ಅರಳಿ ಕಟ್ಟೆಗೆ ಸ್ವಾಗತ. ಇದು ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಕಿಸೋರ್ಸ್ ಕಾರ್ಯನೀತಿಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ, ತಾಂತ್ರಿಕ ದೋಷಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ, ಹಾಗೂ ಕೆಲಸ ಕಾರ್ಯಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಚರ್ಚಿಸಲು ಮೀಸಲಾಗಿರುವ ಪುಟ. ಗಮನಿಸಿ:: ನಿಮ್ಮ ಸಲಹೆ ಚರ್ಚೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯಗಳು ಯಾವುದೇ ಪುಟ ಅಥವ ಟೆಂಪ್ಲೇಟಿಗೆ ಸಂಬಂಧಪಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಲ್ಲಿ ಆಯಾ ಪುಟದ ಚರ್ಚೆ ಪುಟವನ್ನು ಬಳಸಿ. ಹೊಸ ಸದಸ್ಯರ ಗಮನಕ್ಕೆ: ಸಾಧ್ಯವಾದಷ್ಟೂ ಲೇಖನಗಳಿಗೆ ಸಂಬಂಧಪಟ್ಟ ಚರ್ಚೆಗಳನ್ನು ಆಯಾ ಲೇಖನದ ಚರ್ಚೆ ಪುಟಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸೇರಿಸಿ. ವಿಶೇಷ ಪುಟಗಳನ್ನು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಾದಷ್ಟೂ ಬಳಸಿ, ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಕಿಸೋರ್ ಐ.ಆರ್.ಸಿ #wikipedia-kn ಸಂಪರ್ಕ ಸಾಧಿಸಿ ಚಾನಲ್ ಮುಖಾಂತರ ಸಂಪರ್ಕ ಸಾಧಿಸಬಹುದು.

ಸೈಟ್ ನೋಟೀಸ್

ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಕಿಸೋರ್ಸ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾರೂ ನಿರ್ವಾಹಕರಿಲ್ಲದ ಕಾರಣ ಶಿವಮೊಗ್ಗ ಸಂಪಾದನೆಯ ಸೈಟ್‌ನೋಟೀಸನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದುಹಾಕಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಾಗುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ನಾನು ಅದನ್ನು ತೆಗೆದುಹಾಕಲು ಸ್ಟೀವರ್ಡ್‌ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮನವಿ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಮನವಿಗೆ ಈ ಪುಟ ನೋಡಿ. --ಗೋಪಾಲಕೃಷ್ಣ (ಚರ್ಚೆ) ೦೮:೦೯, ೯ ಜನವರಿ ೨೦೧೮ (UTC)

ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಪರಿಷತ್ತಿನ ಪುಸ್ತಕಗಳನ್ನು ಸೇರಿಸುವುದು

ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಪರಿಷತ್ತು ಹಲವು ಹಳೆಯ ಪುಸ್ತಕಗಳನ್ನು ಮುಕ್ತಜ್ಞಾನದ ಅಡಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪಿಡಿಎಫ್ ಮಾದರಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಓದಲು ಅವಕಾಶ ಮಾಡಿ ಕೊಡುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಈ ಪುಸ್ತಕಗಳನ್ನು ಕಾಮನ್ಸ್‌ಗೆ ಸೇರಿಸಿ ನಂತರ ವಿಕಿಸೋರ್ಸ್‌ಗೆ ಸೇರಿಸಬಹುದು. ಸಮುದಾಯದವರಾದ ನಾವೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಈ ಕೆಲಸದಲ್ಲಿ ಕೈಜೋಡಿಸಬೇಕಾಗಿ ವಿನಂತಿ. ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ ಪರಿಷತ್ತಿನ ಭೇಟಿ ಅಗತ್ಯ. ಪರಿಷತ್ತಿನ ಭೇಟಿಗೆ ಹಿರಿಯ ಸಮುದಾಯ ಸದಸ್ಯರ ಸಹಾಯ ಕೋರುತ್ತೇನೆ. --ಗೋಪಾಲಕೃಷ್ಣ (ಚರ್ಚೆ) ೦೫:೨೫, ೧೭ ಜನವರಿ ೨೦೧೮ (UTC)

