Do you use Wikidata in Wikimedia sibling projects? Tell us about your experiences

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

Note: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English.

Hello, the Wikidata for Wikimedia Projects team at Wikimedia Deutschland would like to hear about your experiences using Wikidata in the sibling projects. If you are interested in sharing your opinion and insights, please consider signing up for an interview with us in this Registration form.
Currently, we are only able to conduct interviews in English.

The front page of the form has more details about what the conversation will be like, including how we would compensate you for your time.

For more information, visit our project issue page where you can also share your experiences in written form, without an interview.
We look forward to speaking with you, Danny Benjafield (WMDE) (talk) 08:53, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Reusing references: Can we look over your shoulder?

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

Apologies for writing in English.

The Technical Wishes team at Wikimedia Deutschland is planning to make reusing references easier. For our research, we are looking for wiki contributors willing to show us how they are interacting with references.

  • The format will be a 1-hour video call, where you would share your screen. More information here.
  • Interviews can be conducted in English, German or Dutch.
  • Compensation is available.
  • Sessions will be held in January and February.
  • Sign up here if you are interested.
  • Please note that we probably won’t be able to have sessions with everyone who is interested. Our UX researcher will try to create a good balance of wiki contributors, e.g. in terms of wiki experience, tech experience, editing preferences, gender, disability and more. If you’re a fit, she will reach out to you to schedule an appointment.

We’re looking forward to seeing you, Thereza Mengs (WMDE)

Feminism and Folklore 2024

Παρακαλώ βοηθήστε να γίνει μετάφραση στη γλώσσα σας

Dear Wiki Community,

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

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

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

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

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

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

We look forward to your immense coordination.

Thank you and Best wishes,

Feminism and Folklore 2024 International Team

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

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

Dear all,

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

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

Here are the key planned dates:

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

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

Election Volunteers

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

Best regards,

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

[4] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections_committee/Roles

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

Hello all,

The next language community meeting is scheduled in a few weeks - May 31st at 16:00 UTC. If you're interested, you can sign up on this wiki page.

Hello everyone,

After carefully tallying both individual and affiliate votes, the Charter Electoral Commission is pleased to announce the final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter voting.  

As communicated by the Charter Electoral Commission, we reached the quorum for both Affiliate and individual votes by the time the vote closed on July 9, 23:59 UTC. We thank all 2,451 individuals and 129 Affiliate representatives who voted in the ratification process. Your votes and comments are invaluable for the future steps in Movement Strategy.

The final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter ratification voting held between 25 June and 9 July 2024 are as follows:

Individual vote:

Out of 2,451 individuals who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 2,446 have been accepted as valid votes. Among these, 1,710 voted “yes”; 623 voted “no”; and 113 selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 73.30% voted to approve the Charter (1710/2333), while 26.70% voted to reject the Charter (623/2333).

Affiliates vote:

Out of 129 Affiliates designated voters who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 129 votes are confirmed as valid votes. Among these, 93 voted “yes”; 18 voted “no”; and 18 selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 83.78% voted to approve the Charter (93/111), while 16.22% voted to reject the Charter (18/111).

Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation:

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees voted not to ratify the proposed Charter during their special Board meeting on July 8, 2024. The Chair of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, Nataliia Tymkiv, shared the result of the vote, the resolution, meeting minutes and proposed next steps.  

With this, the Wikimedia Movement Charter in its current revision is not ratified.

We thank you for your participation in this important moment in our movement’s governance.

Coming soon: A new sub-referencing feature – try it!

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

Hello. For many years, community members have requested an easy way to re-use references with different details. Now, a MediaWiki solution is coming: The new sub-referencing feature will work for wikitext and Visual Editor and will enhance the existing reference system. You can continue to use different ways of referencing, but you will probably encounter sub-references in articles written by other users. More information on the project page.

We want your feedback to make sure this feature works well for you:

Wikimedia Deutschland’s Technical Wishes team is planning to bring this feature to Wikimedia wikis later this year. We will reach out to creators/maintainers of tools and templates related to references beforehand.

