Per favore, no atenta coreti un paje cual es clar noncompleta! La traduor es probable no fini con sua tradui.

Nomes de sites[edita la fonte]

Nos ia discute multe la modo per scrive la nomes de sites (e vilas, etc), e un acorda ia es atenida. Ma me no gusta la sistem nova! Vera, me debe es colpada. Me ia oblida ce la regulas per sites es multe, multe simple e coerente: Scrive los como los es scriveda en la lingua ofisial de la site. Esta es fasil descovreda par, per esemplo, regarda lo a la wikipedia engles (o otras), cual normal lista los. Esta aplica sola a linguas scriveda en la alfabeta latina. E on pote cade diacritos e cambia leteras cual no es en la 26 leteras comun. On no cambia la nomes, estra ce on vole ajunta un esplica de la pronunsia usante la 22 leteras de elefen o en la alfabeta de la AFI (IPA). Nomes de linguas cual usa otra alfabetas es transcrive en la modo ofisial o plu comun per cada lingua (pe, pinyin per xines, romanji per japanes, etc).

Cuando me ia atenta "coreti" la lista de sites a nosa vicipedia, me encontra nunca ma problemes, pe nomes cual deveni nonreconosable, la usa de ch en linguas cual no pronunsia lo como tx, etc. Per favore, iniora la ideas cual nos ia discute resente, e spele la nomes de sites como la sites scrive los!

On debe es atendante per alga cambias de formas de elefen plu temprana:

La ajunta de "lo" per cosas, e la restrinje de "el" per umanas, alga animales, robotes, etc, pd cosas con alga "personalia";

La usa de "lo" ante verbos cual ave no sujeto esata, pe "lo es vera ce tempo vola" e "lo pluva";

Simil, on usa "on ave" per engles "there are", pe "on ave multe pexes en la lago";

La introdui de "ca" per "than" (en loca de "ce"), pe "el es plu grande ca sua padre";

La usa de "cual" como det. e pronom per "what, which", e la restrinje de "ci" per un pronom per "who, whom";

Ce es usada sola como un sujunta simil a la engles "that" (ma no per "acel"!);

La sufisa "-os" deveni "-osa";

La ajunta de "sua" per la det. de posese, e la restrinje de "se" per la pronom refletante per person tre;

La ajunta de un -a per determinantes de posese:

me -> mea

tu -> tua
vos -> vosa
se -> sua

Un cambia multe temprana: no usa -r per indica infinitivas!

E nota: "elefen", "lfn", e "lingua franca nova" es la nomes egal ofisial de la lingua! Sustituis no es nesesada. Ma "creol" e "europijin" es no plu usada.

Proposal: Set two-letter project shortcuts as alias to project namespace globally[edita la fonte]

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, Vicipedia 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,

Hello all,

I am pleased to share the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct work. The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) draft charter is now ready for your review.

The Enforcement Guidelines require a Building Committee form to draft a charter that outlines procedures and details for a global committee to be called the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). Over the past few months, the U4C Building Committee worked together as a group to discuss and draft the U4C charter. The U4C Building Committee welcomes feedback about the draft charter now through 22 September 2023. After that date, the U4C Building Committee will revise the charter as needed and a community vote will open shortly afterward.

Join the conversation during the conversation hours or on Meta-wiki.

Dear Wiki Community,

You are humbly invited to organize the Feminism and Folklore 2024 writing competition from February 1, 2023, to March 31, 2023 on your local Wikipedia. This year, Feminism and Folklore will focus on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics for the project, with a Wiki Loves Folklore gender gap focus and a folk culture theme on Wikipedia.

You can help Wikipedia's coverage of folklore from your area by writing or improving articles about things like folk festivals, folk dances, folk music, women and queer folklore figures, folk game athletes, women in mythology, women warriors in folklore, witches and witch hunting, fairy tales, and more. Users can help create new articles, expand or translate from a generated list of suggested articles.

Organisers are requested to work on the following action items to sign up their communities for the project:

  1. Create a page for the contest on the local wiki.
  2. Set up a campaign on CampWiz tool.
  3. Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes.
  4. Request local admins for site notice.
  5. Link the local page and the CampWiz link on the meta project page.

This year, the Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced two new tools to enhance support for the campaign. These tools include the Article List Generator by Topic and CampWiz. The Article List Generator by Topic enables users to identify articles on the English Wikipedia that are not present in their native language Wikipedia. Users can customize their selection criteria, and the tool will present a table showcasing the missing articles along with suggested titles. Additionally, users have the option to download the list in both CSV and wikitable formats. Notably, the CampWiz tool will be employed for the project for the first time, empowering users to effectively host the project with a jury. Both tools are now available for use in the campaign. Click here to access these tools

Learn more about the contest and prizes on our project page. Feel free to contact us on our meta talk page or by email us if you need any assistance.

We look forward to your immense coordination.

Hello all,

I am writing to you today with two important pieces of information. First, the report of the comments from the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) Charter ratification is now available. Secondly, the call for candidates for the U4C is open now through April 1, 2024.

The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) is a global group dedicated to providing an equitable and consistent implementation of the UCoC. Community members are invited to submit their applications for the U4C. For more information and the responsibilities of the U4C, please review the U4C Charter.

Per the charter, there are 16 seats on the U4C: eight community-at-large seats and eight regional seats to ensure the U4C represents the diversity of the movement.

Read more and submit your application on Meta-wiki.

On behalf of the UCoC project team,

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection[edita la fonte]

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

Dear all,

This year, the term of 4 (four) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.

The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Board Governance Committee created a Board Selection Working Group from Trustees who cannot be candidates in the 2024 community- and affiliate-selected trustee selection process composed of Dariusz Jemielniak, Nataliia Tymkiv, Esra'a Al Shafei, Kathy Collins, and Shani Evenstein Sigalov [3]. The group is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2024 trustee selection process, and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].

Here are the key planned dates:

  • May 2024: Call for candidates and call for questions
  • June 2024: Affiliates vote to shortlist 12 candidates (no shortlisting if 15 or less candidates apply) [5]
  • June-August 2024: Campaign period
  • End of August / beginning of September 2024: Two-week community voting period
  • October–November 2024: Background check of selected candidates
  • Board's Meeting in December 2024: New trustees seated

Learn more about the 2024 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page, and make your plan.

Election Volunteers

Another way to be involved with the 2024 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page.

Best regards,

Dariusz Jemielniak (Governance Committee Chair, Board Selection Working Group)

[5] Even though the ideal number is 12 candidates for 4 open seats, the shortlisting process will be triggered if there are more than 15 candidates because the 1-3 candidates that are removed might feel ostracized and it would be a lot of work for affiliates to carry out the shortlisting process to only eliminate 1-3 candidates from the candidate list.
