Jenga Wikipedia ya Kiswahili - mkutano Berlin na mawazo kuhusu Wikimedia 2030 strategy[hariri chanzo]

Taadhali tushauriane kuhusu mahudhurio katika mkutano wa meta:Wikimedia Summit 2020 utakaofanyika Berlin kwenye Aprili 2020. Nilifahamishwa usiku wa J'pili kwa baruapepe pamoja na habari kwamba mwisho wa kujiandikisha ni siku ileile. Niliamua kupeleka jina langu kwa sababu sijaona uwezekano kuwasiliana nanyi. Sasa nimepata jibu hawakuridhika na majibu yangu kwa maswali kadhaa wametuongezea wiki moja. Basi ujumbe huu una shabaha 2:

  1. kama mtu mwingine anapendekeza kwa niaba ya kundi letu - jina litajwe sasa!
  2. tujaribu kuunda majibu kwa maswali yafuatayo:
    • How has your Wikimedia organization or group been involved in Movement Strategy/Wikimedia 2030?
    • How does your Wikimedia organization or group anticipate to be involved in the implementation phase of Movement Strategy/Wikimedia 2030?

Leo tarehe 17-12-2019 naona majina yafuatayo yameandikishwa kwenye ukurasa wetu pale Meta: mtumiaji:Baba Tabita, mtumiaji:ChriKo, mtumiaji:Kipala,mtumiaji:Muddyb, mtumiaji:Riccardo Riccioni, mtumiaji:Jon Harald Søby, mtumiaji:Abbasjnr, mtumiaji:sultanseifu Kipala (majadiliano) 08:46, 17 Desemba 2019 (UTC)[jibu]

Nakubali atuwakilishe Kipala. Kuhusu maswali, sielewi kitu. --Riccardo Riccioni (majadiliano) 10:35, 17 Desemba 2019 (UTC)[jibu]
Nikijaribu kujibu mwenyewe: As a group we have not participated in discussions about this strategy. As a group we are too small to be sure to exist until 2030. Even though, from looking at the "Strategic_direction" of the strategy website our focus looks to make sense in that context. We aim to build a quality assembly of knowledge in Swahili language. At the time being we are still few but with the expansion of internet accessibility in East Africa we aim to build a good foundation where others who will come later can build upon. - Zaidi sijui kusema, bila kuanza kutunga shairi. Mnaonaje?Kipala (majadiliano) 13:06, 17 Desemba 2019 (UTC)[jibu]
Sawa kabisa. Kama kawaida yangu, nimesahihisha kidogo... Amani kwenu! --Riccardo Riccioni (majadiliano) 13:16, 17 Desemba 2019 (UTC)[jibu]
Naunga mkono hoja. Kipala atuwakilishe huko. Nimesoma pendekezo, limekaa vyema kabisa.--'Muddyb Mwanaharakati' 'Longa' 18:48, 19 Desemba 2019 (UTC)[jibu]
Kwa kweli singejua nini kingine cha kutoa kama majibu kwa maswali hayo. Lakini tuwaulize washiriki wa kikundi chetu kama wote wanakubaliana na mwelekeo wa kimkakati wa Wikipedia. Ikiwa wote au zaidi ya nusu wanakubali, basi unaweza kuitangaza kwa mkutano. ChriKo (majadiliano) 15:55, 20 Desemba 2019 (UTC)[jibu]

Additional interface for edit conflicts on talk pages[hariri chanzo]

Sorry, for writing this text in English. If you could help to translate it, it would be appreciated.

You might know the new interface for edit conflicts (currently a beta feature). Now, Wikimedia Germany is designing an additional interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. This interface is shown to you when you write on a discussion page and another person writes a discussion post in the same line and saves it before you do. With this additional editing conflict interface you can adjust the order of the comments and edit your comment. We are inviting everyone to have a look at the planned feature. Let us know what you think on our central feedback page! -- For the Technical Wishes Team: Max Klemm (WMDE) 14:15, 26 Februari 2020 (UTC)[jibu]

Feedback on movement names[hariri chanzo]

Hello. Apologies if you are not reading this message in your native language. Please help translate to your language if necessary. Asante!

There are a lot of conversations happening about the future of our movement names. We hope that you are part of these discussions and that your community is represented.

Since 16 June, the Foundation Brand Team has been running a survey in 7 languages about 3 naming options. There are also community members sharing concerns about renaming in a Community Open Letter.

Our goal in this call for feedback is to hear from across the community, so we encourage you to participate in the survey, the open letter, or both. The survey will go through 7 July in all timezones. Input from the survey and discussions will be analyzed and published on Meta-Wiki.

Thanks for thinking about the future of the movement, --The Brand Project team, 19:42, 2 Julai 2020 (UTC)

Note: The survey is conducted via a third-party service, which may subject it to additional terms. For more information on privacy and data-handling, see the survey privacy statement.

