Betawiki: better support for your language in MediaWiki

Dear community. I am writing to you to promote a special wiki called Betawiki. This wiki facilitates the localisation (l10n) of the MediaWiki interface. You may have changed many messages here to use your language in the interface, but if you would log in to for example the English language Wiktionary, you would not be able to use the interface as well translated as here. Infact, of the 1798 messages in the core of MediaWiki, 1207 messages have been translated. Betawiki also supports the translation of messages of about 80 extensions, with almost 1000 messages.

If you wish to contribute to better support of your language in MediaWiki, as well as for many MediaWiki extensions, please visit Betawiki, create an account and request translator priviledges. You can see the current status of localisation of your language on meta and do not forget to get in touch with others that may already be working on your language on Betawiki.

If you have any further questions, please let me know on my talk page on Betawiki. We will try and assist you as much as possible, for example by importing all messages from a local wiki for you to start with, if you so desire.

You can also find us on the Freenode IRC network in the channel #mediawiki-i18n where we would be happy to help you get started.

Thank you very much for your attention and I do hope to see some of you on Betawiki soon! Cheers! Siebrand@Betawiki 09:47, 28. rujna 2007. (UTC)

Bit wikiknjiga

Kako ovo zapravo funkcionira? Prijavim se, i što onda? Postavljam li tu neke već postojeće stručne knjige, pišem svoje ili kombiniram jedno i drugo? I što s autorskim pravima (ne mojim, nego onih čije knjige postavljam)--83.131.150.143 21:44, 13. svibnja 2008. (UTC)

Pa, prijavite se i pišete knjigu ;), svoju naravno, nipošto tuđu- odnosno prepisati knjigu, postavljati radove zaštićene autorskim pravom bez dozvole je striktno zabranjeno. A, svaki rad odnosno knjiga koju postavite se nalazi pod slobodnom licencom. --Dalibor Bosits ^© 21:51, 13. svibnja 2008. (UTC)

No, npr. ako imam neku temu o kojoj bih napravio wikiknjigu, no skroz drukčiji pristup tome nego netko tko se već dao na uređivanje knjige o upravo toj temi, mogu li ja napraviti drugu knjigu iste tematike ili moram mijenjati istu i "svađati se" s drugim suradnikom?--89.172.78.84 21:12, 14. svibnja 2008. (UTC)

Isto kao i na wikipediji gdje ne postoje dva članka o istoj temi. Ne vidim niti jedan razlog zašto se bilo koja trenutno postojeća knjiga ne bi mogla nadopuniti s novim podnaslovima (tekstom) bez potrebe za za «svađom». Zato nema potrebe otvarati novu knjigu nego poraditi na već postojećoj poštujući pravila. Ako se ne slažete s nekim tekstom ili je on krivo napisan, uvijek se može uz reference to promijeniti (za što i služi stranica za razgovor). --D tom 10:03, 15. svibnja 2008. (UTC)

Prijedlog za novu knjigu

Predlažem da se napravi knjiga o Domovinskom ratu . Mislim da će se svi složiti (nadam se), jer mlađe generacije zaboravljaju kako je Hrvatska došla do samostalnosti i koje su zločine Srbi počinili nad Hrvatima. Bilo bi dobro da tu knjigu radi više ljudi kako ne bi izgledalo da je knjiga nečije osobno mišljenje o Domovinskom ratu. Na wikipediji ima dosta o tome, i samo bi trebalo neke članke nadopunit. Knjiga bi sadržavala sve vojne operacije, biografije generala, zločine itd. U tu knjigu može se postaviti i put Hrvatske do samostalnosti i onda bi se samo naziv izmijenio. I ja bi pomogao oko te knjige koliko budem mogao. Culo-sija 08:27, 13. kolovoza 2008. (CEST)

Ideja za svaku knjigu je dobrodošla, budeš li se posla primio kao i na člancima wikipedije ima izgleda :-)))). Pozdrav susjedu --D tom 10:23, 13. kolovoza 2008. (CEST)

Nikcro32, zahtjev za postavljanje loga je već predan, potraje dan dva dok se obradi, naravno, ja ga mogu i sam postaviti zaobilaznim putem, ali će se pričekati da se postavi u datoteci s postavkama, kako se obično i radi, ne bi trebalo potrajati dugo, (ps, smanjio sam sliku da ne narušava tok ove stranice) lijep pozdrav ;o) --Dalibor Bosits ^© 22:37, 17. siječnja 2009.