The following four candidates were the most voted:

  1. Christel Steigenberger
  2. Maciej Artur Nadzikiewicz

While these candidates have been ranked through the vote, they still need to be appointed to the Board of Trustees. They need to pass a successful background check and meet the qualifications outlined in the Bylaws. New trustees will be appointed at the next Board meeting in December 2024.

Learn more about the results on Meta-Wiki.

Best regards,

Hello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the Wikidata item sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the General section into the In Other Projects section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. Please let us know if you notice any problems or bugs after this change.

Feminism and Folklore 2025 starts soon

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]
Παρακαλώ βοηθήστε να γίνει μετάφραση στη γλώσσα σας

Dear Wiki Community,

You are humbly invited to organize the Feminism and Folklore 2025 writing competition from February 1, 2025, to March 31, 2025 on your local Wikipedia. This year, Feminism and Folklore will focus on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics for the project, with a Wiki Loves Folklore gender gap focus and a folk culture theme on Wikipedia.

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

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

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

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

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

We look forward to your immense coordination.

Thank you and Best wishes,

Feminism and Folklore 2025 International Team

An improved dashboard for the Content Translation tool

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

Γεια σας Wikipedians,

Apologies as this message is not in your language, Παρακαλώ βοηθήστε να γίνει μετάφραση στη γλώσσα σας.

The Language and Product Localization team has improved the Content Translation dashboard to create a consistent experience for all contributors using mobile and desktop devices. Below is a breakdown of important information about the improvement.

What are the improvements?
The improved translation dashboard allows all logged-in users of the tool to enjoy a consistent experience regardless of their type of device. With a harmonized experience, logged-in desktop users can now access the capabilities shown in the image below.

Notice that in this screenshot, the new dashboard allows: Users to adjust suggestions with the "For you" and "...More" buttons to select general topics or community-created collections (like the example of Climate topic). Also, users can use translation to create new articles (as before) and expand existing articles section by section. You can see how suggestions are provided in the new dashboard in two groups ("Create new pages" and "Expand with new sections")-one for each activity.


In the current dashboard, you will notice that you can't adjust suggestions to select topics or community-created collections. Also, you can't expand on existing articles by translating new sections.

Does this improvement change the current accessibility of this tool in this Wikipedia?
The Content translation tool will still be in beta; therefore, only logged-in users who activated the tool from the will continue to have access to the content translation tool. Also, if the tool is only available to a specific , it will remain that way.

When do we plan to implement this improvement?
We will implement it on your Wikipedia and others by 24th, March 2025.

What happens to the former dashboard after we implement the improvement?
You can still access it in the tool for some time. We will remove it from all Wikipedias by May 2025, as maintaining it will no longer be productive.

Where can I test this improvement and report any issues before it is implemented in this Wiki?
You can try the improved capabilities in the test wiki using this link: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ContentTranslation&campaign=contributionsmenu&to=es&filter-type=automatic&filter-id=previous-edits&active-list=suggestions&from=en#/ . If you notice an issue related to the improved dashboard in the test wiki, please let us know in this thread and ping me, or report it in Phabricator, adding these tags: BUG REPORT and ContentTranslation.

Please ask us any questions regarding this improvement in this thread. Thank you!

On behalf of the Language and Product Localization team.

Hi I’m Johannes from Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes team. We are making great strides with the new sub-referencing feature and we’d love to invite you to take part in two activities to help us move this work further:

  1. Try it out and share your feedback
    Please try the updated wikitext feature on the beta wiki and let us know what you think, either on our talk page or by booking a call with our UX researcher.
  2. Get a sneak peak and help shape the Visual Editor user designs
    Help us test the new design prototypes by participating in user sessions – sign up here to receive an invite. We're especially hoping to speak with people from underrepresented and diverse groups. If that's you, please consider signing up! No prior or extensive editing experience is required. User sessions will start May 14th.

