Uutspraok Nederlaandse ui

Soms kom ik wel iens meansen tegen uut het oosten van het land die oaverduudelijk een accent hebt. Als ik disse meansen bi'jveurbield huus, uut en buuten heur zeggen in het standaardnederlaands dan klinkt de ui eerder as een eu dan as een ui. Het lik alsof de klank tussen de uu en de ui lig, een soort tussenfase as het ware. Noe he-k lest wat oaver het Urkers en Veluws eleazen dät het Veluws vrogger de tussenfase klank eu had (dus van uu->eu->uu) waor as het noe oaveral uu is ewördden en dät het Urkers noe nog steeds de eu heeft in bi'jveurbield huus (eus). Kan iemand mie vertellen of dit dezelfde klanken bint? Ik bin er wel benieuwd naor eigenlijk.

Grwen (overleg) 00:47, 12 apr 2020 (CEST)

Dag, @Grwen. In et urkersk klinkt 'hüüs' as /øːs/ (een vergelykbåre klank as de 'eu' in et NL woord neus). In et veluwsk is ouk wel een kortere 'eu' te höyren in /høs/ (vergelykbår mid de klank van et NL woord 'hut', mär neet heylemåle etselvde), mär meystentyds is et /hys/ (de NL 'uu'). De historiske untwikkeling van et urkersk is (in de NL ortografy): hoes > huus > hus > (h)eus (de h- wördt neet üütespröäken, mär ik heb geen idee wår in de keaten dee üütevöllen is); vöär et veluwsk: hoes > huus (in håst alle veluwske dialekten) > hus (in bv. et nunspeetsk/doorspyksk, mär teagenswoordig is disse untwikkeling alweader deyls weaderümmedraid), in et veluwsk hevt et sik düs neet döäruntwikkeld tot 'heus' so as in et urkersk, een möägelike volgende stap in de ryge had NL 'huis' künnen weasen, mär soveare is et neet eköämen in de sassiske dialekten. Hoapelik heb jy hyr wat an. Servien (overleg) 22:24, 12 apr 2020 (CEST)

Ha @Grwen: ik weate denk ik wal wat y bedoolt. As y et stadsplat van Almelo höyret, klinket de hollandske ui meyr as üj of höjs. Den anvang van de klank is wat nauwer en höyger in den mund as meyr westerske dialekten. Hyr heb y een vöärbeald van Herman Finkers (https: // youtu. be/ YN_Jgh1YYxs?t=75 eaven selv kopieren en de spatys der uuthalen, want skynbår kan wikipedia gin youtubefilmkes lyden), den as hyr echt syn beste düt üm de ui lösser uut te spreaken (mär noch altyd nit ruum genog).

Zo geet 't wa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN_Jgh1YYxs&t=75. Eissink (overleg) 14:58, 13 apr 2020 (CEST).

Moi Servien, ik mos er soujüüst nog eyns an denken. Klinkt dee uu in et veluwske huus as de ui in et woord ruilen? As y ruilen as 'ruiln' uutsprekt klinkt het en bettyn as 'röhhln'. Düs up syn nederlaandsk üüt esprökken maar met nds accent, düs neet as 'rui-jeln.' Is dit en klank dee tüssen et diftongeerde ui en de monoftong uu insteyt? Grwen (overleg) 23:08, 28 mrt 2021 (CEST)

Kiek is an, mooi uut ebreide antwoorden, daor hol ik vanne! @Servien. Klinkt 'hus' soms as de ö in öllie en götte en als een ö in het Duutse öl (öllie?). Want dan weet ik wel wat a-j bedoelt. As ieje Veluws praot, gebruuk ie dan de /ø/ of de /y/? D'r bint dus eigenlijk (in ieder geval) twie tussenfases tussen de ui en de uu? He-j toevallig ook de bron van de veraandering in et Urkers? Ben er ärg beni'jd naor. Dat van het Veluws stiet in de publikaosies van taal in stad en land weet ik.

@Woolters. Jao, dit is wa-k bedoele. Toch wel grappig om Herman Finkers te heuren, want dit is wier een aandere ui as waor as ik an te denken zat. Disse ui lik nog 'heuger' in de mond te zitten as de ui die ik eigenlijk bedoelden. As mien moe beveurbield huus of uut in het Nederlaands zegt dan heur ik toch meer een ui die tegen de eu an lig dan bi'j Herman Finkers. Bi'j hum lig het wier meer bi'j de 'üj' zoals ie al zeiden. Vind die kleine verskillen altied wel mooi om te heuren. Een Twents 'mond' sprök het net wier aans uut als een Sallandse, haha 😉.

Bedankt veur jullie antwoord!

Grwen (overleg) 00:23, 15 apr 2020 (CEST)

De ö van 'ölly' en 'götte' klinkt as de /œ/ in et oustveluwsk (dat is vergelykbår mid de 'u' van NL bul/hut), in myn dialekt (westveluwsk) is et oly~öly (oly = so as NL olie; öly = eu van NL neus), en göäte (NL ortografy: geute, dus NL eu), et düütske Öl klinkt in NL ortografy as eul, dår is et düs neet mead vergelykbår. Ik gebrüke selv de /y/ in 'hüüs'. Vöär et urkersk kan ik myn neet meyr de eksakte bronvermeldingen vöär de geyst halen of so gauw weadervinden, mär volgens myn was dat deselvde bron as vöär de veluwske dialekten mid hus (Taal in stad en land: Utrechts, Veluws En Flevoland). De untwikkelingen binnen in elk geval wel betöänd tot dit specifike gebeed (Nunspeet/Doorspyk/Urk) vöär soveare as ik weate, dit hevt groutkans van doon mid et feit dat de süderseydialekten deyls döär de hollandske dialekten beinvlöded binnen (de eu ligt gevöölsmåtig tüsken de ui en uu in), mär ouk een freeske inslag hebben. Servien (overleg) 00:02, 17 apr 2020 (CEST)

Westfaalse brekking

Vandage he-k een paor ärtikels eleazen oaver de Westfaalse brekking.

Ik wete noe dät beveurbield woorden als kettel en leppel ofkomstig bint van de Westfaalse brekking (kiättel, liäp(pel)) en dät keatel en leapel hier verheugings van bint (?).

Noe he-k een vraoge oaver woorden als jaor, meer, daor, etc. Woorden die op een r eindigt. Hebt die woorden ook een brekking? En zo jao, is dit dan de Westfaalse brekking? Ik bedoele, ie kunt het verskil heuren tussen beveurbield jaor (jao-eh of jao-ah) en sport. Ie zegt niet jaoh, maer wel spoht. Dit kump ook veur in meer (mee-eh, mee-ah) en daor (dao-er, dao-ar). Dao-ah, jao-ah en mee-ah kump mie meer Twents oaver dan Sallands.

Daornoast ku-j disse klanken ook gebruken in woorden als laoten en meert. Ie kunt laoten zeggen, maer ook lao-ehten. Meert (klinkt mie meer Sallands, of eigenlijk West-Sallands mut ik zeggen) maer ook mee-aht (veur mien gevuul lik dit meer wat in Raolte en oostelijker wordt espreuken).

Grwen (overleg) 16:14, 18 mei 2020 (CEST)

Mooie vråge Grwen. Et solde wal een ård makkeliker küren as y bekend warren med et internationale klankenskrivt. In dit filmken van mönsterlänner platt is he düdelik te höyren: https:/ /www. youtube.com/watch?v=4tE-zMnLcvw&

"Hyr up den land, ouk in LandbIÄrgen, då is dat mid de nåberskup immer noch sou in ordnung, äs dat noch vöär vöäl jåren al wIÄren is. Dat givt ouk een sprikwort dat het: "Een gUOden nåber is veal bIÄter äs een wyden vründ."

