Pengusulan kebijakan di WikibukuSunting
Silahkan diskusikan ini di halaman pembicaraannya Sekian Murbaut (bicara) 22 Desember 2016 08.40 (UTC)
- Maaf baru ikut berkomentar. Kesan kebijakan tersebut maksa agar ada kebijakan di Wikibuku. Hal ini dilihat dari angka-angka yang dicantumkan di proposal mengenai kepengurusan (terutama tentang birokat, pengawas, dlsb.); jika saya tidak salah ingat, terdapat kebijakan global (lupa entah di mana) yang mengharuskan angka-angka yang jauh lebih tinggi (kalau tidak salah itu angka yang tercantum di kebijakan Wikipedia bahasa Indonesia). Dan kalaupun mengusulkan kebijakan, yang diajak berkomentar harusnya orang-orang yang aktif di Wikibuku bukan diimpor dari Wikipedia hanya untuk kasih komentar dan kabur. Kalau komunitas di Wikibuku belum besar sehingga belum memerlukan adanya kebijakan, ya kembangkan dulu komunitasnya. Salam. ·· Kenrick 3 Januari 2017 15.07 (UTC)
- Kurang lebih sependapat dengan Kenrick. Membuat kebijakan tanpa komunitas aktif yang cukup aktif hanya akan membuat sia-sia saja nantinya. ··· 👦 Rachmat04 · 💬 4 Januari 2017 00.51 (UTC)
Review of initial updates on Wikimedia movement strategy processSunting
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.
Here is a review of the updates that have been sent so far:
- Update 1 on Wikimedia movement strategy process (15 December 2016)

We invite you to join the movement strategy conversation (now through April 15)Sunting
- 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,

Start of the 2017 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees electionsSunting
Please accept our apologies for cross-posting this message. This message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki.
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-elections

Yayasan Wikimedia akan menguji pusat data sekunder di Dallas. Hal ini guna memastikan Wikipedia dan situs wiki lainnya akan bisa tetap diakses secara daring bahkan setelah terjadinya bencana. Untuk memastikan semuanya berjalan lancar, Departemen Teknologi Wikimedia harus melakukan percobaan terencana. Percobaan ini akan menunjukkan jika proses peralihan antara pusat data dengan pusat lainnya bisa terlaksana dengan baik. Sehingga, percobaan ini membutuhkan banyak tim untuk mempersiapkan uji coba dan siap siaga untuk memperbaiki masalah yang tidak terduga.
Pengalihan lalu lintas data ke pusat data sekunder akan dilakukan pada hari Rabu, 19 April 2017". Pada hari Rabu, 3 Mei 2017, akan dilaksanakan peralihan balik ke pusat data utama.
Sayangnya, karena keterbatasan perangkat lunak MediaWiki, semua penyuntingan harus berhenti dilakukan saat pengalihan terjadi. Kami meminta maaf atas gangguan ini dan kami juga berusahan untuk meminimalkan kejadian seperti ini di masa mendatang.
Anda bisa membaca, namun tidak akan bisa menyunting semua wiki pada jangka waktu tertentu.
- Anda tidak akan bisa menyunting sekitar 20-30 menit pada hari Rabu, 19 April 2017 dan Rabu, 3 Mei 2017. Uji coba akan dilakukan pada 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST).
- Jika Anda mencoba melakukan penyuntingan atau penyimpanan pada waktu tersebut, maka akan muncul pesan galat. Kami berharap tidak akan ada suntingan yang hilang pada waktu tersebut, namun kami tidak dapat menjamin hal tersebut. Jika Anda melihat pesan galat, mohon tunggu hingga semuanya kembali ke sediakala. Kemudian, Anda seharusnya sudah bisa menyimpan suntingan Anda. Namun, kami juga menyarankan jika Anda sebaiknya membuat salinan perubahan yang akan ada lakukan di Wikidata.
Dampak lainnya:
- Pekerjaan latar belakan akan menjadi lebih lambat dan beberapa pekerjaan akan diberhentikan. Pranala merah tidak akan diperbarui secepat biasanya. Jika Anda membuat sebuah artikel yang telah dibuat sebelumnya, pranala tersebut akan tetap merah lebih lama daripada biasanya. Beberapa skrip yang berjalan otomatis harus diberhentikan.
- Kode perangkat lunak tidak akan diperbarui selama seminggu mulai 18 April. Perubahan kode yang tidak terlalu penting tidak akan dilakukan.
This project may be postponed if necessary. Anda dapat membaca dokumen jadwal di wikitech.wikimedia.org Any changes will be announced in the schedule. Akan ada lebih banyak pemberitahuan tentang hal ini. Mohon sebarkan informasi ini ke komunitas Anda. /User:Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk)