ವಿಕಿಸೋರ್ಸ್‌ಗೆ ನಿರ್ವಾಹಕರುಗಳ ಅಗತ್ಯ

ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಕಿಸೋರ್ಸ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ನಿರ್ವಾಹಕರುಗಳ ಅಗತ್ಯ ಇದೆ. ಈ ಹಿಂದೆ Pavanaja (talk • edits • logs • CentralAuth) ಮತ್ತು Anoop Rao (talk • edits • logs • CentralAuth) ತಾತ್ಕಾಲಿಕವಾಗಿ ನಿರ್ವಾಹಕರಾಗಿದ್ದರು. ಇವರ ನಿರ್ವಾಗಕರ ಅವಧಿ ಮುಗಿದಿದೆ. ಸದ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ವಿಕಿಸೋರ್ಸ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾವುದೇ ನಿರ್ವಾಹಕರಿಲ್ಲ. ಹೀಗಾಗಿ ಪವನಜ ಮತ್ತು ಅನೂಪ್ ರಾವ್ ಅವರಲ್ಲಿ ಪೂರ್ಣ ಸಮಯದದ ನಿರ್ವಾಹಕರಾಗಿ ಭಡ್ತಿ ಪಡೆಯಲು ತಮ್ಮ ಉಮೇದುವಾರಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ಸಲ್ಲಿಸಬೇಕಾಗಿ ವಿನಂತಿ. ಅಥವಾ ಇತರ ಯಾವುದಾದರೂ ಅನುಭವಿ ಸದಸ್ಯರಿಗೆ ಆಸಕ್ತಿ ಇದ್ದಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ವಯಂ ಆಗಿ ಮುಂದೆ ಬಂದು ಉಮೇದುವಾರಿಕೆ ಸಲ್ಲಿಬೇಕಾಗಿ ವಿನಂತಿ. --ಗೋಪಾಲಕೃಷ್ಣ (ಚರ್ಚೆ) ೧೦:೩೯, ೧೭ ಜನವರಿ ೨೦೧೮ (UTC)

ವಿಕಿಸೋರ್ಸ್‌ಗೆ ಬೇಕಾದ ಗ್ಯಾಜೆಟ್‌ಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ

ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಕಿಸೋರ್ಸ್‌ಗೆ ಕೆಲವು ಮುಖ್ಯ ಗ್ಯಾಜೆಟ್‌ಗಳ ಅವಶ್ಯಕತೆ ಇದೆ. ಅವುಗಳನ್ನು ಇಂಪೋರ್ಟ್ ಮಾಡಬೇಕೆಂದು ಅಡ್ಮಿನ್‌ಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ವಿನಂತಿ. --ಗೋಪಾಲಕೃಷ್ಣ (ಚರ್ಚೆ) ೧೦:೪೩, ೧೧ ಫೆಬ್ರುವರಿ ೨೦೧೮ (UTC)

'ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮನ ಕಗ್ಗ'ದ ಹಕ್ಕುಸ್ವಾಮ್ಯದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ

ಕಗ್ಗವು ಹಕ್ಕುಸ್ವಾಮ್ಯವುಳ್ಳ ಕೃತಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದು ಅದು ವಿಕಿಸೋರ್ಸಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಹಾಕುವುದು ತಪ್ಪಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಹಕ್ಕುಸ್ವಾಮ್ಯ ಉಲ್ಲಂಘನೆಯಾಗುತ್ತದೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕಾನೂನುಕ್ರಮ ಎದುರಿಸಬೇಕಾಗಬಹುದು. ಅದೂ ಅಲ್ಲದೇ ಬೇರೊಬ್ಬ ಲೇಖಕರು ಬರೆದ ಅರ್ಥ ವಿವರಣೆ ಸಮೇತ ಹಾಕಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಆ ಲೇಖಕರ ಅನುಮತಿ ಪಡೆದುಕೊಂಡ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಮಾಹಿತಿಯೂ ಇಲ್ಲ. ಇದು ಒಟ್ಟಾರೆ ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯಾ ಹಾಗೂ ವಿಕಿಯೋಜನೆಗಳ ವಿಶ್ವಾಸಾರ್ಹತೆಗೆ ಧಕ್ಕೆತರಬಲ್ಲ ಸಂಗತಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದು ತತಕ್ಷಣ ಕ್ರಮ ಕೈಗೊಳ್ಳಬೇಕಿದೆ. ನಿರ್ವಾಹಕರು ಈ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಗಮನಹರಿಸಲು ಕೋರಿಕೆ.--Vikashegde (ಚರ್ಚೆ) ೧೪:೫೦, ೧ ಮಾರ್ಚ್ ೨೦೧೮ (UTC)

Addition of knWS to global bots

Above I have added a bot request, as this wiki is not within the global bot project, per list m:Special:WikiSets/2. Would the community consider opting in to the global bots, so that when we have Wikisource-wide fixes for mw:Extension:ProofreadPage that is possible to organise the bots to do the jobs within Phabricator, and simply get the fix in place.

Words hyphenated across pages in Wikisource are now joined

Hi, this is a message by Can da Lua as discussed here for wikisource communities

The ProofreadPage extension can now join together a word that is split between a page and the next.