Wat in andere dialekte kört of vlak is (brekken, voggel/vogel, botter, stekken, höäre, old, vöär) is med ne westfaalske breaking nen tweyklank: (met neaderlandske spelling: briejaken, voewagel, boewotter, stiejaken, heuware, oewold, vuuweur). Et veansk (vjensk) hevt hyr nen tüskenform bewård: brjakken, vwagel, bwatter, stjakken, höäre, oewold, vuuweur.

Hoi Woolters,

Van mie ma-j het er ook wel in het IPA opzetten heur, ik kan het rejelik leazen.

Bedankt veur het dielen van de filmpies, daor ku-j het goed op heuren. Van Riessen, Eanter en Vriezevene wet ik dät ze brekkings hebt. Maer hebt (ik schrieve ze noe niet in IPA, want dät kan ik niet) woorden als jaor, meert, daor, etc, waoras de r in an het ende, ook verschiensels van de Westfaalse brekking? Ie sprekt ze wel uut als jao-ah of jao-eh. Of ku-j daor niet van sprekken omdät de ao-ah onder invloed van de r ontstiet?

Grwen (overleg) 22:53, 22 mei 2020 (CEST)

Dat staat inderdaad los van de Westfaalse breking en lijkt meer op wat we zien in het Duits (wir /viea/) en soms het (Brits) Engels (square /skwaeë/). Het gaat in de woorden die je opgeeft om invloed van de -r. Precies hetzelfde zien we ook in het uiterste zuiden van Limburg: paerd > peëd. Het is dus een redelijk veel-voorkomend verschijnsel :) --Ooswesthoesbes (overleg) 09:35, 26 mei 2020 (CEST)

Nederlaands

De melodie gaat waarschijnlijk terug op polka's die sinds ongeveer 1840 in Duitsland populair waren. Ze is volgens sommige berichten geschreven door Hendrika van Tussenbroek; mogelijk heeft zij de tekst aan een bestaande melodie gekoppeld.

Letterlijk ummezet Nederlaands

Annual contest Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos

Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP)

This is to invite you to join the Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) campaign to help improve Wikipedia articles with photos and win prizes. The campaign starts today 1st July 2020 and closes 31st August 2020.

The campaign primarily aims at using images from Wikimedia Commons on Wikipedia articles that are lacking images. Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photo images, then add a suitable file from among the many thousands of photos in the Wikimedia Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests (Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc.) over the years.

Please visit the campaign page to learn more about the WPWP Campaign.

With kind regards,

Thank you,

Feedback on movement names

Hallo. Apologies if you are not reading this message in your native language. Help met het vertalen in uw taal if necessary. Bedankt!

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, 21:42, 2 jul 2020 (CEST)

More than 50 million edits have been made using the visual editor on desktop.

Seven years ago this month, the Editing team offered the visual editor to most Wikipedia editors. Since then, editors have achieved many milestones:

• More than 50 million edits have been made using the visual editor on desktop.
• More than 2 million new articles have been created in the visual editor. More than 600,000 of these new articles were created during 2019.
• The visual editor is increasingly popular. The proportion of all edits made using the visual editor has increased every year since its introduction.
• In 2019, 35% of the edits by newcomers (logged-in editors with ≤99 edits) used the visual editor. This percentage has increased every year.
• Almost 5 million edits on the mobile site have been made with the visual editor. Most of these edits have been made since the Editing team started improving the mobile visual editor in 2018.
• On 17 November 2019, the first edit from outer space was made in the mobile visual editor. 🚀 👩‍🚀
• Editors have made more than 7 million edits in the 2017 wikitext editor, including starting 600,000 new articles in it. The 2017 wikitext editor is VisualEditor's built-in wikitext mode. You can enable it in your preferences.

Announcing a new wiki project! Welcome, Abstract Wikipedia

Hi all,

It is my honor to introduce Abstract Wikipedia, a new project that has been unanimously approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. Abstract Wikipedia proposes a new way to generate baseline encyclopedic content in a multilingual fashion, allowing more contributors and more readers to share more knowledge in more languages. It is an approach that aims to make cross-lingual cooperation easier on our projects, increase the sustainability of our movement through expanding access to participation, improve the user experience for readers of all languages, and innovate in free knowledge by connecting some of the strengths of our movement to create something new.

This is our first new project in over seven years. Abstract Wikipedia was submitted as a project proposal by Denny Vrandečić in May 2020 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. Abstract Wikipedia intends to look and feel like a Wikipedia, but build on the powerful, language-independent conceptual models of Wikidata, with the goal of letting volunteers create and maintain Wikipedia articles across our polyglot Wikimedia world.

The project will allow volunteers to assemble the fundamentals of an article using words and entities from Wikidata. Because Wikidata uses conceptual models that are meant to be universal across languages, it should be possible to use and extend these building blocks of knowledge to create models for articles that also have universal value. Using code, volunteers will be able to translate these abstract “articles” into their own languages. If successful, this could eventually allow everyone to read about any topic in Wikidata in their own language.

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 . 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 . 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.

Yours,

Katherine Maher (Executive Director, Wikimedia Foundation)

Technical Wishes: FileExporter and FileImporter become default features on all Wikis

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:

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 centre on Tuesday, September 1st 2020.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. 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 Tuesday, September 1st. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 19:30 IST, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday September 2).
• 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 week of September 1st, 2020. 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.

Wiki of functions naming contest

Help met het vertalen in uw taal

Hallo. Please help pick a name for the new Wikimedia wiki project. This project will be a wiki where the community can work together on a library of functions. The community can create new functions, read about them, discuss them, and share them. Some of these functions will be used to help create language-independent Wikipedia articles that can be displayed in any language, as part of the Abstract Wikipedia project. But functions will also be usable in many other situations.

There will be two rounds of voting, each followed by legal review of candidates, with voting beginning on 29 September and 27 October. Our goal is to have a final project name selected on 8 December. If you would like to participate, then please learn more and vote now at meta-wiki. Bedankt! --Quiddity (WMF)

AbuseFilter notice: rmspecials() will no longer remove whitespace when used in filters

Hallo,

Apologies if you are not reading this message in your native language. Help met het vertalen in uw taal.

We are making a change to the AbuseFilter extension, which may impact the behavior of some existing filters. The rmspecials() function currently removes spaces in addition to special characters. We will change it such that it will only remove special characters. The existing rmwhitespace() can be used to remove spaces whenever applicable.

As reported on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P12854 we believe at least one filter on your wiki has been identified to use the rmspecials() function. Please consider updating these filters by wrapping rmspecials() inside rmwhitespace() like this: rmwhitespace(rmspecials(....))

We need you to update the relevant filters within 2 weeks of this notice. If one of the community members with proper access is volunteering to take this on, we ask them to please respond below and notify User:Huji in their response or in the edit summary. If we don't hear back from you within 2 weeks, Huji will edit the relevant filters on your wiki per the global abuse filter maintainer policy, to ensure the filters won't break once the change is implemented. Thank you for your consideration!

Best regards,

Global bot policy proposal: invitation to a Meta discussion

Hallo!

I apologize for sending a message in English. Help met het vertalen in uw taal. 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,

Wikidata descriptions changes to be included more often in Recent Changes and Watchlist

Sorry for sending this message in English. Translations are available on this page. Feel free to translate it in more languages!

As you may know, you can include changes coming from Wikidata in your Watchlist and Recent Changes (in your preferences). Until now, this feature didn’t always include changes made on Wikidata descriptions due to the way Wikidata tracks the data used in a given article.

Starting on December 3rd, the Watchlist and Recent Changes will include changes on the descriptions of Wikidata Items that are used in the pages that you watch. This will only include descriptions in the language of your wiki to make sure that you’re only seeing changes that are relevant to your wiki.

This improvement was requested by many users from different projects. We hope that it can help you monitor the changes on Wikidata descriptions that affect your wiki and participate in the effort of improving the data quality on Wikidata for all Wikimedia wikis and beyond.

Note: if you didn’t use the Wikidata watchlist integration feature for a long time, feel free to give it another chance! The feature has been improved since the beginning and the content it displays is more precise and useful than at the beginning of the feature in 2015.