Editing News #1—2017Sunting
Baca dalam bahasa lain • Daftar langganan surat kabar multibahasa ini
Tahukan Anda bahwa Anda dapat meninjau perubahan Anda secara visual?
Dalam mode visual, Anda akan melihat penambahan, penghapusan, pranala dan pemformatan baru yang disorot. Perubahan lain, seperti mengubah ukuran gambar, dijelaskan dalam catatan di bagian samping.
Klik tombol tersebut untuk beralih antara perubahan visual dan teks wiki.
Perubahan teks wiki adalah alat perubahan yang sama yang digunakan dalam penyunting teks wiki dan riwayat halaman. Anda dapat membaca dan menerjemahkan panduan pengguna, yang memiliki lebih banyak informasi mengenai bagaimana cara menggunakan penyunting visual.
Sejak surat kabar yang terakhir, Tim VisualEditor telah menghabiskan sebagian besar waktu mereka untuk mendukung mode penyunting teks wiki 2017 yang tersedia di dalam penyunting visual sebagai Fitur Beta, dan menambahkan alat perubahan visual yang baru. Papan kerja mereka tersedia di Phabricator. Anda dapat menemukan pranala ke hasil kerja yang telah diselesaikan setiap minnggunya di mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Prioritas terkini mereka adalah memperbaiki bug, mendukung penyunting teks wiki 2017 sebagai fitur beta, dan memperbaiki alat perubahan visual.
Perubahan terkiniSunting
- Mode penyuntingan teks wiki yang baru sekarang tersedia sebagai Fitur Beta pada perangkat desktop. Penyunting teks wiki 2017 memiliki bilah alat yang sama seperti penyunting visual dan dapat menggunakan layanan citoid serta alat modern lainnya. Buka Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures untuk mengaktifkan Mode teks wiki baru.
- Alat perubahan visual yang baru sekarang tersedia dalam mode visual VisualEditor. Anda bisa beralih antara perubahan teks wiki dan visual. Lebih banyak fitur akan ditambahkan nantinya. Di masa depan, alat ini dapat diintegrasikan ke dalam komponen MediaWiki lainnya. [1]
- Tim telah menambahkan dukungan multi-kolom untuk daftar catatan kaki. Blok
<references />dapat secara otomatis menampilkan daftar referensi yang panjang ke dalam kolom-kolom pada layar lebar. Hal ini membuat catatan kaki lebih mudah dibaca. Anda dapat meminta dukungan multi-kolom untuk wiki Anda. [2] - Kini Anda dapat menggunakan fungsi peramban web Anda untuk mengganti arah pengetikan dalam mode teks wiki yang baru. Hal ini sangat membantu bagi pengguna bahasa RTL (kanan ke kiri) seperti bahasa Urdu atau bahasa Ibrani yang perlu menulis JavaScript maupun CSS. Anda bisa menggunakan Command+Shift+X atau Control+Shift+X untuk beralih arah. [3]
- Cara beralih antara mode penyuntingan visual dan mode penyuntingan teks wiki kini konsisten. Terdapat menu turun-bawah yang menampilkan dua opsi. Menu ini sama sekarang dalam penyuntingan web baik melalui desktop maupun seluler, juga dalam berbagai hal yang menyematkan penyuntingan, misalnya Flow. [4]
- Butir Kategori telah dipindahkan ke atas menu Opsi halaman (sebelumnya berada dalam menu dengan ikon "hamburger") untuk akses yang lebih cepat. [5] Kini ada pula fitur "Templat yang digunakan pada halaman ini" di sini. [6]
- Anda kini dapat membuat tag
<chem>(terkadang dipakai menjadi<ce>) untuk rumus kimia dalam penyunting visual. [7] - Tabel dapat ditetapkan sebagai terbentang atau tidak-terbentang. [8]
- Menu Karakter khusus kini menyertakan karakter untuk Silabus Aborigin Kanada dan tanda kutip siku (‹› and ⟨⟩). Tim berterima kasih kepada pengembang sukarela, Tpt. [9]
- Bug yang membuat konflik beberapa sunting bagian dapat mengosongkan bagian lainnya dari halaman. Hal ini telah diperbaiki. Tim meminta maaf atas gangguan ini. [10]
- Terdapat pintasan papan tombol baru untuk kutipan:
Control+Shift+Kpada PC, atauCommand+Shift+Kpada Mac. Pintasan ini dibuat berdasarkan pintasan untuk membuat pranala, yaituControl+KatauCommand+Ksecara berurutan. [11]
Perubahan selanjutnyaSunting
- Tim sedang mengerjakan alat penyorotan sintaks. Alat ini akan menyoroti pasangan tag
<ref>dan sintaks teks wiki jenis lainnya. Anda bisa mengaktifkan dan menonaktifkannya. Alat ini akan tersedia pertama kali dalam mode teks wiki bawaan VisualEditor, mungkin di akhir tahun 2017. [12] - Jenis tombol yang digunakan untuk Lihat pratayang, Lihat perubahan, dan menyelesaikan penyuntingan akan berubah di semua penyunting teks wiki yang didukung WMF. Tombol yang baru akan menggunakan OOjs UI. Tombol tersebut akan lebih besar, lebih cerah, dan lebih mudah dibaca. Untuk label akan tetap sama. Anda dapat menguji tombol baru tersebut dengan menyunting halaman dan menambahkan
&ooui=1di akhir URL, seperti ini: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project:Sandbox?action=edit&ooui=1 Tampilan lama tidak dapat lagi dikembalikan, meski dengan perubahan CSS lokal. [14] - Penyunting teks wiki 2006 yang lama akan dihapus akhir tahun ini. Penyunting ini digunakan oleh sekitar 0,03% penyunting aktif. Lihat daftar alat penyunting di mediawiki.org jika Anda tidak yakin yang mana yang Anda gunakan. [13]