In the past, when a page was ending with "concat-" and the next page was beginning with "enation", the resulting transclusion would have been "concat- enation", and a special template like d:Q15630535 had to be used to obtain the word "concatenation".

Now the default behavior has changed: the hyphen at the end of a page is suppressed and in this case no space is inserted, so the result of the transclusion will be: "concatenation", without the need of a template. The "joiner" character is defined by default as "-" (the regular hyphen), but it is possible to change this. A template may still be needed to deal with particular cases when the hyphen needs to be preserved.

Please share this information with your community.

Selection of the Wikisource Community User Group representative to the Wikimedia Summit

Dear all,

Sorry for writing in English and cross-posting this message.

The Wikisource Community User Group could send one representative to the Wikimedia Summit 2019 (formerly "Wikimedia Conference"). The Wikimedia Summit is a yearly conference of all organizations affiliated to the Wikimedia Movement (including our Wikisource Community User Group). It is a great place to talk about Wikisource needs to the chapters and other user groups that compose the Wikimedia movement. For context, there is a short report on what happened last year. The deadline is short and to avoid the confusing vote on the Wikisource-I mailing list of last year, we created a page on meta to decide who will be the representative of the user group to the Wikimedia Summit.

The vote will be in two parts:

1. until December 7th, people can add their name and a short explanation on who they are and why they want to go to the summit. Nomination of other people is allowed, the nominated person should accept their nomination.
2. starting December 7th, and for a week, the community vote to designate the representative.

Please feel free to ask any question on the wikisource-I mailing list or on the talk page.

For the Wikisource Community User Group, Tpt (talk) 15:15, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

ಗಮನಿಸಿ: ಆ ಪುಟದಲ್ಲಿ ಇದ್ದ ಕೆಳಗಿನ ಪದ್ಧತಿಯನ್ನ ಬಳಸಿಕೊಂಡೆ.

In these cases, you should add a {{header}} template at the top of the page and also add the parameter edition = yes. On the talk page (marked "Discussion" at the top of the page) add the {{textinfo}} and {{second-hand}} templates. Fill in all of the information possible, especially including a link to the source in the textinfo template.

If manually copying text from a physical book, for example a library book that you cannot scan, the process is similar. Use {{header}} on the main page with the text; use just the {{textinfo}} template on the talk page. If possible, in the textinfo template, add a note to explain the situation to readers and allow other users to check and proofread the book.

ಇದರ ಅನ್ವಯ, ಆದಷ್ಟು ಮಾಹಿತಿ ಇಟ್ಟು ಇದನ್ನ ಮಾಡಿದೆ. ಎಲ್ಲಾ ವಚನಗಳನ್ನ ವರ್ಗಗಳ ಮೂಲಕ, ಇಂಡೆಕ್ಸ್ ಪುಟ, ..ಹೀಗೆ ಹುಡುಕಲು ಅನುಕೂಲ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡೆ. ಇಲ್ಲಿಯವರೆಗೆ ೬ ಮಂದಿ, ಇದು ಓದಲು ಅನುಕೂಲ ಆಯ್ತು ಎಂದು ತಿಳಿಸಿದ್ದರು. ಖುಷಿಯಾಗಿ ಇನ್ನೂ ಹದಿಬದೆಯ ಧರ್ಮ, ಸಿದ್ಧಾಂತ ಶಿಖಾಮಣಿ, ಬಸವಪ್ಪ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಿ ಗಳ ಕೃತಿಗಳು ಮತ್ತು (ನನ್ನ ನೆಚ್ಚಿನ) ಹರೀಶ್ಚಂದ್ರ ಕಾವ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಗಿರಿಜಾ ಕಲ್ಯಾಣ ಗಳನ್ನ ಟೈಪಿಸುತ್ತಾ ಇದ್ದೇನೆ.

ಇಷ್ಟು ಹೇಳಬಲ್ಲೆ choosing between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law... ಕನ್ನಡ ವೈಕಿಸೋರ್ಸ್ ನಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ಕಾನ್ ಮಾಡದ ಪುಸ್ತಕಕ್ಕೆ ಅವಕಾಶ ಇಲ್ಲ ಎಂದು ಖಡಾಖಂಡಿತವಾಗಿ ನಿಯಮವನ್ನ ಪಾಲನೆ ಮಾಡುವುದು ಸರಿ ಎಂದು ಸಮುದಾಯದ ನಿರ್ಧಾರವಾದರೆ, ಒಂದು ಸರ್ವೇ ಅಥವಾ ಮೀಟಿಂಗ್ ಅಥವಾ ಸರಿಕಂಡ ಒಂದು ಪ್ರಕ್ರಿಯೆ ರಚಿಸಿ, ಸಮುದಾಯದ ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯ ಪಡೆಯಿರಿ. ಇರಕೂಡದು ಎಂದು ಮೂಡಿದರೆ, ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಸರಿ.
ಆಗಮ ಆಕರಗಳು ಇಲ್ಲದ ತಬ್ಬಲಿಗಳು ಮುದ್ತ್ರಣ ಮಾಧ್ಯಮದ ಹಿಡಿತದಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ಉಳಿಯುತ್ತವೆ.
ಅದು ಸರಿಯೇ? ನಮ್ಮ ಕಾಲಮಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಹರಡಲು ಅನುಕೂಲ ಇದ್ದಾಗ, ಬಳಸಲಾರದೆಯೇ ಹೋಗುವುದೆ ಉಚಿತವೇ?