If you encounter any issue or want to provide feedback, feel free to use this Phabricator ticket. Thanks!

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

Help met het vertalen in uw taal

Hello everyone,

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

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

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

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

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

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

Best regards,
--Martin Urbanec (talk) 15:12, 18 feb 2021 (CET)

Moselle Franconian

Hello! Sorry for writing in English! I’ve been trying to find out if it’s allowed to use other varieties of Moselle Franconian in the Luxembourgish Wikipedia. I’ve also been trying to figure out if there is or has been a request for a Moselle Franconian Wikipedia edition. Unfortunately I haven’t received any response yet by contributors of the Luxembourgish Wikipedia. Does anyone here know something about it?

Hi, maybe there's information about that here? There's also information about closed language editions at the bottom of this page.

In any case, maybe you should create an article in a different variety of Moselle Franconian on the Luxembourgish Wikipedia and see what the response is like...!

Nysassiske Skryvwyse bedacht door medewerkers Duits- en Nederlands-Nedersaksische Wikipediagemeenschap

Van de nederlaandske Wikipedia kopieert:

Op 1 April 2021 is op de Nederlandstalige Wikipedia een nieuwe pagina aangemaakt over het onderwerp "Wikipediagemeenschap" en deze werd binnen een paar uur voorgedragen voor verwijdering omdat het onderwerp niet relevant zou zijn. Ik dacht aan een goeie 1 Aprilgrap maar nee, intensief overleg op verschillende pagina's met allerlei bewerkers heeft helaas niet tot een minnelijke oplossing gevoerd en het artikel wordt op 14 april verwijderd als de relevantie niet is bewezen. De mededeling in dit artikel dat medewerkers van de Duits- en Nederlands-Nedersaksische Wikipediagemeenschap een nieuwe schrijfwijze hebben bedacht vind ik een prachtig voorbeeld waarmee de relevantie van de gemeenschap kan worden gestaafd. Kan iemand ofwel op de nieuwe pagina (artikel of overlegpagina artikel) ofwel hieronder een bron geven waaruit dit blijkt (of iets anders, bijvoorbeeld notulen of overleg op Wikipedia.

Universal Code of Conduct – 2021 consultations

Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2

Help met het vertalen in uw taal

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

Drafting Committee: Call for applications

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

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

2021 community consultations: Notice and call for volunteers / translators

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

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

Global bot policy changes

Hallo!

I apologize for sending a message in English. Help met het vertalen in uw taal. 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,

Line numbering coming soon to all wikis

Example

From April 15, you can enable line numbering in some wikitext editors - for now in the template namespace, coming to more namespaces soon. This will make it easier to detect line breaks and to refer to a particular line in discussions. These numbers will be shown if you enable the syntax highlighting feature (CodeMirror extension), which is supported in the 2010 and 2017 wikitext editors.

More information can be found on this project page. Everyone is invited to test the feature, and to give feedback on this talk page.

-- Johanna Strodt (WMDE) 17:09, 12 apr 2021 (CEST)

Suggested Values

From April 29, it will be possible to suggest values for parameters in templates. Suggested values can be added to TemplateData and will then be shown as a drop-down list in VisualEditor. This allows template users to quickly select an appropriate value. This way, it prevents potential errors and reduces the effort needed to fill the template with values. It will still be possible to fill in values other than the suggested ones.

More information, including the supported parameter types and how to create suggested values: [1] [2]. Everyone is invited to test the feature, and to give feedback on this talk page.

daal/neer

Moin! För de, de dat villicht nich weet: ik bün von de plattdüütsche Wikipedia. Op Plattdüütsch seggt wi „daal“, wo Nedderlandsch „neer, omlaag, naar beneden“ hett un Hoochdüütsch „nieder, herab, hinunter“. Düt „daal“ is op nds-nl.wp ok to finnen: Op 11 februari 1992 störtn n F-16 stroaljager daal in de Hengeler wiek Hasseler Es (Hengel (Oaveriessel)), In 2000 wördn dit plan daal smetn (Eanske), Dei kaomer keek up t plein daal (Grunnegs (Westerwoolds)). De Wöör daalstörten, daalsmieten, daalkieken warrt jüstso ok op Plattdüütsch bruukt. Frysk kennt dat Woord as del (delpuozje, delloaitsje etc.). Man op Nedderlandsch heff ik nix funnen.

Mien Fraag: kennt de Nedersaksischen Dialekten all düt „daal“? Kennt dat Nedderlandsch en verwandte Form? Gifft dat en Isogloss twüschen Nedersaksisch un Nedderlandsch, de „daal“ un „neer“ scheedt? Gifft dat to düsse Isogloss villicht sogor en Koort? --::Slomox:: >< 11:31, 14 jun 2021 (CEST)

Moi Slomox. Good dy hyr to seen. Volgens my is daal(e) årdig standaard neadersassisk ja. Et neaderlandsk hevt den verb 'dalen' en ölderwetsk selvs 'nederdalen', mär neet as adjektiv sou as in et neadersassisk (is dat in dit geval überhaupt en adjektiv?).

Och, allerbest! Wees bedankt, dat güng fix! Du dröffst den Dank ok geern an Jan Stroop wiedergeven!

is dat in dit geval überhaupt en adjektiv? Tohoop mit en Verb/Warkwoord is dat en Präfix (Verbalpräfix, werkwoordvoorvoegsel, de, nl), ahn Verb/Warkwoord woll en Adverb/Biwoord.

Mär in de etymology kum ik vöär oldsassisk ouk 'nithana' teagen. Jo, dat stimmt. Op Plattdüütsch hebbt wi ok raf, rünner un nedder. All rorer in Vergliek mit daal. 'nithana' => nedden gifft dat ok. In mien Dörp hebbt wi to’n Bispeel twee Straten Neern in Dörp un Boben in Dörp. Neern is nedden (mit 'd' övergahn in 'r'). Man dat is bi uns öllerhaftig. Vondaag seggt wi ünnen un nich mehr neern. Annerwegens mag dat anners ween: En Keerl schütt ut de Döör un liggt al in den sülvigen Momang lang henslagen op dat Plaaster. Gesicht na nedden, Arms wiet vör sik. --::Slomox:: >< 17:39, 14 jun 2021 (CEST)

Editing news 2021 #2

When newcomers had the Reply tool and tried to post on a talk page, they were more successful at posting a comment. (Source)

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.

The key results were:

• Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were more likely to post a comment on a talk page.
• The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also less likely to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.

These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.

Looking ahead

The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.

The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.

You can turn on "Overleghulpmiddelen" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

The Wikimedia Foundation tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. 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.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. 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 Tuesday, 29 June 2021. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (07:00 PDT, 10:00 EDT, 15:00 WEST/BST, 16:00 CEST, 19:30 IST, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday 30 June).
• 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 week of June 28. 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. A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. Please share this information with your community.

Vraoge van en verslaggever over Twentske artikels

Beste Wikipedianen, schrievers van Twentske artikels,

Ik ben Joke van Bibliotheek Hengelo en ik organiseer Wikikring Twente in de bibliotheek. Deze Wikipedianen schrijven over Twente, maar niet in het Nedersaksisch. Wikikring Twente Over de Wikikring Twente kan ik genoeg vertellen.

Ik kreeg onderstaande mail via WMNL en ik leg het ook aan jullie voor. Is er iemand die dit wil oppakken?

Een verslaggever wil graag in contact komen, via de mail of via de telefoon, om te praten over de Twentske Wikipedia.

Een aantal vragen heeft ze al gemaild.

Ik zou voor de Tubantia graag een artikel schrijven over Wikipedia in mijn regio Twente.