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.

PENTING: Tinjauan kegiatan adminSunting
Para Pembaca. Kebijakan mengenai penghapusan "hak-hak lanjutan" (pengurus, birokrat, dsb.) telah ditetapkan melalui konsensus komunitas pada tahun 2013. Menurut kebijakan ini, para stewards terus meninjau aktivitas pada wiki-wiki yang menjalankan kebijakan "tidak boleh non-aktif".Dari sepengetahuan kami, wiki Anda tidak memiliki proses formal untuk menghilangkan "hak-hak lanjutan" dari akun yang sudah tidak aktif. artinya bahwa para steward akan mengurus hal ini sesuai ulasan aktivitas admin.
Kami telah menentukan bahwa pengguna berikut merupakan pengguna tidak aktif (tidak ada pengeditan dan tidak ada tindakan log selama lebih dari 2 tahun):
- IvanLanin (birokrat, pengurus)
Para pengguna tersebut akan menerima pemberitahuan segera, meminta mereka untuk memulai diskusi komunitas jika mereka ingin mempertahankan beberapa atau semua hak-hak mereka. Jika pengguna tidak merespon, maka hak-hak lanjutan mereka akan dihapus oleh para steward.
Namun, jika Anda sebagai anggota komunitas ingin membuat proses peninjauan aktivitas Anda sendiri menggantikan yang global, ingin membuat keputusan lain tentang pemegang hak tidak aktif ini, atau sudah memiliki kebijakan yang kita tidak terjawab, maka silakan memberitahu steward di Meta-wiki sehingga kami tidak perlu melanjutkan dengan meninjau hak pada wiki Anda.