ತಮ್ಮ ಆಸಕ್ತಿ, ಗಮನ ಮತ್ತು ಅಭಿಪ್ತ್ರಾಯಕ್ಕೆ ಕಿಂಚಿತ್ತೂ ಕಹಿಭಾವನೆ ಇಲ್ಲದೆ, ನಮ್ರತೆಯಿಂದ ನಮನಗಳು. Smjalageri (ಚರ್ಚೆ) ೧೩:೪೫, ೧೮ ಅಕ್ಟೋಬರ್ ೨೦೧೯ (UTC)

Wikimedia Movement Strategy: 2020 Community Conversations

Dear Wikimedians,

Greetings! Wishing you a very happy new year!

We have an update for the next steps of the Movement Strategy! We're preparing for a final round of community conversations with Wikimedia affiliates and online communities around a synthesized set of draft recommendations to start around late/mid January. In the meantime, recommendations’ writers and strategy team has been working on integrating community ideas and feedback into these recommendations. Thank you, for all of your contributions!

What's New?

The recommendations writers have been working to consolidate the 89 recommendations produced by the working groups. They met in Berlin a few weeks back for an in-person session to produce a synthesized recommendations document which will be shared for public comment around late/mid January. A number of common areas for change were reflected in the recommendations, and the writers assessed and clustered them around these areas. The goal was to outline the overall direction of the change and present one set that is clearly understood, implementable and demonstrates the reasoning behind each.

What's Next?

We will be reaching out to you to help engage your affiliate in discussing this new synthesized version. Your input in helping us refine and advance key ideas will be invaluable, and we are looking forward to engaging with you for a period of thirty days from late/mid January. Our final consultation round is to give communities a chance to "review and discuss" the draft recommendations, highlighting areas of support and concern as well as indicating how your community would be affected.

Please share ideas on how you would like to meet and discuss the final draft recommendations when they are released near Mid January whether through your strategy salons, joining us at global and regional events, joining online conversations, or sending in notes from affiliate discussions. We couldn't do this without you, and hope that you will enjoy seeing your input reflected in the next draft and final recommendations. This will be an opportunity for the movement to review and respond to the recommendations before they are finalized.

If possible, we'd love if you could feature a discussion of the draft recommendations at the next in-person meeting of your affiliate, ideally between the last week of January and the first week of February. If not, please let us know how we can help support you with online conversations and discussing how the draft recommendations fit with the ideas shared at your strategy salon (when applicable).

The input communities have shared so far has been carefully documented, analyzed, and folded into the synthesized draft recommendations. Communities will be able to see footnotes referencing community ideas. What they share again in January/February will be given the same care, seriousness, and transparency.

This final round of community feedback will be presented to the Board of Trustees alongside the final recommendations that will be shared at the Wikimedia Summit.

Wikimedia 2030: Movement Strategy Community conversations are here!

Dear Affiliate Representatives and community members,

The launch of our final round of community conversation is finally here! We are excited to have the opportunity to invite you to take part. 
The recommendations have been published! Please take time over the next five weeks to review and help us understand how your organization and community would be impacted.

What Does This Mean?

The core recommendations document has now been published on Meta in Arabic, English, French, German, Hindi, Portuguese, and Spanish. This is the result of more than a year of dedicated work by our working groups, and we are pleased to share the evolution of their work for your final consideration. 
In addition to the recommendations text, you can read through key documents such as Principles, Process, and the Writer’s Reflections, which lend important context to this work and highlight the ways that the recommendations are conceptually interlinked.
We also have a brief Narrative of Change [5] which offers a summary introduction to the recommendations material. 

How Is My Input Reflected In This Work?

Community input played an important role in the drafting of these recommendations. The core recommendations document reflects this and cites community input throughout in footnotes. I also encourage you to take a look at our community input summaries. These texts show a further analysis of how all of the ideas you shared last year through online conversations, affiliate meetings, and strategy salons connect to recommendations. Many of the community notes and reports not footnoted in the core recommendations document are referenced here as evidence of the incredible convergence of ideas that have brought us this far.  