- Nu had ik twee vragen: hoe goed is de regio vertegenwoordigd op Wikipedia. Wat ontbreekt, waarin doet de regio het goed. - Daarnaast zie ik de laatste tijd meerdere pagina's in het nedersaksisch verschijnen. Zit daar iemand achter, die het in onze streektaal schrijft? Hoe is die vertegenwoordiging. Daarom zou ik graag iemand spreken die mij daar iets meer over kan vertellen. Mijn telefoonnummer 06-25227382.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Yvet Maassen

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election has come to an end

Thank you for participating in the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election! Voting closed August 31 at 23:59. The official data, including the four most voted candidates, will be announced as soon as the Elections Committee completes their review of the ballots. The official announcement of the new trustees appointed will happen later, once the selected candidates have been confirmed by the Board.

6,946 community members from 216 wiki projects have voted. This makes 10.2% global participation, 1.1% higher than in the last Board elections. In 2017, 5167 people from 202 wiki projects cast their vote. A full analysis is planned to be published in a few days when the confirmed results are announced. In the meantime, you can check the data produced during the election.

Diversity was an important goal with these elections. Messages about the Board election were translated into 61 languages. This outreach worked well. There were 70 communities with eligible voters voting in this election for the first time. With your help, next year’s Board of Trustees election will be even better.

The 2022 Community Wishlist Survey will happen in January

Hello everyone,

We hope all of you are as well and safe as possible during these trying times! We wanted to share some news about a change to the Community Wishlist Survey 2022. We would like to hear your opinions as well.

Summary:

We will be running the Community Wishlist Survey 2022 in January 2022. We need more time to work on the 2021 wishes. We also need time to prepare some changes to the Wishlist 2022. In the meantime, you can use a dedicated sandbox to leave early ideas for the 2022 wishes.

Proposing and wish-fulfillment will happen during the same year

In the past, the Community Tech team has run the Community Wishlist Survey for the following year in November of the prior year. For example, we ran the Wishlist for 2021 in November 2020. That worked well a few years ago. At that time, we used to start working on the Wishlist soon after the results of the voting were published.

However, in 2021, there was a delay between the voting and the time when we could start working on the new wishes. Until July 2021, we were working on wishes from the Wishlist for 2020.

We hope having the Wishlist 2022 in January 2022 will be more intuitive. This will also give us time to fulfill more wishes from the 2021 Wishlist.

Encouraging wider participation from historically excluded communities

We are thinking how to make the Wishlist easier to participate in. We want to support more translations, and encourage under-resourced communities to be more active. We would like to have some time to make these changes.

A new space to talk to us about priorities and wishes not granted yet

We will have gone 365 days without a Wishlist. We encourage you to approach us. We hope to hear from you in the talk page, but we also hope to see you at our bi-monthly Talk to Us meetings! These will be hosted at two different times friendly to time zones around the globe.

We will begin our first meeting September 15th at 23:00 UTC. More details about the agenda and format coming soon!

Brainstorm and draft proposals before the proposal phase

If you have early ideas for wishes, you can use the new Community Wishlist Survey sandbox. This way, you will not forget about these before January 2022. You will be able to come back and refine your ideas. Remember, edits in the sandbox don't count as wishes!

Feedback

• What should we do to improve the Wishlist pages?
• How would you like to use our new sandbox?
• What, if any, risks do you foresee in our decision to change the date of the Wishlist 2022?
• What will help more people participate in the Wishlist 2022?

Answer on the talk page (in any language you prefer) or at our Talk to Us meetings.

Ik zou graag, op verzoek van Bieb Hengelo, willen kjken of Listeriabot hier af en toe op bezoek kan komen, om een paar lijsten bij te houden met artikelen over onderwerpen uit Twente die al wel op Wikidata staan, maar op deze Wiki nog niet beschreven zijn. Een voorbeeld is deze lijst over personen uit Twente, die er op nl-wp vervolgens (voor nl-wp) zo uitziet.

Upcoming Call for Feedback about the Board of Trustees elections

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

Meer talen • Help met het vertalen in uw taal

The Board of Trustees is preparing a call for feedback about the upcoming Board Elections, from January 7 - February 10, 2022.

While details will be finalized the week before the call, we have confirmed at least two questions that will be asked during this call for feedback:

• What is the best way to ensure fair representation of emerging communities among the Board?

• What involvement should candidates have during the election?

While additional questions may be added, the Movement Strategy and Governance team wants to provide time for community members and affiliates to consider and prepare ideas on the confirmed questions before the call opens. We apologize for not having a complete list of questions at this time. The list of questions should only grow by one or two questions. The intention is to not overwhelm the community with requests, but provide notice and welcome feedback on these important questions.

Do you want to help organize local conversation during this Call?

Contact the Movement Strategy and Governance team on Meta, on Telegram, or via email at msgwikimedia.org.

Reach out if you have any questions or concerns. The Movement Strategy and Governance team will be minimally staffed until January 3. Please excuse any delayed response during this time. We also recognize some community members and affiliates are offline during the December holidays. We apologize if our message has reached you while you are on holiday.

Best,

IMPORTANT: Admin activity review

Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted by global community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the admin activity review.

We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no logged actions for more than 2 years):

1. Droadnaegel (administrator)

These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.

However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the stewards on Meta-Wiki so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki. Thanks, علاء (overleg) 11:46, 4 jan 2022 (CET)

Stellingwarfs

Hartstikkene beste meensken, veur et Stellingwarfs hewwe een hiele beste schriefwieze. De meensken kunnen et goed lezen én begriepen en daordeur funktioneert et Stellingwarfs in de praktiek as een standaordtael. Wi'j hebben nooit vule diskussie over de schriefwieze had en we maeken op de schoelen ok van disse schriefwieze gebruuk. Ie kunnen d'r veul van vienen, mar de meensken bin d'r bi'j oons slim wies mit. Et antal verkochte Stellingwarver boeken leit relatief hoog aj' et mit ere Nedersaksische/Nederduutse dialekten vergelieken. Et schoelmateriaol is d'r ok al en we perberen et allegeer wel uut te bouwen, mar veur oons bin d'r amper beparkingen. Now begriep ik dat zoks veur bi'jgelieks et Twents eers is. Vief schriefwiezen bin ok hiel wat en zoks helpt de tael niet veerder. Mar zoas ik krek al angaf, wi'j hebben dat probleem hielemaole niet. Wi'j hebben een relatief laange spellingstradisie en oonze schriefwieze wodt ok deur de gemeenschop aksepteerd. Now heb ik vandaege in et Stellingwarver artikel over et Fraans zien dat daor de Ni'jsaksische schriefwieze bruukt wodde. Now vien ik een ere schriefwieze over et algemien wel interessaant en ik stao d'r wisse wel eupen veur, mar niet as et Stellingwarfs daordeur een vremde tael wodt. Op de diskussiepagina bi'j et artikel Fraans hadde ik al angeven dat de tael die daor bruukt wodde niet iens op et Stellingwarfs liekt. Vot wodde de pagina weerommezet en et was daon mit al mien wark. Zunder in te gaon op de tael die daor staot wodde mien wark vothaeld. Dat zol niet de manier moeten wezen hoe wi'j hier mit mekeer ommegaon. Een stevige diskussie en een grap bin prima, mar een inhooldelike diskussie op een kennisplatvorm as Wikipedia uut de weg gaon is niet gezond veur dit projekt. Ik begriep dat d'r hier goenend bin die stommegraeg meer in een ere schriefwieze doen willen en daor he'k ok alle respekt veur, mar perbeer et ok een betien van de Stellingwarver kaante te bekieken. Mit hattelike groeten --Stellingwerver (overleg) 21:18, 7 jan 2022 (CET)

Ha stellingwerver, De nysassiske skryvwyse (NSS) is untwikkeld üm ouk et stellingwarversk med af te dekken. Et artikel oaver fransk was ouk in et stellingwarversk, mär dan under de NSS. Vöär de düdelikheid: de NSS is GIN uutspråkweadergave, mär ne middenweg. Dat hevt as gevolg dat et der lük anders uutsüt as y wend sint, mär noch steyds up syn stellingwarversk eleysen kan worden. Mär ouk up syn twentsk en drentsk en achterhooksk en achterunderveaneveldsk. Dat is et mooie van de NSS. Uwe veranderingen up et artikel Fransk voogden niks to, y hebbet enkel de skryvwyse ümmesat. As y der en vulwaerdig artikel van maket in de stellingwarver skryvwyse dat flink wat grötter is as dat et was, heylemål prima en welkum. De traditionäle skryvwysen sint gewoan welkum. Mär as nen vöärganger der vöär köäsen hevt üm dit artikel in de NSS te doon, mag dat ouk gewoan. Woolters (overleg) 14:21, 8 jan 2022 (CET)

Een middenweg vien ik begriepelik. De NSS vien ik te veul waeter bi'j de wien, et is eerder waeter mit een betien wien. En as d'r now een peer woorties in et Stellingwarfs eers weren, dan hadde ik daor wel mit kunnen leven, mar dit is veur de Stellingwarvers niet meer herkenbaor. Et kan dus ok niet meer as Stellingwarfs lezen wodden.

