2022 skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It introduces a series of changes that aim to improve problems new and existing readers and editors were having with the old skin. It draws inspiration from previous user requests, the Community Wishlist Surveys, and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins. The PHP code in the other available skins has been reduced by 75%. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs.
[Changes in a nutshell] The skin introduces changes that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin.
- The limited width and pin-able menus allow to adjust the interface to the screen size, and focus on editing or reading. Logged-in and logged-out users may use a toggle button to keep the full width, though.
- The sticky header makes it easier to find tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%.
- The new table of contents makes it easier to navigate to different sections. Readers and editors jump to different sections of the page 50% more than with the old table of contents. It also looks a bit different on talk pages.
- The new search bar is easier to find and makes it easier to find the correct search result from the list. This increased the amount of searches started by 30% on the tested wikis.
- The skin does not negatively affect pageviews, edit rates, or account creation. There is evidence of increases in pageviews and account creation across partner communities.
[Customize this skin] It's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts. Check out the repository for a list of currently available customizations and changes, or add your own.
Our plan
संपादनIf no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying on 31 October. If you'd like to ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please comment in any language. If this is the first comment to my message, make sure to ping me. We will gladly answer! Also, check out our FAQ. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (चर्चा) २३:५२, १८ ऑक्टोबर २०२३ (UTC)
(New) Feature on Kartographer: Adding geopoints via QID
संपादनSince September 2022, it is possible to create geopoints using a QID. Many wiki contributors have asked for this feature, but it is not being used much. Therefore, we would like to remind you about it. More information can be found on the project page. If you have any comments, please let us know on the talk page. – Best regards, the team of Technical Wishes at Wikimedia Deutschland
Do you use Wikidata in Wikimedia sibling projects? Tell us about your experiences
संपादनNote: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English.
Hello, the Wikidata for Wikimedia Projects team at Wikimedia Deutschland would like to hear about your experiences using Wikidata in the sibling projects. If you are interested in sharing your opinion and insights, please consider signing up for an interview with us in this Registration form.
Currently, we are only able to conduct interviews in English.
The front page of the form has more details about what the conversation will be like, including how we would compensate you for your time.
For more information, visit our project issue page where you can also share your experiences in written form, without an interview.
We look forward to speaking with you, Danny Benjafield (WMDE) (talk) 08:53, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
Reusing references: Can we look over your shoulder?
संपादनApologies for writing in English.
The Technical Wishes team at Wikimedia Deutschland is planning to make reusing references easier. For our research, we are looking for wiki contributors willing to show us how they are interacting with references.
- The format will be a 1-hour video call, where you would share your screen. More information here.
- Interviews can be conducted in English, German or Dutch.
- Compensation is available.
- Sessions will be held in January and February.
- Sign up here if you are interested.
- Please note that we probably won’t be able to have sessions with everyone who is interested. Our UX researcher will try to create a good balance of wiki contributors, e.g. in terms of wiki experience, tech experience, editing preferences, gender, disability and more. If you’re a fit, she will reach out to you to schedule an appointment.
We’re looking forward to seeing you, Thereza Mengs (WMDE)

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection
संपादनDear all,
This year, the term of 4 (four) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.
The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Board Governance Committee created a Board Selection Working Group from Trustees who cannot be candidates in the 2024 community- and affiliate-selected trustee selection process composed of Dariusz Jemielniak, Nataliia Tymkiv, Esra'a Al Shafei, Kathy Collins, and Shani Evenstein Sigalov [3]. The group is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2024 trustee selection process, and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].
Here are the key planned dates:
- May 2024: Call for candidates and call for questions
- June 2024: Affiliates vote to shortlist 12 candidates (no shortlisting if 15 or less candidates apply) [5]
- June-August 2024: Campaign period
- End of August / beginning of September 2024: Two-week community voting period
- October–November 2024: Background check of selected candidates
- Board's Meeting in December 2024: New trustees seated
Learn more about the 2024 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page, and make your plan.
Election Volunteers
Another way to be involved with the 2024 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page.
Best regards,
Dariusz Jemielniak (Governance Committee Chair, Board Selection Working Group)

[3] https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Minutes:2023-08-15#Governance_Committee
[4] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections_committee/Roles
[5] Even though the ideal number is 12 candidates for 4 open seats, the shortlisting process will be triggered if there are more than 15 candidates because the 1-3 candidates that are removed might feel ostracized and it would be a lot of work for affiliates to carry out the shortlisting process to only eliminate 1-3 candidates from the candidate list.

Hello everyone,
After carefully tallying both individual and affiliate votes, the Charter Electoral Commission is pleased to announce the final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter voting.
As communicated by the Charter Electoral Commission, we reached the quorum for both Affiliate and individual votes by the time the vote closed on July 9, 23:59 UTC. We thank all 2,451 individuals and 129 Affiliate representatives who voted in the ratification process. Your votes and comments are invaluable for the future steps in Movement Strategy.
The final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter ratification voting held between 25 June and 9 July 2024 are as follows:
Individual vote:
Out of 2,451 individuals who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 2,446 have been accepted as valid votes. Among these, 1,710 voted “yes”; 623 voted “no”; and 113 selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 73.30% voted to approve the Charter (1710/2333), while 26.70% voted to reject the Charter (623/2333).
Affiliates vote:
Out of 129 Affiliates designated voters who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 129 votes are confirmed as valid votes. Among these, 93 voted “yes”; 18 voted “no”; and 18 selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 83.78% voted to approve the Charter (93/111), while 16.22% voted to reject the Charter (18/111).
Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation:
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees voted not to ratify the proposed Charter during their special Board meeting on July 8, 2024. The Chair of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, Nataliia Tymkiv, shared the result of the vote, the resolution, meeting minutes and proposed next steps.
With this, the Wikimedia Movement Charter in its current revision is not ratified.