We plan to bring this feature to Wikimedia wikis later this year. We’ll reach out to wikis for piloting in time for deployments. Creators and maintainers of reference-related tools and templates will be contacted beforehand as well.

Thank you very much for your support and encouragement so far in helping bring this feature to life!

We will be enabling the new Charts extension on your wiki soon!

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

(Apologies for posting in English)

Hi all! We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them.

As you probably know, the old Graph extension was disabled in 2023 due to security reasons. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the Charts extension, which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the EasyTimeline extension.

After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki.

The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from May 6. Please, consult our page on MediaWiki.org to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also consult the documentation about the extension on MediaWiki.org.

If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org, or ping me directly under this thread. If you encounter issues using Charts once it gets enabled on your wiki, please report it on the talk page or at Phabricator.

RfC ongoing regarding Abstract Wikipedia (and your project)

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

(Apologies for posting in English, if this is not your first language)

Hello all! We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of Abstract Wikipedia: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too.

We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.

You can read the various hypothesis and have your say at Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content. Thank you in advance! -- Sannita (WMF) (καλάτσεμαν) 15:27, 22 Καλομηνά 2025 (UTC)Απάντηση

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2025 Selection & Call for Questions

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

Περισσότερες γλώσσες • Παρακαλώ βοηθήστε να γίνει μετάφραση στη γλώσσα σας

Dear all,

This year, the term of 2 (two) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.

The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].

Here are the key planned dates:

  • May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
  • June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
  • July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
  • August 2025: Campaign period
  • August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
  • October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
  • Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated

Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [link].

Call for Questions

In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [link]

Election Volunteers

Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [link].

(Apologies for posting in English if English is not your first language. Please help translate to your language.)

The Campaigns Product Team is planning a global deployment of the CampaignEvents extension to all Wikipedias, including this wiki, during the week of June 23rd.

This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, WikiProjects, and other on-wiki collaborations - and to make these efforts more discoverable.

The three main features of this extension are:

Note: The extension comes with a new user right called "Event Organizer", which will be managed by administrators on this wiki. Organizer tools like Event Registration and Invitation Lists will only work if someone is granted this right. The Collaboration List is available to everyone immediately after deployment.

The extension is already live on several wikis, including Meta, Wikidata, English Wikipedia, and more ( See the full deployment list)

If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to share them on the extension talkpage. We’d love to hear from you before the rollout.

Thank you!

Sister Projects Task Force reviews Wikispore and Wikinews

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

Dear Wikimedia Community,

The Community Affairs Committee (CAC) of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees assigned the Sister Projects Task Force (SPTF) to update and implement a procedure for assessing the lifecycle of Sister Projects – wiki projects supported by Wikimedia Foundation (WMF).

A vision of relevant, accessible, and impactful free knowledge has always guided the Wikimedia Movement. As the ecosystem of Wikimedia projects continues to evolve, it is crucial that we periodically review existing projects to ensure they still align with our goals and community capacity.

Despite their noble intent, some projects may no longer effectively serve their original purpose. Reviewing such projects is not about giving up – it's about responsible stewardship of shared resources. Volunteer time, staff support, infrastructure, and community attention are finite, and the non-technical costs tend to grow significantly as our ecosystem has entered a different age of the internet than the one we were founded in. Supporting inactive projects or projects that didn't meet our ambitions can unintentionally divert these resources from areas with more potential impact.

Moreover, maintaining projects that no longer reflect the quality and reliability of the Wikimedia name stands for, involves a reputational risk. An abandoned or less reliable project affects trust in the Wikimedia movement.

Lastly, failing to sunset or reimagine projects that are no longer working can make it much harder to start new ones. When the community feels bound to every past decision – no matter how outdated – we risk stagnation. A healthy ecosystem must allow for evolution, adaptation, and, when necessary, letting go. If we create the expectation that every project must exist indefinitely, we limit our ability to experiment and innovate.