Napravi knjigu

Vrlo zanimljiv i jednostavan alat. Admini prevedite Pomoć sa en:wiki, prevedite nekoliko medijawiki poruka i naravno predloške koji se koriste i imate svoju knjigu. :-)) Andrej Šalov 18:21, 3. svibnja 2009. (CEST)

Pogledala sam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Books#Step_1_-_Creating_the_book_from_a_collection_of_articles, i zaista je jednostavno posložiti članke u knjigu. Htjela bih napraviti knjigu o osnovama oftalmologije od postojećih članaka, njih oko 150 na broju. Može li se to učiniti na hr.Wiki onako jednostavno kako je to na en.Wiki? Važno mi je, jer bih takvu knjigu mogla odlično iskoristiti za propagiranje Wikipedije na medicinskim fakultetima. Maria Sieglinda von Nudeldorf 15:50, 19. svibnja 2009. (CEST)

Za sada je ta opcija dostupna samo ovdje na knjigama. Na wikipediji još nije, ali se i ja nadam da na tome rade kolege koji se u to razumiju više od mene.--D tom 15:44, 20. svibnja 2009. (CEST)

Naslovnica

Imam jedan prijedlog koji mi je pao na pamet tijekom surfanja ovim i drugim wikiknjgama: napraviti {{Predložak:Naslovnica}}, koji bi se stavljao na početak svake wikiknjige. Njegov primjer dajem ovdje, (otvoren sam za sve prijedloge i prijekore), i spreman sam ga (uz event. izmjene) odmah spremiti. Navodim njegove prednosti:

• jednoobraznost (primijetih da svaka knjiga ima drukčiji početak, ovisno o suradniku, što je i inače problem svih neeciklopedijskih projekata, gdje postoji mnogo načina prikaza, za razliku od enciklopedije);
• detaljnost (smatram da sam sve obuhvatio, uglavnom više nego što je dosad);
• jednostavnost (lako se dodaje, samo se popune ove kućice);
• ne treba mnogo mijenjati, samo naslovnice wikiknjiga, kojih (čini mi se) ima tridesetak;
• smatram da estetski zadovoljava (čitak je, jasan, usudim se reći elegantan; koristio sam neutralne, pastelne boje kako je praksa na Wikipediji – ako vam se va plava ne sviđa, lako je zamijeniti, ali čini mi se da odgovara;) )
• ovako bi ovi virtualni moduli više sličili pravim knjigama (a naslovnica je često prvo što upada u oči).

Na drugim wikiknjigama ovakvog čega baš nema…

Nadam se brzom odgovoru (mislim da je naprikladnije glasanje) iako mi čitaonica ne izgleda baš često posjećena… --StjepanG 15:55, 5. studenog 2009. (CET)

Po meni bilo bi nekorektno neprihvatiti nove ideje, dakle samo navali i nemoj ništa izostaviti :-). Glasanje? Hm, to bi predugo trajalo sudeći po zainteresiranosti za ovaj projekt.--D tom 12:03, 6. studenog 2009. (CET)

Zahvaljujem! Meni dosta, pa se bacam na posao --StjepanG 16:20, 6. studenog 2009. (CET)

2010 Fundraising Is Almost Here

Hello Wikimedians, my name is Sam and I am working for the Wikimedia Foundation during the 2010 Fundraiser. My job is to be the liaison between the Croatian community and the Foundation. This year's fundraiser is intended to be a collaborative and global effort; we recognize that banner messages which may perform well in the United States don't necessarily translate well, or appeal to international audiences.