Improved search in deleted pages archiveSunting
Please help translate to your language
During Wikimedia Hackathon 2016, the Discovery team worked on one of the items on the 2015 community wishlist, namely enabling searching the archive of deleted pages. This feature is now ready for production deployment, and will be enabled on all wikis, except Wikidata.
Right now, the feature is behind a feature flag - to use it on your wiki, please go to the Special:Undelete page, and add &fuzzy=1 to the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=1. Then search for the pages you're interested in. There should be more results than before, due to using ElasticSearch indexing (via the CirrusSearch extension).
We plan to enable this improved search by default on all wikis soon (around August 1, 2017). If you have any objections to this - please raise them with the Discovery team via email or on this announcement's discussion page. Like most Mediawiki configuration parameters, the functionality can be configured per wiki.
Once the improved search becomes the default, you can still access the old mode using &fuzzy=0 in the URL, like this: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AUndelete&fuzzy=0
Please note that since Special:Undelete is an admin-only feature, this search capability is also only accessible to wiki admins.

Accessible editing buttonsSunting
You can see and use the old and new versions now. Most editors will only notice that some buttons are slightly larger and have different colors.

Buttons before the change
Buttons after the change
However, this change also affects some user scripts and gadgets. Unfortunately, some of them may not work well in the new system. If you maintain any user scripts or gadgets that are used for editing, please see mw:Contributors/Projects/Accessible editing buttons for information on how to test and fix your scripts. Outdated scripts can be tested and fixed now.
This change will probably reach this wiki on Tuesday, 1 August 2017. Please leave a note at mw:Talk:Contributors/Projects/Accessible editing buttons if you need help.--Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 27 Juli 2017 16.56 (UTC)
New print to pdf feature for mobile web readersSunting
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.
Terima kasih!

Did you know that you can now use the visual diff tool on any page?
Sometimes, it is hard to see important changes in a wikitext diff. This screenshot of a wikitext diff (click to enlarge) shows that the paragraphs have been rearranged, but it does not highlight the removal of a word or the addition of a new sentence.
If you enable the Beta Feature for "Perbedaan visual", you will have a new option. It will give you a new box at the top of every diff page. This box will let you choose either diff system on any edit.
Click the toggle button to switch between visual and wikitext diffs.
In the visual diff, additions, removals, new links, and formatting changes will be highlighted. Other changes, such as changing the size of an image, are described in notes on the side.
This screenshot shows the same edit as the wikitext diff. The visual diff highlights the removal of one word and the addition of a new sentence.
You can read and help translate the user guide, which has more information about how to use the visual editor.
Since the last newsletter, the Editing Team has spent most of their time supporting the 2017 wikitext editor mode, which is available inside the visual editor as a Beta Feature, and improving the visual diff tool. Their work board is available in Phabricator. You can find links to the work finished each week at mw:VisualEditor/Weekly triage meetings. Their current priorities are fixing bugs, supporting the 2017 wikitext editor, and improving the visual diff tool.
Recent changesSunting
- 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. The team have been comparing the performance of different editing environments. They have studied how long it takes to open the page and start typing. The study uses data for more than one million edits during December and January. Some changes have been made to improve the speed of the 2017 wikitext editor and the visual editor. Recently, the 2017 wikitext editor opened fastest for most edits, and the 2010 WikiEditor was fastest for some edits. More information will be posted at 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. [14]
- Wikitext syntax highlighting is available as a Beta Feature for both the 2017 wikitext editor and the 2010 wikitext editor. [15]
- The citoid service automatically translates URLs, DOIs, ISBNs, and PubMed id numbers into wikitext citation templates. It is very popular and useful to editors, although it can be a bit tricky to set up. Your wiki can have this service. Please read the instructions. You can ask the team to help you enable citoid at your wiki.
Let's work togetherSunting
- The team will talk about editing tools at an upcoming Wikimedia Foundation metrics and activities meeting.
- Wikibooks, Wikiversity, and other communities may have the visual editor made available by default to contributors. If your community wants this, then please contact Dan Garry.
- 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 webSunting
Update on page issues on mobile web
Please help translate to your language 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.