What Happens Now?

Affiliates, online communities, and other stakeholders have the next five weeks to discuss and share feedback on these recommendations. In particular, we’re hoping to better understand how you think they would impact our movement - what benefits and opportunities do you foresee for your affiliate, and why? What challenges or barriers would they pose for you? Your input at this stage is vital, and we’d like to warmly invite you to participate in this final discussion period.

We encourage volunteer discussion co-ordinators for facilitating these discussions in your local language community on-wiki, on social media, informal or formal meet ups, on-hangouts, IRC or the village pump of your project. Please collect a report from these channels or conversations and connect with me directly so that I can be sure your input is collected and used. Alternatively, you can also post the feedback on the meta talk pages of the respective recommendations.

After this five week period, the Core Team will publish a summary report of input from across affiliates, online communities, and other stakeholders for public review before the recommendations are finalized. You can view our updated timeline here as well as an updated FAQ section that addresses topics like the goal of this current period, the various components of the draft recommendations, and what’s next in more detail. 
Thank you again for taking the time to join us in community conversations, and we look forward to receiving your input. (Please help us by translating this message into your local language). Happy reading! RSharma (WMF) MediaWiki message delivery (ಚರ್ಚೆ) ೨೧:೩೧, ೨೦ ಜನವರಿ ೨೦೨೦ (UTC)

The 2030 movement strategy recommendations are here!

Greetings! We are pleased to inform that the 2030 movement strategy recommendations have been published on Meta-wiki. Over the last two years, our movement has worked tirelessly to produce these ideas to change our shared future. Many of you participated in the online conversations, hosted strategy salons, attended regional events, and connected with us in-person at Wikimania. These contributions were invaluable, and will help make our movement stronger for years to come. 

The finished set of 10 recommendations emphasizes many of our core values, such as equity, innovation, safety, and coordination, while tasking us jointly to turn this vision into a reality. These recommendations clarify and refine the previous version, which was published in January this year. They are at a high strategic level so that the ideas are flexible enough to be adapted to different global and local settings and will allow us to navigate future challenges. Along with the recommendations, we have outlined 10 underlying principles, a narrative of change, and a glossary of key terms for better context.

The recommendations are available in numerous languages, including Arabic, German, Hindi, English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish for you to read and share widely. We encourage you to read the recommendations in your own time and at your own pace, either online or in a PDF. There are a couple of other formats for you to take a deeper dive if you wish, such as a one-page summary, slides, and office hours, all collected on Meta. If you would like to comment, you are welcome to do so on the Meta talk pages. However, please note that these are the final version of the recommendations. No further edits will be made. This final version of the recommendations embodies an aspiration for how the Wikimedia movement should continue to change in order to advance that direction and meet the Wikimedia vision in a changing world. 

In terms of next steps, our focus now shifts toward implementation. In light of the cancellation of the Wikimedia Summit, the Wikimedia Foundation is determining the best steps for moving forward through a series of virtual events over the coming months. We will also be hosting live office hours in the next coming few days, where you can join us to celebrate the Strategy and ask questions! Please stay tuned, and thank you once again for helping to drive our movement forward, together. RSharma (WMF)

Firstly, to give you context, Small wiki toolkits (SWT) is an initiative to support small wiki communities, to learn and share technical and semi-technical skills to support, maintain, and grow. We are happy to inform you that the SWT group has planned a series of four online workshops for Indic Wikimedia community members during June & July 2020. These workshops have been specifically designed and curated for Indic communities, based on a survey conducted early this year. The four workshops planned in this regard are;

• Understanding the technical challenges of Indic language wikis (by Birgit): Brainstorming about technical challenges faced by contributors to Indic language Wikimedia projects.
• Writing user scripts & gadgets (by Jayprakash12345): Basics to intermediate-level training on writing user scripts (Javascript and jQuery fundamentals are prerequisites).
• Using project management & bug reporting tool Phabricator (by Andre): Introduction to Phabricator, a tool used for project management and software bug reporting.
• Writing Wikidata queries (by Mahir256): Introduction to the Wikidata Query Service, from writing simple queries to constructing complex visualizations of structured data.

For the first project, the team will focus on the #1 wish: improve ebook exports. We have created a project page, which includes an analysis of the ebook export process. We now invite everyone to visit the page and share their feedback on the project talk page. Please let us know what you think of our analysis; we want to hear from all of you! Furthermore, we hope that you will participate in the other Wikisource improvement projects, which we’ll address in the future. Thank you in advance and we look forward to reading your feedback on the ebook export improvement talk page!

Feedback requested: Ebook Export Improvement Project

Note: This message is in English, but we encourage translation into other languages. Thank you!

Hello, everyone!