I am currently looking for translators who are willing to contribute to this project by helping translate and localize messages into Croatian and suggesting messages that would appeal to Croatian readers on the Fundraising Meta Page. We've started the setup on meta for both banner submission, statistical analysis, and grouping volunteers together.
Use the talk pages on meta, talk to your local communities, talk to others, talk to us, and add your feedback to the proposed messages as well! I look forward to working with you during this year's fundraiser. If someone could translate this message I would really appreciate it so that everyone is able to understand our goals and contribute to this year's campaign.

Call for image filter referendum

The Wikimedia Foundation, at the direction of the Board of Trustees, will be holding a vote to determine whether members of the community support the creation and usage of an opt-in personal image filter, which would allow readers to voluntarily screen particular types of images strictly for their own account.

Further details and educational materials will be available shortly. The referendum is scheduled for 12-27 August, 2011, and will be conducted on servers hosted by a neutral third party. Referendum details, officials, voting requirements, and supporting materials will be posted at Meta:Image filter referendum shortly.

Sorry for delivering you a message in English. Please help translate the pages on the referendum on Meta and join the translators mailing list.

Announcing Wikipedia 1.19 beta

Wikimedia Foundation is getting ready to push out 1.19 to all the WMF-hosted wikis. As we finish wrapping up our code review, you can test the new version right now on beta.wmflabs.org. For more information, please read the release notes or the start of the final announcement.

The following are the areas that you will probably be most interested in:

• Faster loading of javascript files makes dependency tracking more important.
• New common*.css files usable by skins instead of having to copy piles of generic styles from MonoBook or Vector's css.
• The default user signature now contains a talk link in addition to the user link.
• Searching blocked usernames in block log is now clearer.
• Better timezone recognition in user preferences.
• Improved diff readability for colorblind people.
• The interwiki links table can now be accessed also when the interwiki cache is used (used in the API and the Interwiki extension).
• More gender support (for instance in logs and user lists).
• Language converter improved, e.g. it now works depending on the page content language.
• Time and number-formatting magic words also now depend on the page content language.
• Bidirectional support further improved after 1.18.

Report any problems on the labs beta wiki and we'll work to address them before they software is released to the production wikis.

Note that this cluster does have SUL but it is not integrated with SUL in production, so you'll need to create another account. You should avoid using the same password as you use here. — Global message delivery 01:12, 15. siječnja 2012. (CET)

Update on IPv6

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it, as well as the full version of this announcement on Meta)

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to do limited testing of IPv6 on June 2-3. If there are not too many problems, we may fully enable IPv6 on World IPv6 day (June 6), and keep it enabled.

What this means for your project:

• At least on June 2-3, 2012, you may see a small number of edits from IPv6 addresses, which are in the form "2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334". See e.g. w:en:IPv6 address. These addresses should behave like any other IP address: You can leave messages on their talk pages; you can track their contributions; you can block them. (See the full version of this announcement for notes on range blocks.)

• In the mid term, some user scripts and tools will need to be adapted for IPv6.

• We suspect that IPv6 usage is going to be very low initially, meaning that abuse should be manageable, and we will assist in the monitoring of the situation.

Read the full version of this announcement on how to test the behavior of IPv6 with various tools and how to leave bug reports, and to find a fuller analysis of the implications of the IPv6 migration.

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2011 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We are interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year 2011. Any user registered at Commons or a Wikimedia wiki SUL-related to Commons with more than 75 edits before 1 April 2012 (UTC) is welcome to vote and, of course everyone is welcome to view!

Detailed information about the contest can be found at the introductory page.

About 600 of the best of Wikimedia Common's photos, animations, movies and graphics were chosen –by the international Wikimedia Commons community– out of 12 million files during 2011 and are now called Featured Pictures.

From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons Features Pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories.