Consultation on the creation of a separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JSSunting
(Please help translate to your language)
Hi all,
I'm preparing a change in who can edit sitewide CSS/JS pages. (These are pages like MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Vector.js which are executed in the browser of all readers and editors.) Currently all administrators are able to edit these pages, which poses a serious and unnecessary security risk. Soon, a dedicated, smaller user group will take over this task. Your community will be able to decide who belongs in this group, so this should mean very little change for you. You can find out more and provide feedback at the consultation page on Meta. If you are involved in maintaining CSS/JS code, or policymaking around adminship requests, please give it a look!
Thanks!

New user group for editing sitewide CSS/JSSunting
(Please help translate to your language)
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 nowSunting
(Please help translate to your language)
Hi all,
as announced previously, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed: only members of the interface-admin (Pengurus antarmuka) 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!

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data centre. 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 to the secondary data center on Wednesday, 12 September 2018. On Wednesday, 10 October 2018, they will switch back to the primary data center.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop when we switch. 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 Wednesday, 12 September and Wednesday, 10 October. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Thursday 13 September and Thursday 11 October).
- 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.
- There will be code freezes for the weeks of 10 September 2018 and 8 October 2018. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community. /User:Johan(WMF) (talk)

The GFDL license on CommonsSunting
This has been posted here because your wiki allows local file uploads. Please help translate to your language.
Commons will no longer allow uploads of photos, paintings, drawings, audio and video that use the GFDL license and no other license. This starts after 14 October. Textbooks, manuals and logos, diagrams and screenshots from GFDL software manuals that only use the GFDL license are still allowed. Files licensed with both GFDL and an accepted license like Creative Commons BY-SA are still allowed.
There is no time limit to move files from other projects to Commons. The licensing date is all that counts. It doesn't matter when the file was uploaded or created. Every wiki that allows local uploads should check if bots, scripts and templates that are used to move files to Commons need to be updated. Also update your local policy documentation if needed.
The decision to allow files that only have a GFDL license, or not allow them, is a decision all wikis can make for themselves. Your wiki can decide to continue allowing the files that Commons will no longer allow after 14 October. If your wiki decides to continue to allow files after 14 October that Commons will no longer allow those files should not be moved to Commons. — Alexis Jazz, distributed by Johan using MassMessage

Change coming to how certain templates will appear on the mobile web
Please help translate to your language
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.
Terima kasih!

FileExporter beta featureSunting
A new beta feature will soon be released on all wikis: The FileExporter. It allows exports of files from a local wiki to Wikimedia Commons, including their file history and page history. Which files can be exported is defined by each wiki's community: Please check your wiki's configuration file if you want to use this feature.
The FileExporter has already been a beta feature on mediawiki.org, meta.wikimedia, deWP, faWP, arWP, koWP and on wikisource.org. After some functionality was added, it's now becoming a beta feature on all wikis. Deployment is planned for January 16. More information can be found on the project page.
As always, feedback is highly appreciated. If you want to test the FileExporter, please activate it in your user preferences. The best place for feedback is the central talk page. Thank you from Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes project.

Talk to us about talkingSunting
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.

Wikimedia Foundation Medium-Term Plan feedback requestSunting
Please help translate to your language
Sunting
I recently organized a project to share templates and modules between wiki projects and languages. It allows modules and templates to be “language-neutral”, and store all text translations on Commons. This means that it is enough to copy/paste a template without any changes, and update the translations separately. If someone fixes a bug or adds a new feature in the original module, you can copy/paste it again without any translation work. My bot DiBabelYurikBot can help with copying. This way users can spend more time on content, and less time on updating and copying templates. Please see project page for details and ask questions on talk page.
P.S. I am currently running for the Wikimedia board, focusing on content and support of multi-language communities. If you liked my projects like maps, graphs, or this one, I will be happy to receive your support. (any registered user group can vote).

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 releasesSunting
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 projectsSunting
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 aheadSunting
- 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.

Update on the consultation about office actionsSunting
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 Agustus 2019 08.03 (UTC)
New tools and IP maskingSunting
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.