Mar goed, wa'k veurkommen wil is een bewarkingsoorlog. Bin d'r ok ofspraoken over op disse Wikipedia. Hewwe d'r wel es over naodocht? Hattelike groeten --Stellingwerver (overleg) 12:51, 9 jan 2022 (CET)

Der sint inderdaad afspråken up disse wiki oaver dialektköäse en skryvwysen. Wåras dee ståt weat ik sou gauw neet uut den kop, mär volgens my is et as volgt:

1. Alle as standaard aksepteerde skryvwysen vöär neadersassiske dialekten binnen Neaderland sint welkum. De Bergveld-skryvwyse, de WALD-spelling, SONT en ANS, mär ouk de NSS.

2. 'Sin ik neet wend' is gin argument.

3. Is en artikel in 1 dialekt/skryvwyse upesteld, dan blivt dat sou. Med en paar uutsünderingen:

3.1 Uutsündering 1: As ymand med en ander dialekt of skryvwyse et artikel flink uutbreidet, is et neet meyr as logisk dat et heyle artikel dan uuteandelik in denne syne vöärköärsskryvwyse en dialekt ümmesat wördt, as den originälen skryver et der ouk med eyns is of neet binnen ofseenbåre tyd reageert (kan ouk noch wal es vöärkummen). Dår müt denne wat de verandering wil dan wal selv achteran.

3.2 Uutsündering 2: De anegeaven skryvwyse in et artikel wikt antounbår stark af van de vöärskrivten sou as dee vöär dat dialekt geldet. Byvöärbeald: in en twentsk artikel dat is upesteld in de KTS-skryvwyse hevt nen skryver stöädig ao gebruked in steade van oa.

3.3 Uutsündering 3: Et artikel is en typisk gadderspül van byvöärbeald oaverkupelende neadersassiske kultuur of gebruken of ne dialektvergelyking, wåras neet te vöärkummen is dat meyrere skryvwysen döär mekander gebruked wordet.

Volgens my heb ik et sou årdig afdekkend beskreaven. Et düchtet my eyrlike regels. Woolters (overleg) 16:42, 9 jan 2022 (CET)

Dår slüüt ik myn by an. De oorsprungelike skryver bepålt de skryvwyse. As en ander en heyle lap tekste tovoogt dan dan mag et heyle artikel in de döär hüm gebrükede skryvwyse ümmesetted wörden (üm et oaversichtelik te holden), by en kleine tovoging wördt de oorsprungelike skryvwyse anehölden. As jy lever de stellingwarver skryvwyse seen breid et artikel gerüst üüt, of skryv en ander mooi artikel in de stellingwarver skryvwyse, der is noch sat üm oaver te skryven. Unse richtlynen wat spelling angeyt kün jy hyr weadervinden: Wikipedia:Spelling en Hulpe:Nedersaksisch schrieven Servien (overleg) 22:36, 9 jan 2022 (CET)

Bedaankt veur de informaosie. Een oplossing zol wezen dawwe de artikelen in verscheidene dialekten toestaon. Zo kan iederiene in zien dialekt of schriefwieze schrieven. Veur et Stellingwarfs wi'k wel meer schrieven, mar vaek zit mi'j een eer dialekt in de weg. Ik zol bi'jveurbeeld wel een stok over et Nederlaans schrieven willen, mar die pagina is al schreven in et Grunnings. Wat d'r overblift bin de 'exotische' onderwarpen. Vanzels zol Wikipedia daor ok meer van hebben moeten, mar et is mien droom om veur et Stellingwarfs zo veul mogelik informaosie beschikber te maeken. En dan mit naeme over de belangriekste onderwarpen zoas alle lanen en taelen van Europa mit alle heufdsteden, alle religies en wetenschopsgebieden. Now is et veural de gatten een betien opvullen. Technisch is et allegeer gien probleem en disse Wikipedia is now ok groot zat. Hattelike groeten --Stellingwerver (overleg) 09:01, 10 jan 2022 (CET)

Dat is et em nu korrekt, et geyt hyr neet blouts üm et stellingswarvsk, mär et neadersassisk in et algemeyn. Dat dee artikelen al in en ander dialekt beståt is toch mooi? En good teyken. Stellingwarvsk steyt neet up sikselv. Y künnet wellicht ouk noch proberen üm byvöärbeald et grönningsk wat uut te breiden. Of et twentsk. Leyr y dat ouk noch es skryven. Is u dat te vöäle? Dan hebbet wy dår ne mooie uplössing vöär. Woolters (overleg) 10:40, 10 jan 2022 (CET)

Et Nedersaksich en Nederduuts bin erkende streektaelen en dat is veural om praktische redenen zo besleuten. De dialekten staon hartstikke op heurzels. Wanneer morgen alle ere dialekten sterven zullen en et Stellingwarfs overblift, dan het et Stellingwarfs daor niks meer of minder om. Et Stellingwarfs zol dan ok weer om praktische redenen as apatte streektael erkend wodden. De boekproduksie en et Stellingwarfs op de schoelen zol dan gewoon deurgaon. Et ienige wat wi’j gemeenschoppelik hebben is dat wi’j dialekten bin die allegeer ofstammen van et Ooldsaksisch, een tael die oons vandaege vremd is. D’r bin now een peer mannen die dat graeg eers zien, mar veur mien jongere generaosie is dat onbegriepelik. Mit een betien kode kuj’ inkotten de verschillende dialekten makkelik vertaelen. Mit sproaksoftware kuj’ alles opvangen en vertaelen en ommezetten. Niet alleinig binnen et Nedersaksisch, mar ok naor et Nederduuts of Nederlaans. Dat ienhiedsdaenken het niks mit de taelpraktiek én niks mit de toekomst te maeken. Hattelike groeten --Stellingwerver (overleg) 16:34, 16 jan 2022 (CET)

Y vergeatet steyds twey wöörde: 'vind ik'. Vöär myn jungere generaty is et heyl interessant dat neadersassisk ne internationale språke is. Et is håste belachelik dat y vöärstelt üm vöär tachtig dialekte ne kode te skryven üm allens ümme te setten terwyl as der al eyne kode is dee as allens verbindet: de nysassiske skryvwyse. Et is heylemål prima dat y hyr stellingwarvsk skryvet. Niks mis med. Mär gåt en ander uw dialekt neet upleggen, want dat hevt net souvöäle bestånsrecht as dat van my. Dårby leget de cyfers neet. Et is wårskynliker dat stellingwarvsk de kummende tyd verdwynt as vöäle andere dialekte. Dan kün y u wal druk maken med vöäle böker uutgeaven, mär as der nüms is wat se least, höldt et rap up. En üm te redden wat der te redden valt, is der ne skryvwyse uutedacht üm de uutwesseling te bevörderen. Neet üm et eyne dialekt boaven et andere up en vootstükke te plaatsen. Woolters (overleg) 10:03, 17 jan 2022 (CET)