We regret that you receive this message in English; we intended to use banners to notify you in your native language but there was both, human and technical resistance.

See you on Commons! --Picture of the Year 2011 Committee 20:20, 5. lipnja 2012. (CEST)

Mobile view as default view coming soon

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it, as well as the instructions on Meta)

The mobile view of this project and others will soon become the default view on mobile devices (except tablets). Some language versions of these projects currently show no content on the mobile home page, and it is a good time to do a little formatting so users get a mobile-friendly view, or to add to existing mobile content if some already exists.

If you are an administrator, please consider helping with this change. There are instructions which are being translated. The proposed date of switching the default view is July 5.

Help decide about more than $10 million of Wikimedia donations in the coming year

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it)

Hi,

As many of you are aware, the Wikimedia Board of Trustees recently initiated important changes in the way that money is being distributed within the Wikimedia movement. As part of this, a new community-led "Funds Dissemination Committee" (FDC) is currently being set up. Already in 2012-13, its recommendations will guide the decisions about the distribution of over 10 million US dollars among the Foundation, chapters and other eligible entities.

Now, seven capable, knowledgeable and trustworthy community members are sought to volunteer on the initial Funds Dissemination Committee. It is expected to take up its work in September. In addition, a community member is sought to be the Ombudsperson for the FDC process. If you are interested in joining the committee, read the call for volunteers. Nominations are planned to close on August 15.

Wikidata is getting close to a first roll-out

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.)

As some of you might already have heard Wikimedia Deutschland is working on a new Wikimedia project. It is called m:Wikidata. The goal of Wikidata is to become a central data repository for the Wikipedias, its sister projects and the world. In the future it will hold data like the number of inhabitants of a country, the date of birth of a famous person or the length of a river. These can then be used in all Wikimedia projects and outside of them.

The project is divided into three phases and "we are getting close to roll-out the first phase". The phases are:

1. language links in the Wikipedias (making it possible to store the links between the language editions of an article just once in Wikidata instead of in each linked article)
2. infoboxes (making it possible to store the data that is currently in infoboxes in one central place and share the data)
3. lists (making it possible to create lists and similar things based on queries to Wikidata so they update automatically when new data is added or modified)

It'd be great if you could join us, test the demo version, provide feedback and take part in the development of Wikidata. You can find all the relevant information including an FAQ and sign-up links for our on-wiki newsletter on the Wikidata page on Meta.

For further discussions please use this talk page (if you are uncomfortable writing in English you can also write in your native language there) or point me to the place where your discussion is happening so I can answer there.

Fundraising localization: volunteers from outside the USA needed

Please translate for your local community

Hello All,

The Wikimedia Foundation's Fundraising team have begun our 'User Experience' project, with the goal of understanding the donation experience in different countries outside the USA and enhancing the localization of our donation pages. I am searching for volunteers to spend 30 minutes on a Skype chat with me, reviewing their own country's donation pages. It will be done on a 'usability' format (I will ask you to read the text and go through the donation flow) and will be asking your feedback in the meanwhile.

The only pre-requisite is for the volunteer to actually live in the country and to have access to at least one donation method that we offer for that country (mainly credit/debit card, but also real-time banking like IDEAL, E-wallets, etc...) so we can do a live test and see if the donation goes through. All volunteers will be reimbursed of the donations that eventually succeed (and they will be low amounts, like 1-2 dollars)

By helping us you are actually helping thousands of people to support our mission of free knowledge across the world.

Be a Wikimedia fundraising "User Experience" volunteer!

Thank you to everyone who volunteered last year on the Wikimedia fundraising 'User Experience' project. We have talked to many different people in different countries and their feedback has helped us immensely in restructuring our pages. If you haven't heard of it yet, the 'User Experience' project has the goal of understanding the donation experience in different countries (outside the USA) and enhancing the localization of our donation pages.

I am (still) searching for volunteers to spend some time on a Skype chat with me, reviewing their own country's donation pages. It will be done on a 'usability' format (I will ask you to read the text and go through the donation flow) and will be asking your feedback in the meanwhile.