The consultation on partial and temporary Foundation bans just startedSunting
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 projectSunting
Please help translate to your language
Hello. 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.

Additional interface for edit conflicts on talk pagesSunting
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) 26 Februari 2020 14.15 (UTC)

The Editing team has been working on the talk pages project. The goal of the talk pages project is to help contributors communicate on wiki more easily. This project is the result of the Talk pages consultation 2019.
The team is building a new tool for replying to comments now. This early version can sign and indent comments automatically. Please test the new Reply tool.
- On 31 March 2020, the new reply tool was offered as a Beta Feature editors at four Wikipedias: Arabic, Dutch, French, and Hungarian. If your community also wants early access to the new tool, contact User:Whatamidoing (WMF).
- The team is planning some upcoming changes. Please review the proposed design and share your thoughts on the talk page. The team will test features such as:
- an easy way to mention another editor ("pinging"),
- a rich-text visual editing option, and
- other features identified through user testing or recommended by editors.
To hear more about Editing Team updates, please add your name to the "Get involved" section of the project page. You can also watch 
these pages: the main project page, Updates, Replying, and User testing.

This issue of the Editing newsletter includes information the Talk pages project, an effort to help contributors communicate on wiki more easily.
- Reply tool: This is available as a Beta Feature at the four partner wikis (Arabic, Dutch, French, and Hungarian Wikipedias). The Beta Feature is called "Discussion tools". The Beta Feature will get new features soon. The new features include writing comments in a new visual editing mode and pinging other users by typing
@. You can test the new features on the Beta Cluster now. Some other wikis will have a chance to try the Beta Feature in the coming months. - New requirements for user signatures: Soon, users will not be able to save invalid custom signatures in Special:Preferences. This will reduce signature spoofing, prevent page corruption, and make new talk page tools more reliable. Most editors will not be affected.
- New discussion tool: The Editing team is beginning work on a simpler process for starting new discussions. You can see the initial design on the project page.
- Research on the use of talk pages: The Editing team worked with the Wikimedia research team to study how talk pages help editors improve articles. We learned that new editors who use talk pages make more edits to the main namespace than new editors who don't use talk pages.

Feedback on movement namesSunting
Hello. Apologies if you are not reading this message in your native language. Please help translate to your language if necessary. Terima kasih!
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, 2 Juli 2020 19.52 (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.

Tujuh tahun yang lalu pada bulan yang sama, Tim penyuntingan menawarkan visual editor kepada sebagian besar penyunting Wikipedia. Sejak saat itu, penyunting telah meraih banyak tonggak prestasi:
- Lebih dari 50 juta suntingan telah dilakukan dengan menggunakan visual editor di desktop.
- Lebih dari 2 juta artikel baru dibuat dengan editor visual. Lebih dari 600.000 artikel di antaranya dibuat selama tahun 2019.
- Editor visual menjadi populer. Proporsi dari seluruh suntingan yang dibuat dengan menggunakan editor visual bertambah setiap tahun sejak pertama kali diperkenalkan.
- Pada tahun 2019, 35% suntingan dibuat oleh pengguna baru (editor yang masuk log dengan ≤ 99 suntingan) menggunakan editor visual. Persentasenya bertambah setiap tahun.
- Hampir 5 juta suntingan dilakukan di tampilan seluler dibuat dengan menggunakan editor visual. Sebagian besar di antaranya dibuat sejak tim Editing mulai memperbarui editor visual ponsel pada tahun 2018.
- Pada 17 November 2019, suntingan pertama dari luar angkasa dibuat dengan menggunakan editor visual ponsel. 🚀 👩🚀
- Penyunting Wikipedia telah membuat lebih dari 7 juta suntingan dengan menggunakan editor tekswiki, termasuk memulai 600.000 artikel baru dengan menggunakannya. Editor tekswiki 2017 merupakan mode tekswiki yang dibawa langsung oleh VisualEditor. Anda dapat mengaktifkannya sesuai preferensi.