Naja, ienheidsdenken giet mie een bettien te wied. De nysassiske skryvwyse is emaakt um juust de verskillen in et skrieven te oaverbruggen. Allenig et skrieven, niks aans. Oe Stellingwarfs blif Stellingwarfs en mien Sallaands blif Sallaands. Et skrieven zölf is aans, maar in det skrieven ku-j de woorden uutsprekken zoas in et Stellingwarfs of bie mie zoas in et Sallaands. Et is um et contact van de luu in Duutslaand, Nederlaand en Denemarken makkeliker te maken. De skriefwieze lik ja exotisch, maar et is dan ook baseerd op o.a. et Middelnedersaksisch en niet op Duuts of Nederlaands. Een skriefwieze baseerd op Nederlaandse spelling is muuilik veur Duutsers, een skriefwieze op Duutse wieze is weer muulik veur Nederlaanders. De NSS probeert dit te oaverbruggen um zo et contact makkeliker te maken. Det is contact veur de toekomst umdet de sprekkers in Duutslaand en Denemarken spraoken sprekt die aorig op de oonze liekt. Det is iets waoras wie wat met kunt. Det kieken nao haoste allenig oe eigen variant vin ik zo zunde. Al die varianten met mekare liekt aorig op mekare en ie kunt det samen 'Nedersaksisch' numen, um an te geaven det die varianten aorig op mekare liekt. Deur zo'n begrip te gebruken bu-w starker en hebt wie et niet allenig oaver de paor tienduzenden sprekkers van Stellingwarfs, Grönnegs, Dreants, Tweants, Sallaands, Veluws, Urkers en Achterhoeks ampärt in Nederlaand alleen.

En jao, de NSS is muulik in et begin, maar ie mut et ja ook leren. Grwen (overleg) 22:11, 17 jan 2022 (CET)

Updates on the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines Review

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

Meer talen • Help met het vertalen in uw taal

Hello everyone,

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees released a statement on the ratification process for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement Guidelines.

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire movement. The UCoC and the Enforcement Guidelines were written by volunteer-staff drafting committees following community consultations.

The revised guidelines were published 24 January 2022 as a proposed way to apply the policy across the movement. There is a list of changes made to the guidelines after the enforcement draft guidelines review. Comments about the guidelines can be shared on the Enforcement Guidelines talk page on Meta-wiki.

To help to understand the guidelines and process, the Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team will be hosting Conversation Hours on 4 February 2022 at 15:00 UTC, 25 February 2022 at 12:00 UTC, and 4 March 2022 at 15:00 UTC. Join the conversation hours to speak with the UCoC project team and drafting committee members about the updated guidelines and voting process.

The timeline is available on Meta-wiki. The voting period is March 7 to 21. All eligible voters will have an opportunity to support or oppose the adoption of the Enforcement guidelines, and share why. See the voting information page for more details.

Many participants from across the movement have provided valuable input in these ongoing conversations. The UCoC and MSG teams want to thank the Drafting Committee and the community members for their contributions to this process.

Sincerely,

Movement Strategy and Governance

Several improvements around templates

Hello, from March 9, several improvements around templates will become available on your wiki:

• Fundamental improvements of the VisualEditor template dialog (1, 2),
• Improvements to make it easier to put a template on a page (3) (for the template dialogs in VisualEditor, 2010 Wikitext and New Wikitext Mode),
• and improvements in the syntax highlighting extension CodeMirror (4, 5) (which is available on wikis with writing direction left-to-right).

All these changes are part of the “Templates” project by WMDE Technical Wishes. We hope they will help you in your work, and we would love to hear your feedback on the talk pages of these projects.

Hello everyone,

A vote in SecurePoll from 7 to 21 March 2022 is scheduled as part of the ratification process for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement guidelines. Eligible voters are invited to answer a poll question and share comments. Read voter information and eligibility details. During the poll, voters will be asked if they support the enforcement of the Universal Code of Conduct based on the proposed guidelines.

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire movement. The revised enforcement guidelines were published 24 January 2022 as a proposed way to apply the policy across the movement. A Wikimedia Foundation Board statement calls for a ratification process where eligible voters will have an opportunity to support or oppose the adoption of the UCoC Enforcement guidelines in a vote. Wikimedians are invited to translate and share important information. For more information about the UCoC, please see the project page and frequently asked questions on Meta-wiki.

There are events scheduled to learn more and discuss:

• A community panel recorded on 18 February 2022 shares perspectives from small- and medium-sized community participants.
• The Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team is hosting Conversation Hours on 4 March 2022 at 15:00 UTC. Please sign-up to interact with the project team and the drafting committee about the updated enforcement guidelines and the ratification process. See the Conversation Hour summaries for notes from 4 February 2022 and 25 February 2022.

You can comment on Meta-wiki talk pages in any language. You may also contact either team by email: msgwikimedia.org or ucocprojectwikimedia.org

Invitation to Hubs event: Global Conversation on 2022-03-12 at 13:00 UTC

Hello!

The Movement Strategy and Governance team of the Wikimedia Foundation would like to invite you to the next event about "Regional and Thematic Hubs". The Wikimedia Movement is in the process of understanding what Regional and Thematic Hubs should be. Our workshop in November was a good start (read the report), but we're not finished yet.

Over the last weeks we conducted about 16 interviews with groups working on establishing a Hub in their context (see Hubs Dialogue). These interviews informed a report that will serve as a foundation for discussion on March 12. The report is planned to be published on March 9.

The event will take place on March 12, 13:00 to 16:00 UTC on Zoom. Interpretation will be provided in French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, and Portuguese. Registration is open, and will close on March 10. Anyone interested in the topic is invited to join us. More information on the event on Meta-wiki.

Best regards,

Fundamental changes in the template dialog.

Hello, more changes around templates are coming to your wiki soon:

The template dialog in VisualEditor and in the 2017 Wikitext Editor (beta) will be improved fundamentally: This should help users understand better what the template expects, how to navigate the template, and how to add parameters.

Revisions to the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement Guidelines

Meer talen • Help met het vertalen in uw taal

Hello all,

We'd like to provide an update on the work on the Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct. After the conclusion of the community vote on the guidelines in March, the Community Affairs committee (CAC) of the Board asked that several areas of the guidelines be reviewed for improvements before the Board does its final review. These areas were identified based on community discussions and comments provided during the vote. The CAC also requested review of the controversial Note in 3.1 of the UCoC itself.

Once more, a big thank you to all who voted, especially to all who left constructive feedback and comments! The project team is working with the Board to establish a timeline for this work, and will communicate this next month.

Members of the two prior UCoC Drafting Committees have generously offered their time to help shape improvements to the Guidelines. You can read more about them and their work here, as well as read summaries of their weekly meetings in 2022.

Wikimedians have provided many valuable comments together with the vote and in other conversations. Given the size and diversity of the Wikimedia community, there are even more voices out there who can give ideas on how to improve the enforcement guidelines and add even more valuable ideas to the process. To help the Revisions committee identify improvements, input on several questions for the committee’s review is requested. Visit the Meta-wiki pages (Enforcement Guidelines revision discussions, Policy text revision discussions) to get your ideas to the Committee - it is very important that viewpoints are heard from different communities before the Committee begins drafting revision proposals.

Desktopverbeteringen-update

Dit de nieuwe standaard maken

Hallo. Ik wilde graag een update geven over het Desktopverbeteringen-project, waar het Wikimedia Foundation-webteam de afgelopen jaren aan heeft gewerkt. Ons werk is bijna klaar! 🎉

Wij zouden graag zien dat deze verbeteringen de standaard worden voor lezers en bewerkers op alle wiki's. In de komende weken zullen we gesprekken beginnen op meer wiki's, waaronder die van jou. 🗓️ We lezen graag uw suggesties!