I am pleased to announce that the Community Tech team at WMF has posted our August update on the Wikisource Ebook Export Improvement project! This project came out of our 2020 Community Wishlist Survey, and it was the #1 wish voted on by survey participants.

So, what does this mean? In short, we want your feedback! Now that we have posted the August update, we want to know what you think. The update includes findings from our community consultation, results from two separate analyses conducted by the team (on improving WSExport reliability & font rendering support), and proposed next steps. It is our hope that people can read our analysis, share their feedback, and engage in a conversation with us on the talk page. Your feedback will be invaluable, and it will help determine the next steps of the project.

Thank you to everyone who has participated in the consultation so far! It's been a joy to explore how we can improve the ebook export experience. Now, we look forward to reading a new round of feedback on the project talk page!

Wikisource Pagelist Widget: Ready to be enabled

Note: This message is in English, but we encourage translation into other languages. Thank you!

Hello everyone,

We are excited to announce that the Wikisource Pagelist widget is now available to be enabled on all Wikisources. Any interface admin on your wiki can enable it by using the instructions on the following page:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ProofreadPage/Pagelist_widget

In case, your wiki doesn’t have an interface admin, reach out to us on the ‘Help with enabling the widget on your wiki’ section of the project talk page and we will connect you with a global interface admin:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikisource_Pagelist_Widget#Help_with_enabling_the_widget_on_your_wiki

You will need to hold a local discussion around what would be the labels for different page types in your language for the visual mode. (For example, ToC = ਤਤਕਰਾ in Punjabi, title = শিরোনাম in Bengali)

Feel free to also give us any feedback on the project talk page on Meta-Wiki as well.

Wikisource Pagelist Widget: Wikisource Meetup (29th September 2020)

Hello everyone,

We hope you are doing well!

We reached out to you a couple of weeks ago to share that Wikisource Pagelist Widget is now ready to be enabled to Wikisource. Since then, many language Wikisources have enabled the widget but many are yet to do so.

So, we have decided to organize a Wikisource Meetup to give a live demonstration on how to use the widget in both wikitext and visual modes. There will be some time for the participants to share their feedback and experience with the widget. We will also provide support in case some Wikisource communities are seeking help in enabling the widget.

The meetup will take place on 29 September 2020 at 9:30 AM UTC or 3 PM IST. Google Meet link for the meeting is: http://meet.google.com/khu-dfph-qsd

Looking forward to seeing the global Wikisource community connect amid these difficult times when physical meetings have not been taking place.

P.S. If you are planning to attend this meetup and are comfortable in sharing your email address then send us your confirmation in the form of a small email to sgill@wikimedia.org, this will help us in getting a sense of the number of people that are planning to show-up. We are aware that this time-zone is not convenient for everyone and more meetups can be organized in the future.

Regards

Regional Call for South Asia - Oct. 30

Hi everyone. The time has come to put Movement Strategy into work and we need your help. We are inviting South Asian communities, Indian Wikimedians, and anyone else interested to join a region-focused conversation on Movement Strategy and implementation. Please join us on Friday Oct. 30 at 19.30 / 7:30 pm IST (Google Meet).

The purpose of the meeting is to get prepared for global conversations, to identify priorities for implementation in 2021, and to plan the following steps. There are 10 recommendations and they propose multiple 45 initiatives written over two years by many Wikimedians. It is now up to communities to decide which ones we should work on together in 2021, starting with local and regional conversations. Global meetings will take place later in November when we will discuss global coordination and resources. More information about the global events will be shared soon.

• What is work you’re already doing that is aligned with Movement Strategy?
• What are priorities for you in 2021?
• What are things we should all work on globally?

We would not be able to grow and diversify as a movement if communities from South Asia are not meaningfully involved in implementing the recommendations. Join the conversation with your questions and ideas, or just come to say hi. See you on Friday October 30.

Global bot policy proposal: invitation to a Meta discussion

ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ!

I apologize for sending a message in English. ದಯವಿಟ್ಟು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಭಾಷೆಗೆ ಅನುವಾದಿಸಲು ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡಿ. According to the list, your wiki project currently is opted in to the global bot policy. Under this policy, bots that fix double redirects or maintain interwiki links are allowed to operate under a global bot flag that is assigned directly by the stewards.

As the Wikimedia projects developed, the need for the current global bot policy decreased, and in the past years, no bots were appointed via that policy. That is mainly given Wikidata were estabilished in 2013, and it is no longer necessary to have dozens of bots that maintain interwiki links.

A proposal was made at Meta-Wiki, which proposes that the stewards will be authorized to determine whether an uncontroversial task may be assigned a global bot flag. The stewards already assign permissions that are more impactful on many wikis, namely, global sysops and global renamers, and I do not think that trust should be an issue. The stewards will assign the permission only to time-proven bots that are already approved at a number of projects, like ListeriaBot.