The only pre-requisite is for the volunteer to actually live in the country and to have access to at least one donation method that we offer for that country (mainly credit/debit card, but also real time banking like IDEAL, E-wallets, etc...) so we can do a live test and see if the donation goes through. **All volunteers will be reimbursed of the donations that eventually succeed (and they will be very low amounts, like 1-2 dollars)**

By helping us you are actually helping thousands of people to support our mission of free knowledge across the world. If you are interested (or know of anyone who could be) please email ppena@wikimedia.org. All countries needed (excepting USA)!!

Thanks!

Wikimedia sites to move to primary data center in Ashburn, Virginia. Read-only mode expected.

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.) Next week, the Wikimedia Foundation will transition its main technical operations to a new data center in Ashburn, Virginia, USA. This is intended to improve the technical performance and reliability of all Wikimedia sites, including this wiki. There will be some times when the site will be in read-only mode, and there may be full outages; the current target windows for the migration are January 22nd, 23rd and 24th, 2013, from 17:00 to 01:00 UTC (see other timezones on timeanddate.com). More information is available in the full announcement.

If you would like to stay informed of future technical upgrades, consider becoming a Tech ambassador and joining the ambassadors mailing list. You will be able to help your fellow Wikimedians have a voice in technical discussions and be notified of important decisions.

Thank you for your help and your understanding.

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons.

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Convert complex templates to Lua to make them faster and more powerful

(Please consider translating this message for the benefit of your fellow Wikimedians)

Greetings. As you might have seen on the Wikimedia tech blog or the tech ambassadors list, a new functionality called "Lua" is being enabled on all Wikimedia sites today. Lua is a scripting language that enables you to write faster and more powerful MediaWiki templates.

If you have questions about how to convert existing templates to Lua (or how to create new ones), we'll be holding two support sessions on IRC next week: one on Wednesday (for Oceania, Asia & America) and one on Friday (for Europe, Africa & America); see m:IRC office hours for the details. If you can't make it, you can also get help at mw:Talk:Lua scripting.

If you'd like to learn about this kind of events earlier in advance, consider becoming a Tech ambassador by subscribing to the mailing list. You will also be able to help your fellow Wikimedians have a voice in technical discussions and be notified of important decisions.

Pozdrav!

Ovo je zahtjev za komentiranjem na Meta-wikiju za uklanjanje administratorskih prava dugoročno neaktivnim Wikimedijcima. Općenito, ovaj prijedlog stjuarda bi se primjenjivao na wikije bez administratorske procese revizije.

Mi također tražimo i komentare za listu projekata sa procedurama za uklanjanja neaktivnih administratora na stranici za razgovor. Slobodno ostavite vaš projekt ako imate politiku za neaktivne administratore.

Svi komentari su dobrodošli. Rasprava će se završiti 21. svibnja 2013 ali se može produžiti po potrebi.

Hvala, Billinghurst (thanks to all the translators!) 06:45, 24. travnja 2013. (CEST)

[en] Change to wiki account system and account renaming

Some accounts will soon be renamed due to a technical change that the developer team at Wikimedia are making. More details on Meta.

[en] Change to section edit links

The default position of the "edit" link in page section headers is going to change soon. The "edit" link will be positioned adjacent to the page header text rather than floating opposite it.

Section edit links will be to the immediate right of section titles, instead of on the far right. If you're an editor of one of the wikis which already implemented this change, nothing will substantially change for you; however, scripts and gadgets depending on the previous implementation of section edit links will have to be adjusted to continue working; however, nothing else should break even if they are not updated in time.

Detailed information and a timeline is available on meta.

Ideas to do this all the way to 2009 at least. It is often difficult to track which of several potential section edit links on the far right is associated with the correct section, and many readers and anonymous or new editors may even be failing to notice section edit links at all, since they read section titles, which are far away from the links.