Het doel van het project is om de interface uitnodigender en comfortabeler te maken voor lezers en nuttiger voor gevorderde gebruikers. Het project bestaat uit een reeks functieverbeteringen die het gemakkelijker maken om te lezen en te leren, binnen de pagina te navigeren, te zoeken, te wisselen van taal, artikeltabbladen en het gebruikersmenu te gebruiken, en meer. De verbeteringen zijn standaard al zichtbaar voor lezers en bewerkers op meer dan 30 wiki's, waaronder de Wikipedia's in het Frans, Portugees en Perzisch.

De wijzigingen zijn alleen van toepassing op de skin Vector. Monobook of Timeless worden niet beïnvloed.

De nieuwste functies

• Inhoudsopgave - onze versie is gemakkelijker te bereiken, context van de pagina te verkrijgen, en door de pagina te navigeren zonder te hoeven scrollen. Het wordt momenteel getest op onze pilot-wiki's. Het is ook beschikbaar voor bewerkers die zich hebben aangemeld voor de Vector 2022-skin.
• Paginahulpmiddelen - er zijn nu twee soorten links in de zijbalk. Er zijn acties en hulpmiddelen voor individuele pagina's (zoals Gerelateerde wijzigingen) en links van wiki-brede aard (zoals Recente wijzigingen). We gaan deze opsplitsen in twee intuïtieve menu's.

Hoe de verbeteringen te activeren

Globale instellingen

• Het is mogelijk het op individuele wiki's te activeren op het tabblad Uiterlijk in de voorkeuren door "Vector (2022)" te selecteren. Het is ook mogelijk het op alle wiki's tegelijk te activeren met behulp van de Globale voorkeuren.
• Op wiki's waar de wijzigingen standaard voor iedereen zichtbaar zijn, kunnen ingelogde gebruikers altijd teruggaan naar de oude Vector. Er is een gemakkelijk toegankelijke link in de zijbalk van de nieuwe Vector.

Leer meer en doe mee aan onze activiteiten

Als u de voortgang van ons project wilt volgen, kunt u zich abonneren op onze nieuwsbrief. U kunt de pagina's van het project lezen, onze FAQ bekijken, reageren op de project-overlegpagina, en deelnemen aan een online vergadering met ons.

Propose statements for the 2022 Election Compass

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

Meer talen • Help met het vertalen in uw taal

Hi all,

Community members in the 2022 Board of Trustees election are invited to propose statements to use in the Election Compass.

An Election Compass is a tool to help voters select the candidates that best align with their beliefs and views. The community members will propose statements for the candidates to answer using a Lickert scale (agree/neutral/disagree). The candidates’ answers to the statements will be loaded into the Election Compass tool. Voters will use the tool by entering in their answer to the statements (agree/disagree/neutral). The results will show the candidates that best align with the voter’s beliefs and views.

Here is the timeline for the Election Compass

• July 8 - 20: Community members propose statements for the Election Compass
• July 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and removes off-topic statements
• July 23 - August 1: Volunteers vote on the statements
• August 2 - 4: Elections Committee selects the top 15 statements
• August 5 - 12: candidates align themselves with the statements
• August 15: The Election Compass opens for voters to use to help guide their voting decision

The Elections Committee will select the top 15 statements at the beginning of August. The Elections Committee will oversee the process, supported by the Movement Strategy and Governance team. MSG will check that the questions are clear, there are no duplicates, no typos, and so on.

Best,

Movement Strategy and Governance

These hours of volunteer work connect us across understanding and perspective. Thank you for your participation.

Thank you to the community members who put themselves forward as candidates for the Board of Trustees. Considering joining the Board of Trustees is no small decision. The time and dedication candidates have shown to this point speaks to their commitment to this movement. Congratulations to those candidates who have been selected. A great amount of appreciation and gratitude for those candidates not selected. Please continue to share your leadership with Wikimedia.

Thank you to those who followed the Affiliate process for this Board election. You may review the results of the Affiliate selection process.

The next part of the Board election process is the community voting period. You may view the Board election timeline here. To prepare for the community voting period, there are several things community members can engage with in the following ways:

• Read candidates’ statements and read the candidates’ answers to the questions posed by the Affiliate Representatives.
• Propose and select the 6 questions for candidates to answer during their video Q&A.
• See the Analysis Committee’s ratings of candidates on each candidate’s statement.
• Propose statements for the Election Compass voters can use to find which candidates best fit their principles.
• Encourage others in your community to take part in the election.

Best,

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?

The slides for our presentation at Wikimania 2022

Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Web team. In two weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.

We have been working on it for the past three years. So far, it has been the default on more than 30 wikis, including sister projects, all accounting for more than 1 billion pageviews per month. On average 87% of active logged-in users of those wikis use Vector 2022.

It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy. Logged-in users can at any time switch to any other skins. No changes are expected for users of these skins.

• Top of an article
• 
  Vector legacy (current default)
• 
  Vector 2022

• A section of an article
• 
  Vector legacy (current default)
• 
  Vector 2022

About the skin

[Why is a change necessary] The current default skin meets the needs of the readers and editors as these were 13 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using Wikimedia projects. The old Vector doesn't meet their needs.

[Objective] The objective for the new skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It draws inspiration from previous requests, the Community Wishlist Surveys, and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins. We reduced PHP code in Wikimedia deployed skins by 75%. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs.

[Changes and test results] The skin introduces a series of changes that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin.

• The sticky header makes it easier to find tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%.
• The new table of contents makes it easier to navigate to different sections. Readers and editors jumped to different sections of the page 50% more than with the old table of contents. It also looks a bit different on talk pages.
• The new search bar is easier to find and makes it easier to find the correct search result from the list. This increased the amount of searches started by 30% on the wikis we tested on.
• The skin does not negatively affect pageviews, edit rates, or account creation. There is evidence of increases in pageviews and account creation across partner communities.

[Try it out] Try out the new skin by going to the appearance tab in your preferences and selecting Vector 2022 from the list of skins.

How can editors change and customize this skin?

It's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts. Check out our repository for a list of currently available customizations, or add your own.

Our plan

If no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying in the week of October 3, 2022. If your community would like to request more time to discuss the changes, hit the button and write to us. We can adjust the calendar.

Request for more time to discuss the change

If you'd like ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please ping me here or write on the talk page of the project. We will gladly answer! Also, see our FAQ. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 06:15, 22 sep 2022 (CEST)

Update on Vector 2022

Hello. I'm sorry for not communicating in your language. I'll be grateful if you translated my message. I'm writing on behalf of the Web team working on the new skin, Vector 2022.

We wanted to apologize for the delays in the deployment of Vector 2022. We know many of you are waiting for this eagerly. We have been delaying the deployment because we have been working on the logos. It has taken us more time than originally expected. Once the logos are ready, we will let you know the exact date of deployment. We are planning for either the next (more likely) or the following week. If your wiki doesn't currently have a localized logo, we encourage you to reach out to us and we can help make one.

We invite you to get involved in the project. Contact us if you have any questions or need any help, particularly with the compatibility of gadgets and user scripts. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) 01:24, 20 okt 2022 (CEST)

Ontwarp versus inhold

Ik zie det op Wikipedia de ontwarpers 't hieltied meer van de inholdelijken wint. Aldeur meer chic wit en minimalisme, ten koste van de zichtberheid van knoppen, links en viendbere meugelijkheden. Grote verliezers bint de aanderstalige Wikipedia's: mit elke neie skin wördt de lieste an talen waorin een artikel beschikber is dieper begreuven.

Um een volledige talenlieste in bield te holden: rechtsbaoven naor Instellingen, tab Uterlik, kiest 'Vector, oude versie (2010)', en beneden onder 'Språken' uutvinken: 'Een kompakte språkenlyste gebruken, mid de språken wår jy wat an hebbet.' (Kan die schunnige tekst in de Nedersaksische Wikipedia vervöngen wörden deur zowat as 'Een kompakte språkenlyste gebruken, mid en paar höövdspråken.'?)