By this message, I would like to invite you to comment in the global RFC, to voice your opinion about this matter.

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,

[Small wiki toolkits] Understanding the technical challenges

Greetings, hope this message finds you all in the best of your health, and you are staying safe amid the ongoing crisis.

Firstly, to give you context, Small wiki toolkits (SWT) is an initiative to support small wiki communities, to learn and share technical and semi-technical skills to support, maintain, and grow. In India, a series of workshops were conducted last year, and they received good response. They are being continued this year, and the first session is: Understanding the technical challenges of wikis (by Birgit): Brainstorming about technical challenges faced by contributors contributing to language projects related to South Asia. The session is on 24 January 2021, at 18:00 to 19:30 (India time), 18:15 to 19:45 (Nepal time), and 18:30 to 20:00 pm (Bangladesh time).

You can register yourself by visiting this page! This discussion will be crucial to decide topics for future workshops. Community members are also welcome to suggest topics for future workshops anytime at https://w.wiki/t8Q. If you have any questions, please contact us on the talk page here.

[Small wiki toolkits] Upcoming bots workshops: Understanding community needs

Greetings, as you may be aware that as part of Small wiki toolkits - South Asia, we conduct a workshop every month on technical topics to help small wikis. In February, we are planning on organizing a workshop on the topic of bots. Bots are automated tools that carry out repetitive, tedious and mundane tasks. To help us structure the workshop, we would like understand the needs of the community in this regard. Please let us know any of

• a) repetitive/mundane tasks that you generally do, especially for maintenance
• b) tasks you think can be automated on your wiki.

Please let us your inputs on workshops talk page, before 7 February 2021. You can also let me know your inputs by emailing me or pinging me here in this section. Please note that you do not need to have any programming knowledge for this workshop or to give input. Regards, KCVelaga ೧೩:೪೫, ೨೮ ಜನವರಿ ೨೦೨೧ (UTC)

Call for feedback: WMF Community Board seats & Office hours tomorrow

(sorry for posting in English)

Dear Wikimedians,

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees is organizing a call for feedback about community selection processes between February 1 and March 14. Below you will find the problem statement and various ideas from the Board to address it. We are offering multiple channels for questions and feedback. With the help of a team of community facilitators, we are organizing multiple conversations with multiple groups in multiple languages.

During this call for feedback we publish weekly reports and we draft the final report that will be delivered to the Board. With the help of this report, the Board will approve the next steps to organize the selection of six community seats in the upcoming months. Three of these seats are due for renewal and three are new, recently approved.

Participate in this call for feedback and help us form a more diverse and better performing Board of Trustees!

Problems: While the Wikimedia Foundation and the movement have grown about five times in the past ten years, the Board’s structure and processes have remained basically the same. As the Board is designed today, we have a problem of capacity, performance, and lack of representation of the movement’s diversity. This problem was identified in the Board’s 2019 governance review, along with recommendations for how to address it.

To solve the problem of capacity, we have agreed to increase the Board size to a maximum of 16 trustees (it was 10). Regarding performance and diversity, we have approved criteria to evaluate new Board candidates. What is missing is a process to promote community candidates that represent the diversity of our movement and have the skills and experience to perform well on the Board of a complex global organization.

Our current processes to select individual volunteer and affiliate seats have some limitations. Direct elections tend to favor candidates from the leading language communities, regardless of how relevant their skills and experience might be in serving as a Board member, or contributing to the ability of the Board to perform its specific responsibilities. It is also a fact that the current processes have favored volunteers from North America and Western Europe. Meanwhile, our movement has grown larger and more complex, our technical and strategic needs have increased, and we have new and more difficult policy challenges around the globe. As well, our Movement Strategy recommendations urge us to increase our diversity and promote perspectives from other regions and other social backgrounds.

In the upcoming months, we need to renew three community seats and appoint three more community members in the new seats. What process can we all design to promote and choose candidates that represent our movement and are prepared with the experience, skills, and insight to perform as trustees?

Ideas: The Board has discussed several ideas to overcome the problems mentioned above. Some of these ideas could be taken and combined, and some discarded. Other ideas coming from the call for feedback could be considered as well. The ideas are:

• Ranked voting system. Complete the move to a single transferable vote system, already used to appoint affiliate-selected seats, which is designed to best capture voters’ preferences.
• Quotas. Explore the possibility of introducing quotas to ensure certain types of diversity in the Board (details about these quotas to be discussed in this call for feedback).
• Call for types of skills and experiences. When the Board makes a new call for candidates, they would specify types of skills and experiences especially sought.
• Vetting of candidates. Potential candidates would be assessed using the Trustee Evaluation Form and would be confirmed or not as eligible candidates.
• Board-delegated selection committee. The community would nominate candidates that this committee would assess and rank using the Trustee Evaluation Form. This committee would have community elected members and Board appointed members.
• Community-elected selection committee. The community would directly elect the committee members. The committee would assess and rank candidates using the Trustee Evaluation Form.
• Election of confirmed candidates. The community would vote for community nominated candidates that have been assessed and ranked using the Trustee Evaluation Form. The Board would appoint the most voted candidates.
• Direct appointment of confirmed candidates. After the selection committee produces a ranked list of community nominated candidates, the Board would appoint the top-ranked candidates directly.