Because of this, SPTF reviewed two requests concerning the lifecycle of the Sister Projects to work through and demonstrate the review process. We chose Wikispore as a case study for a possible new Sister Project opening and Wikinews as a case study for a review of an existing project. Preliminary findings were discussed with the CAC, and a community consultation on both proposals was recommended.

The application to consider Wikispore was submitted in 2019. SPTF decided to review this request in more depth because rather than being concentrated on a specific topic, as most of the proposals for the new Sister Projects are, Wikispore has the potential to nurture multiple start-up Sister Projects.

After careful consideration, the SPTF has decided not to recommend Wikispore as a Wikimedia Sister Project. Considering the current activity level, the current arrangement allows better flexibility and experimentation while WMF provides core infrastructural support.

We acknowledge the initiative's potential and seek community input on what would constitute a sufficient level of activity and engagement to reconsider its status in the future.

As part of the process, we shared the decision with the Wikispore community and invited one of its leaders, Pharos, to an SPTF meeting.

Currently, we especially invite feedback on measurable criteria indicating the project's readiness, such as contributor numbers, content volume, and sustained community support. This would clarify the criteria sufficient for opening a new Sister Project, including possible future Wikispore re-application. However, the numbers will always be a guide because any number can be gamed.

We chose to review Wikinews among existing Sister Projects because it is the one for which we have observed the highest level of concern in multiple ways.

Since the SPTF was convened in 2023, its members have asked for the community's opinions during conferences and community calls about Sister Projects that did not fulfil their promise in the Wikimedia movement.[1][2][3] Wikinews was the leading candidate for an evaluation because people from multiple language communities proposed it. Additionally, by most measures, it is the least active Sister Project, with the greatest drop in activity over the years.

While the Language Committee routinely opens and closes language versions of the Sister Projects in small languages, there has never been a valid proposal to close Wikipedia in major languages or any project in English. This is not true for Wikinews, where there was a proposal to close English Wikinews, which gained some traction but did not result in any action[4][5], see section 5 as well as a draft proposal to close all languages of Wikinews[6].

Initial metrics compiled by WMF staff also support the community's concerns about Wikinews.

Based on this report, SPTF recommends a community reevaluation of Wikinews. We conclude that its current structure and activity levels are the lowest among the existing sister projects. SPTF also recommends pausing the opening of new language editions while the consultation runs.

SPTF brings this analysis to a discussion and welcomes discussions of alternative outcomes, including potential restructuring efforts or integration with other Wikimedia initiatives.

Options mentioned so far (which might be applied to just low-activity languages or all languages) include but are not limited to:

  • Restructure how Wikinews works and is linked to other current events efforts on the projects,
  • Merge the content of Wikinews into the relevant language Wikipedias, possibly in a new namespace,
  • Merge content into compatibly licensed external projects,
  • Archive Wikinews projects.

Your insights and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the future of these projects. We encourage all interested community members to share their thoughts on the relevant discussion pages or through other designated feedback channels.

Feedback and next steps

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

We'd be grateful if you want to take part in a conversation on the future of these projects and the review process. We are setting up two different project pages: Public consultation about Wikispore and Public consultation about Wikinews. Please participate between 27 June 2025 and 27 July 2025, after which we will summarize the discussion to move forward. You can write in your own language.

I will also host a community conversation 16th July Wednesday 11.00 UTC and 17th July Thursday 17.00 UTC (call links to follow shortly) and will be around at Wikimania for more discussions.

Wikidata Item and Property labels soon displayed in Wiki Watchlist/Recent Changes

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

(Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating into your language)

Hello everyone, the Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your Watchlists and Recent Changes lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the Wikidata:Glossary for further explanations.

The upcoming change is scheduled for 17.07.2025, between 1300 - 1500 UTC. The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below: An edit sum entry on Wikidata, labels display alongside their P- and Q-no.'s

These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.

Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.

Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this project task page. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated Talk page.