't Zölfde procedé volgen in aandere taalversies van Wikipedia die aj gebruukt. Op de Engelse het 't: 'Use a compact language list, with languages relevant to you.' 99,99% van de gebrukers van Wikipedia zal 't niet helpen, mar dit kuj dus doen zodet Wikipedia niet langer veur oe bepaolt welke talen "dertoe doet". Ni'jluuseger (overleg) 10:30, 3 nov 2022 (CET)

Ik heb translatewiki:MediaWiki:Ext-uls-compact-language-links-preference/nds-nl an-epast. T kan n weke duren veur t hier zichbår is. bdijkstra (overleg) 11:28, 3 nov 2022 (CET)

Ik do al jåren med Wikiwand, jüüst ümdat ik de olde variant verskruwelik verölderd vünd. Dårdöär was my et nye untwarp noch geheyls neet upevöllen. Ik müt seggen dat ik et ne heyle verbeatering vinde, al kan et wat my angeyt noch neet an Wikiwand tippen. Et nådeyl van Wikiwand is dat et enkel vöär leasers is, neet vöär bewarkers. As ik wat wil, müt ik eyrst de olde variant weader ansetten, al vind ik dat ne kleine prys en is et al heylemål vaste rutine by my. Wikiwand maket trouwens ginne skifting tüsken språken dee as se wal un neet nüttig vöär my achtet. Woolters (overleg) 13:58, 3 nov 2022 (CET)

Dankewal, Diekstroa. Woolters: de deurgewinterde Wikipediaan (wij dus) wet van hoed (skin dus) te wisseln of dermit te fiegelieren; de tragiek is det de algemiene bezuker van Wikipedia in de neiste standerdversie de trits an taalvariaanten niet gauw zal vienden. Zölfs veur wie der wal weet van hef, is 't now te veule muite en klikken um bij een gewenste taalversie te komen. Netuurlijk huuft een schier ontwarp en de viendberheid van talen en aandere opties gien kwestie te wezen van óf-óf, mar det is 't dus helaas wal ewörden.

Invitation to attend “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter” Sessions

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

Meer talen • Help met het vertalen in uw taal

Hello all,

During the 2022 Wikimedia Summit, the Movement Charter Drafting Committee (MCDC) presented the first outline of the Movement Charter, giving a glimpse on the direction of its future work, and the Charter itself. The MCDC then integrated the initial feedback collected during the Summit. Before proceeding with writing the Charter for the whole Movement, the MCDC wants to interact with community members and gather feedback on the drafts of the three sections: Preamble, Values & Principles, and Roles & Responsibilities (intentions statement). The Movement Charter drafts will be available on the Meta page here on November 14, 2022. Community wide consultation period on MC will take place from November 20 to December 18, 2022. Learn more about it here.

With the goal of ensuring that people are well informed to fully participate in the conversations and are empowered to contribute their perspective on the Movement Charter, three “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter" sessions have been scheduled in different time zones. Everyone in the Wikimedia Movement is invited to attend these conversations. The aim is to learn about Movement Charter - its goal, purpose, why it matters, and how it impacts your community. MCDC members will attend these sessions to answer your questions and hear community feedback.

The “Ask Me Anything” sessions accommodate communities from different time zones. Only the presentation of the session is recorded and shared afterwards, no recording of conversations. Below is the list of planned events:

• Asia/Pacific: November 4, 2022 at 09:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Chinese and Japanese.
• Europe/MENA/Sub Saharan Africa: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Arabic, French and Russian.
• North and South America/ Western Europe: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Spanish and Portuguese.

On the Meta page you will find more details; Zoom links will be shared 48 hours ahead of the call.

Call for Movement Charter Ambassadors

Individuals or groups from all communities who wish to help include and start conversations in their communities on the Movement Charter are encouraged to become Movement Charter Ambassadors (MC Ambassadors). MC Ambassadors will carry out their own activities and get financial support for enabling conversations in their own languages. Regional facilitators from the Movement Strategy and Governance team are available to support applicants with MC Ambassadors grantmaking. If you are interested please sign up here. Should you have specific questions, please reach out to the MSG team via email: strategy2030@wikimedia.org or on the MS forum.

We thank you for your time and participation.

On behalf of the Movement Charter Drafting Committee,

Apply for Funding through the Movement Strategy Community Engagement Package to Support Your Community

Mal:More languages

The Wikimedia Movement Strategy implementation is a collaborative effort for all Wikimedians. Movement Strategy Implementation Grants support projects that take the current state of a Movement Strategy Initiative and push it one step forward. If you are looking for an example or some guide on how to engage your community further on Movement Strategy and the Movement Strategy Implementation Grants specifically, you may find this community engagement package helpful.

The goal of this community engagement package is to support more people to access the funding they might need for the implementation work. By becoming a recipient of this grant, you will be able to support other community members to develop further grant applications that fit with your local contexts to benefit your own communities. With this package, the hope is to break down language barriers and to ensure community members have needed information on Movement Strategy to connect with each other. Movement Strategy is a two-way exchange, we can always learn more from the experiences and knowledge of Wikimedians everywhere. We can train and support our peers by using this package, so more people can make use of this great funding opportunity.

If this information interests you or if you have any further thoughts or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us as your regional facilitators to discuss further. We will be more than happy to support you. When you are ready, follow the steps on this page to apply. We look forward to receiving your application.

Opportunities open for the Ombuds commission and the Case Review Committee

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

Meer talen • Help met het vertalen in uw taal

Hi everyone! The Ombuds commission (OC) and the Case Review Committee (CRC) are looking for members. People are encouraged to nominate themselves or encourage others they feel would contribute to these groups to do so. There is more information below about the opportunity and the skills that are needed.

About the Ombuds commission

The Ombuds commission (OC) works on all Wikimedia projects to investigate complaints about violations of the privacy policy, especially in use of CheckUser and Oversight (also known as Suppression) tools. The Commission mediates between the parties of the investigation and, when violations of the policies are identified, advises the Wikimedia Foundation on best handling. They may also assist the General Counsel, the Chief Executive Officer, or the Board of Trustees of the Foundation in these investigations when legally necessary. For more on the OC's duties and roles, see Ombuds commission on Meta-Wiki.

Volunteers serving in this role should be experienced Wikimedians, active on any project, who have previously used the CheckUser/Oversight tools OR who have the technical ability to understand these tools and the willingness to learn them. They must be able to communicate in English, the common language of the commission. They are expected to be able to engage neutrally in investigating these concerns and to know when to recuse when other roles and relationships may cause conflict. Commissioners will serve two-year terms (note that this is different from past years, when the terms have been for one year).

About the Case Review Committee

The Case Review Committee (CRC) reviews appeals of eligible Trust & Safety office actions. The CRC is a critical layer of oversight to ensure that Wikimedia Foundation office actions are fair and unbiased. They also make sure the Wikimedia Foundation doesn’t overstep established practices or boundaries. For more about the role, see Case Review Committee on Meta-Wiki.

We are looking for current or former functionaries and experienced volunteers with an interest in joining this group. Applicants must be fluent in English (additional languages are a strong plus) and willing to abide by the terms of the Committee charter. If the work resonates and you qualify, please apply. Committee members will serve two-year terms (note that this is different from past years, when the terms have been for one year).

Applying to join either of these groups

Members are required to sign the Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information and must be willing to comply with the appropriate Wikimedia Foundation board policies (such as the access to non-public information policy and the Foundation privacy policy). These positions requires a high degree of discretion and trust. Members must also be over 18 years of age.

If you are interested in serving in either capacity listed above, please write in English to the Trust and Safety team at cawikimedia.org (to apply to the OC) or to the Legal Team at legalwikimedia.org (to apply to the CRC) with information about:

• Your primary projects
• Languages you speak/write
• Any experience you have serving on committees, whether movement or non-movement
• Your thoughts on what you could bring to the OC or CRC if appointed
• Any experience you have with the Checkuser or Oversight tools (OC only)
• Any other information you think is relevant

The deadline for applications is 31 December 2022 in any timezone.

Please feel free to pass this invitation along to any users who you think may be qualified and interested. Thank you!

On behalf of the Committee Support team,