Announcing a new wiki project! Welcome, Abstract WikipediaSunting
Mengumumkan proyek wiki baru! Selamat datang, Wikipedia AbstrakSunting
Selamat sejahtera,
Dengan bangga saya memperkenalkan Wikipedia Abstrak, sebuah proyek baru yang mendapat dukungan penuh oleh Dewan Pengawas Wikimedia Foundation. Wikipedia Abstrak mengusulkan cara baru menghasilkan konten dasar ensiklopedia dalam gaya multibahasa, yang dapat membuat kontributor dan pembaca berbagi lebih banyak pengetahuan dalam banyak bahasa. Ini adalah pendekatan yang bertujuan untuk membuat kerja sama lintas bahasa lebih mudah di proyek-proyek kita, meningkatkan keberlanjutan gerakan kita dengan memperluas akses terhadap partisipasi, peningkatan pengalaman pengguna bagi pembaca semua bahasa, dan berinovasi dalam pengetahuan gratis dengan menghubungkan beberapa kekuatan gerakan kita untuk menciptakan sesuatu yang baru.
This is our first new project in over seven years. Abstract Wikipedia was submitted as a project proposal by Denny Vrandečić in May 2020 [1] after years of preparation and research, leading to a detailed plan and lively discussions in the Wikimedia communities. We know that the energy and the creativity of the community often runs up against language barriers, and information that is available in one language may not make it to other language Wikipedias. Wikipedia Abstrak bermaksud untuk terlihat dan terasa seperti Wikipedia, tetapi membangun model konseptual Wikidata yang kuat dan mandiri dalam bahasa, dengan tujuan membiarkan sukarelawan membuat dan memelihara artikel Wikipedia di seluruh dunia poliglot Wikimedia.
Proyek ini akan memungkinkan sukarelawan untuk mengumpulkan artikel dasar menggunakan kata-kata dan entitas dari Wikidata. Karena Wikidata menggunakan model konseptual yang dimaksudkan untuk bersifat universal lintas bahasa, harus dimungkinkan untuk menggunakan dan memperluas blok bangunan pengetahuan ini untuk membuat model untuk artikel yang juga memiliki nilai universal. Dengan menggunakan kode, sukarelawan dapat menerjemahkan "artikel" abstrak ini ke dalam bahasa mereka sendiri. Jika berhasil, pada akhirnya ini dapat memungkinkan semua orang untuk membaca tentang topik apa pun di Wikidata dalam bahasa mereka sendiri.
As you can imagine, this work will require a lot of software development, and a lot of cooperation among Wikimedians. In order to make this effort possible, Denny will join the Foundation as a staff member in July and lead this initiative. You may know Denny as the creator of Wikidata, a long-time community member, a former staff member at Wikimedia Deutschland, and a former Trustee at the Wikimedia Foundation [2]. We are very excited that Denny will bring his skills and expertise to work on this project alongside the Foundation’s product, technology, and community liaison teams.
It is important to acknowledge that this is an experimental project, and that every Wikipedia community has different needs. This project may offer some communities great advantages. Other communities may engage less. Every language Wikipedia community will be free to choose and moderate whether or how they would use content from this project.
We are excited that this new wiki-project has the possibility to advance knowledge equity through increased access to knowledge. It also invites us to consider and engage with critical questions about how and by whom knowledge is constructed. We look forward to working in cooperation with the communities to think through these important questions.
There is much to do as we begin designing a plan for Abstract Wikipedia in close collaboration with our communities. I encourage you to get involved by going to the project page and joining the new mailing list [3]. We recognize that Abstract Wikipedia is ambitious, but we also recognize its potential. We invite you all to join us on a new, unexplored path.
Hormat kami,
Katherine Maher (Direktur Eksekutif, Yayasan Wikimedia)