Request for bot approval: InternetArchiveBot[hariri chanzo]

Hello everyone. Recently I have configured InternetArchiveBot so that it can run on Swahili Wikipedia, and I would like to request approval to run it here. It is approved to run on over 40 Wikimedia wikis to replace dead links on articles to archives in the Wayback Machine. The bot would run continuously and make approximately 60 edits per minute. Admins can also adjust the settings and translate bot messages on this configuration page. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Harej (majadiliano) 00:01, 25 Novemba 2020 (UTC)[jibu]

Kipala, currently global bots are restricted to fixing double redirects and syncing interlanguage links (now obsolete). There is an ongoing RFC linked above to expand this policy however. In the meantime I'd like to seek approval to run on this wiki and have submitted my request to Wikipedia:Bots. Harej (majadiliano) 19:34, 25 Novemba 2020 (UTC)[jibu]

You will still be able to turn it on or off yourself in Special:Preferences.

The test will run for several weeks. The results will be posted at mw:Talk pages project/replying#Metrics in late January or February. The test results will help Wikipedia editors and the Editing team decide whether the tool should be turned on for everyone.

Proposal: Set two-letter project shortcuts as alias to project namespace globally[hariri chanzo]

Please help translate to your language

Hello everyone,

I apologize for posting in English. I would like to inform everyone that I created a new global request for comment (GRFC) at Meta Wiki, which may affect your project: m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally.

In this GRFC, I propose that two-project shortcuts for project names will become a default alias for the project namespace. For instance, on all Wikipedias, WP will be an alias to the Wikipedia: namespace (and similar for other projects). Full list is available in the GRFC.

This is already the case for Wikivoyages, and many individual projects asked for this alias to be implemented. I believe this makes it easier to access the materials in the project namespace, as well as creating shortcuts like WP:NPOV, as well as helps new projects to use this feature, without having to figure out how to request site configuration changes first.

As far as I can see, Wikipedia currently does not have such an alias set. This means that such an alias will be set for you, if the GRFC is accepted by the global community.

I would like to ask all community members to participate in the request for comment at Meta-Wiki, see m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally.

Please feel free to ask me if you have any questions about this proposal.

Best regards,

Universal Code of Conduct – 2021 consultations[hariri chanzo]

Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2[hariri chanzo]

Please help translate to your language

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a universal baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire Wikimedia movement and all its projects. The project is currently in Phase 2, outlining clear enforcement pathways. You can read more about the whole project on its project page.

Drafting Committee: Call for applications[hariri chanzo]

The Wikimedia Foundation is recruiting volunteers to join a committee to draft how to make the code enforceable. Volunteers on the committee will commit between 2 and 6 hours per week from late April through July and again in October and November. It is important that the committee be diverse and inclusive, and have a range of experiences, including both experienced users and newcomers, and those who have received or responded to, as well as those who have been falsely accused of harassment.

To apply and learn more about the process, see Universal Code of Conduct/Drafting committee.

2021 community consultations: Notice and call for volunteers / translators[hariri chanzo]

From 5 April – 5 May 2021 there will be conversations on many Wikimedia projects about how to enforce the UCoC. We are looking for volunteers to translate key material, as well as to help host consultations on their own languages or projects using suggested key questions. If you are interested in volunteering for either of these roles, please contact us in whatever language you are most comfortable.

To learn more about this work and other conversations taking place, see Universal Code of Conduct/2021 consultations.

Invitation for Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos 2021[hariri chanzo]

Hello there,

We are inviting you to participate in Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos 2021, a global contest scheduled to run from July through August 2021.

Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photo images, then add a suitable file from among the many thousands of photos in the Wikimedia Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests (Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc.) over the years.

In its first year (2020), 36 Wikimedia communities in 27 countries joined the campaign. Events relating to the campaign included training organized by at least 18 Wikimedia communities in 14 countries.

The campaign resulted in the addition of media files (photos, audios and videos) to more than 90,000 Wikipedia articles in 272 languages.

Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) offers an ideal task for recruiting and guiding new editors through the steps of adding content to existing pages. Besides individual participation, the WPWP campaign can be used by user groups and chapters to organize editing workshops and edit-a-thons.

The organizing team is looking for a contact person to coordinate WPWP participation at the Wikimedia user group or chapter level (geographically or thematically) or for a language WP. We’d be glad for you to reply to this message, or sign up directly at WPWP Participating Communities.

Please feel free to contact Organizing Team if you have any query.

Wikimania 2021: Individual Program Submissions[hariri chanzo]

Dear all,

Wikimania 2021 will be hosted virtually for the first time in the event's 15-year history. Since there is no in-person host, the event is being organized by a diverse group of Wikimedia volunteers that form the Core Organizing Team (COT) for Wikimania 2021.

Event Program - Individuals or a group of individuals can submit their session proposals to be a part of the program. There will be translation support for sessions provided in a number of languages. See more information here.

Below are some links to guide you through;

Please note that the deadline for submission is 18th June 2021.

Announcements- To keep up to date with the developments around Wikimania, the COT sends out weekly updates. You can view them in the Announcement section here.

Office Hour - If you are left with questions, the COT will be hosting some office hours (in multiple languages), in multiple time-zones, to answer any programming questions that you might have. Details can be found here.

Best regards,