लवकरच येत आहे: एक नवीन उप-संदर्भ वैशिष्ट्य – वापरून पहा!
संपादन
नमस्कार. बऱ्याच वर्षांपासून, समुदाय सदस्यांनी वेगवेगळ्या तपशीलांसह संदर्भ पुन्हा वापरण्याचा सोपा मार्ग विनंती केली आहे. आता, एक मिडीया विकी उपाय येत आहे: नवीन उप-संदर्भ वैशिष्ट्य विकिटेक्स्ट आणि व्हिज्युअल एडिटरसाठी कार्य करेल आणि विद्यमान संदर्भ प्रणाली सुधारेल. तुम्ही संदर्भाचे वेगवेगळे मार्ग वापरणे सुरू ठेवू शकता, परंतु तुम्हाला कदाचित इतर वापरकर्त्यांनी लिहिलेल्या लेखांमध्ये उप-संदर्भ आढळतील. प्रकल्प पृष्ठ वर अधिक माहिती.
हे वैशिष्ट्य तुमच्यासाठी चांगले काम करते याची खात्री करण्यासाठी 'आम्हाला तुमचा अभिप्राय हवा आहे:
- कृपया प्रयत्न करा बीटा विकीवरील विकासाची सद्यस्थिती आणि तुम्हाला काय वाटते ते आम्हाला कळवा.
- अपडेट्स आणि/किंवा वापरकर्ता संशोधन क्रियाकलापांमध्ये सहभागी होण्यासाठी आमंत्रित करण्यासाठी येथे साइन अप करा.
विकीमिडीया ड्यूशलँड ची तांत्रिक शुभेच्छा टीम या वर्षाच्या अखेरीस विकिमीडिया विकीवर हे वैशिष्ट्य आणण्याचा विचार करत आहे. आम्ही संदर्भांशी संबंधित साधने आणि टेम्पलेट्सचे निर्माते/ देखभाल करणाऱ्यांपर्यंत आधीच पोहोचू.
कृपया आम्हाला माहिती पसरविण्यात मदत करा. --Johannes Richter (WMDE) (talk) 10:36, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Wikimedia Foundation आपल्या नवीन माहितीकेन्द्राची (डेटा सेंटर) चाचणी घेण्याचे बेत करीत आहे. हे सुनिश्चित करेल की विकिपीडिया आणि इतर विकिमीडिया विकी आपत्तीनंतरही ऑनलाइन राहू शकतात.
ते दिनांक २५ सप्टेंबररोजी दुय्यम डेटा सेंटरवर सर्व रहदारी बदलतील. चाचणी १५:०० UTC ला सुरू होईल.
दुर्दैवाने, MediaWiki मधील काही मर्यादांमुळे, आम्ही स्विच करत असताना सर्व संपादने थांबणे आवश्यक आहे. या व्यत्ययाबद्दल आम्ही दिलगीर आहोत आणि आम्ही भविष्यात ते कमी करण्यासाठी कार्य करीत आहोत.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
आपण अल्पावधीतच सर्व विकी वाचण्यास सक्षम असाल, परंतु संपादन करू शकणार नाही.
- बुधवार २५ सप्टेंबर २०२४ रोजी आपण एका तासापर्यंत संपादन करण्यास सक्षम राहणार नाही.
- आपण या वेळी संपादित करण्याचा किंवा जतन करण्याचा प्रयत्न केल्यास आपणास एक त्रुटी संदेश दिसेल आम्हाला आशा आहे की या मिनिटांमध्ये कोणतीही संपादने गमावली जाणार नाहीत परंतु आम्ही याची हमी देऊ शकत नाही. आपल्याला त्रुटी संदेश दिसत असल्यास, कृपया सर्वकाही सामान्य होईपर्यंत प्रतीक्षा करा. मग आपण आपले संपादन जतन करण्यात सक्षम असाल. परंतु, आम्ही शिफारस करतो की तुम्ही तुमच्या बदलांची प्रत प्रथम बनवा.
इतर प्रभाव:
- पार्श्वभूमी कृती प्रणाली वेग मंदावला जाउ शकतो आणी काही कृती अपूर्ण राहू शकतात सुटू शकतात. लाल दुवे सामान्य तितक्या लवकर अद्यतनित केले जाऊ शकणार नाहीत. आपण आधीपासूनच कोठेतरी दुवा साधलेला एखादा लेख तयार केल्यास दुवा नेहमीपेक्षा जास्त वेळ लाल राहील. काही दीर्घकाळ-चालू असलेल्या स्क्रिप्ट्स थांबवाव्या लागतील.
- We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.
- GitLab will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
आवश्यकता पडल्यास हा प्रकल्प पुढे ढकलण्यात येवू शकतो.. आपण wikitech.wikimedia.org वर वेळापत्रक वाचू शकता. सुचीमधे कोणतेही बदल झाल्यास जाहीर केले जातील.
कृपया आपल्या समुहांमध्ये ही माहिती समाईक करावी.'Wikidata item' link is moving. Find out where...

'Wikidata item' link is moving, finally.
संपादनHello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the Wikidata item sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the General section into the In Other Projects section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. Please let us know if you notice any problems or bugs after this change. There should be no need for null-edits or purging cache for the changes to occur. Kind regards, -Danny Benjafield (WMDE) ११:३०, २२ ऑक्टोबर २०२४ (UTC)