Kode Etik Universal (Universal Code of Conduct)Sunting
Meneruskan pesan dari tim Trust and Safety WMF:
Dalam 19 tahun terakhir, para Wikimedian telah bahu-membahu membangun sumber daya pengetahuan bebas paling besar dalam sejarah umat manusia. Dalam waktu yang singkat, Wikimedia telah tumbuh dari sekelompok kecil penyunting menjadi sebuah masyarakat besar yang terdiri atas para editor, pengembang, mitra berafiliasi, pembaca, penyumbang, dan rekan kerja sama. Anda tentu menyadari bahwa untuk komunitas masih harus bekerja keras untuk bisa mewujudkan cita-cita Wikimedia, yang terejawantahkan pada pernyataan "bayangkan sebuah dunia di mana setiap orang dapat berbagi segala macam pengetahuan dengan bebas" (imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge).
Di sisi lain, komunitas Wikimedia masih belum memiliki panduan yang jelas dan mengikat untuk menciptakan sebuah lingkungan di mana pengetahuan bebas dapat dibagikan tanpa sebarang ketakutan. Untuk menciptakan hal itu, perlulah dijamin keamanan dan kenyamanan semua orang yang ingin berbagi pengetahuan secara bebas, sehingga dapat mendorong mereka untuk bergabung dan berkontribusi. Singkatnya, diperlukan sebuah panduan yang dapat membangun sebuah lingkungan yang inklusif, konstruktif, dan mendorong pembebasan pengetahuan.
Selama ini, telah ada perbincangan atas perlunya sebuah peraturan perilaku global yang mengikat seluruh komunitas Wikimedia. Dewan Pengawas Yayasan Wikimedia telah mengumumkan Community Culture Statement yang menjadi panduan untuk mencegah pelecehan dan menganjurkan inklusivitas di seluruh proyek Wikimedia. Sebagai pelaksanaan dari pernyataan tersebut, sebuah Kode Etik Universal (Universal Code of Conduct) akan diadakan sebagai standar minimum di seluruh proyek Wikimedia dan akan berlaku bagi para sukarelawan maupun staf Wikimedia di seluruh dunia. Kode Etik ini akan menjadi dasar pertimbangan dalam seluruh kegiatan di Wikimedia, baik itu pada tingkat proyek, kelompok, maupun perseorangan.
Mari berpartipasi dalam perbincangan mengenai Kode Etik Universal ini: apa yang mesti diatur dan tidak perlu diatur, bagaimana cara peraturan ini berkembang dan diterapkan, dan apa untung-ruginya bagi komunitas Wikimedia. Komunitas Anda adalah bagian dari Wikimedia, dan suara Anda amat berharga. Anda dapat memulai dengan membaca rancangan Kode Etik Universal dan membincangkannya di halaman diskusinya.
Agar lebih banyak anggota komunitas Wikimedia yang berpartisipasi, Anda dianjurkan untuk menerjemahkan rancangan Kode Etik Universal ke dalam bahasa Anda. Perlu dicatat bahwa jika halaman Kode Etik Universal tersebut belum diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Anda, usulan atau tanggapan dalam bahasa selain Inggris pada diskusi yang dimulai dengan bahasa Inggris akan tetap diterima.
Salam, David Wadie Fisher-Freberg (bicara) 14 Juli 2020 18.29 (UTC)
Technical Wishes: FileExporter and FileImporter become default features on all WikisSunting
The FileExporter and FileImporter will become a default features on all wikis until August 7, 2020. They are planned to help you to move files from your local wiki to Wikimedia Commons easier while keeping all original file information (Description, Source, Date, Author, View History) intact. Additionally, the move is documented in the files view history. How does it work?
Step 1: If you are an auto-confirmed user, you will see a link "Move file to Wikimedia Commons" on the local file page.
Step 2: When you click on this link, the FileImporter checks if the file can in fact be moved to Wikimedia Commons. These checks are performed based on the wiki's configuration file which is created and maintained by each local wiki community.
Step 3: If the file is compatible with Wikimedia Commons, you will be taken to an import page, at which you can update or add information regarding the file, such as the description. You can also add the 'Now Commons' template to the file on the local wiki by clicking the corresponding check box in the import form. Admins can delete the file from the local wiki by enabling the corresponding checkbox. By clicking on the 'Import' button at the end of the page, the file is imported to Wikimedia Commons.
If you want to know more about the FileImporter extension or the Technical Wishes Project, follow the links. --For the Technical Wishes Team:Max Klemm (WMDE) 6 Agustus 2020 09.13 (UTC)