Call for feedback: The call for feedback runs from February 1 until the end of March 14. We are looking for a broad representation of opinions. We are interested in the reasoning and the feelings behind your opinions. In a conversation like this one, details are important. We want to support good conversations where everyone can share and learn from others. We want to hear from those who understand Wikimedia governance well and are already active in movement conversations. We also want to hear from people who do not usually contribute to discussions. Especially those who are active in their own roles, topics, languages or regions, but usually not in, say, a call for feedback on Meta.

You can participate by joining the Telegram chat group, and giving feedback on any of the talk pages on Meta-Wiki. We are welcoming the organisation of conversations in any language and in any channel. If you want us to organize a conversation or a meeting for your wiki project or your affiliate, please write to me. I will also reach out to communities and affiliates to soon have focused group discussions.

An office hour is also happening tomorrow at 12 pm (UTC) to discuss this topic. Access link will be available 15 minutes before the scheduled time (please watch the office hour page for the link, and I will also share on mailing lists). In case you are not able to make it, please don't worry, there will be more discussions and meetings in the next few weeks.

Research Needs Assessment for Indian Language Wikimedia (ILW) Projects

Dear All,

The Access to Knowledge (A2K) team at CIS has been engaged with work on research on Indian language Wikimedia projects as part of the APG since 2019. This year, following up on our learnings from work so far, we are undertaking a needs assessment exercise to understand a) the awareness about research within Indian language Wikimedia communities, and identify existing projects if any, and b) to gather community inputs on knowledge gaps and priority areas of focus, and the role of research in addressing the same.

We would therefore request interested community members to respond to the needs assessment questionnaire here:

Proposal: Set two-letter project shortcuts as alias to project namespace globally

ದಯವಿಟ್ಟು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಭಾಷೆಗೆ ಅನುವಾದಿಸಲು ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡಿ

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, ವಿಕಿಸೋರ್ಸ್ 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,

WMF Community Board seats: Upcoming panel discussions

As a result of the first three weeks of the call for feedback on WMF Community Board seats, three topics turned out to be the focus of the discussion. Additionally, a new idea has been introduced by a community member recently: Candidates resources. We would like to pursue these focus topics and the new idea appropriately, discussing them in depth and collecting new ideas and fresh approaches by running four panels in the next week. Every panel includes four members from the movement covering many regions, backgrounds and experiences, along with a trustee of the Board. Every panel will last 45 minutes, followed by a 45-minute open mic discussion, where everyone’s free to ask questions or to contribute to the further development of the panel's topics.

• Skills for Board work - Friday, March 12, 18:00 UTC
• Support for candidates - Saturday, March 13, 13:30 UTC
• Board - Global Council - Hubs - Saturday, March 13, 16:00 UTC
• Regional diversity - Sunday, March 14, 13:00 UTC

To counter spamming, the meeting link will be updated on the Meta-Wiki pages and also on the Telegram announcements channel, 15 minutes before the official start.

Let me know if you have any questions, KCVelaga (WMF), ೦೮:೩೬, ೧೦ ಮಾರ್ಚ್ ೨೦೨೧ (UTC)

Global bot policy changes

ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ!

I apologize for sending a message in English. ದಯವಿಟ್ಟು ನಿಮ್ಮ ಭಾಷೆಗೆ ಅನುವಾದಿಸಲು ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡಿ. According to the list, your wiki project is currently opted in to the global bot policy. As such, I want to let you know about some changes that were made after the global RfC was closed.

• Global bots are now subject to a 2 week discussion, and it'll be publicized via a MassMessage list, available at Bot policy/New global bot discussion on Meta. Please subscribe yourself or your wiki if you are interested in new global bots proposals.
• For a bot to be considered for approval, it must demonstrate it is welcomed in multiple projects, and a good way to do that is to have the bot flag on at least 5 wikis for a single task.
• The bot operator should make sure to adhere to the wiki's preference as related to the use of the bot flag (i.e., if a wiki doesn't want a bot to use the flag as it edits, that should be followed).

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,
—Thanks for the fish! ^{talk•contribs} ೧೮:೪೮, ೬ ಏಪ್ರಿಲ್ ೨೦೨೧ (UTC)