Migration to Parsoid

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

Read this in another language

Hello everyone! I am glad to inform you that as the next step in the Parser Unification project, Parsoid will soon be turned on as the default article renderer on your wiki. We are gradually increasing the number of wikis using Parsoid, with the intention of making it the default wikitext parser for MediaWiki's next long-term support release. This will make our wikis more reliable and consistent for editors, readers, and tools to use, as well as making the development of future wikitext features easier.

If this disrupts your workflow, don’t worry! You can still opt out through a user preference or turn Parsoid off on the current page using the Tools submenu, as described in the Extension:ParserMigration documentation.

There is more information about our roll-out strategy available, including the testing done before we turn on Parsoid for a new wiki.

To report bugs and issues, please look at our known issues documentation and if you found a new bug please create a phab ticket and tag the Content Transform Team in Phabricator.

Οι προσωρινοί λογαριασμοί θα τεθούν σε λειτουργία σύντομα

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

Γεια σας, είμαστε η ομάδα Ασφάλειας και Ακεραιότητας Προϊόντων του Ιδρύματος Wikimedia. Θα θέλαμε να ανακοινώσουμε ότι σκοπεύουμε να ενεργοποιήσουμε τους προσωρινούς λογαριασμούς σε αυτό το wiki την εβδομάδα της 1ης Σεπτεμβρίου.

Οι προσωρινοί λογαριασμοί λειτουργούν με επιτυχία σε 30 wiki, συμπεριλαμβανομένων πολλών μεγάλων όπως τα γερμανικά, ιαπωνικά και τα γαλλικά. Η αλλαγή που φέρνουν είναι ιδιαίτερα σημαντική για τους συντάκτες που δεν έχουν συνδεθεί, τους οποίους αυτή η λειτουργία έχει σχεδιαστεί για να προστατεύει. Αλλά είναι επίσης σημαντική για μέλη της κοινότητας όπως καθοδηγητές, επιτηρητές και διαχειριστές – οποιονδήποτε που αναιρεί επεξεργασίες, φράζει χρήστες ή αλληλεπιδρά με συντάκτες που δεν έχουν συνδεθεί, ως μέρος της προσπάθειας να διατηρηθούν τα wiki ασφαλή και αξιόπιστα.

Γιατί δημιουργούμε προσωρινούς λογαριασμούς

Τα wiki μας πρέπει να είναι από προεπιλογή ασφαλέστερα για επεξεργασία για συντάκτες που δεν έχουν συνδεθεί. Οι προσωρινοί λογαριασμοί επιτρέπουν στους χρήστες να συνεχίσουν να επεξεργάζονται τα wiki χωρίς να δημιουργήσουν λογαριασμό, αποφεύγοντας παράλληλα τη δημόσια σύνδεση των επεξεργασιών τους με τη διεύθυνση IP τους. Πιστεύουμε ότι αυτό είναι προς το συμφέρον των συντάκτων που δεν έχουν συνδεθεί, οι οποίοι συμβάλλουν σημαντικά στα wiki και οι οποίοι μπορεί αργότερα να δημιουργήσουν λογαριασμούς και να διευρύνουν την κοινότητα των συντακτών, των διαχειριστών και άλλων ρόλων. Παρόλο που τα wiki προειδοποιούν τους συντάκτες που δεν έχουν συνδεθεί ότι η διεύθυνση IP τους θα συσχετιστεί με την επεξεργασία τους, πολλοί άνθρωποι μπορεί να μην καταλαβαίνουν τι είναι μια διεύθυνση IP ή ότι μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί για να τους συνδέσει με άλλες πληροφορίες που τους αφορούν με τρόπους που δεν θα περίμεναν.

Επιπλέον, το λογισμικό και τα εργαλεία διαμεσολάβησης που χρησιμοποιούμε βασίζονται υπερβολικά στην προέλευση του δικτύου (διευθύνσεις IP) για την αναγνώριση χρηστών και μοτίβων δραστηριότητας, ειδικά καθώς οι ίδιες οι διευθύνσεις IP γίνονται λιγότερο σταθερές ως αναγνωριστικά. Οι προσωρινοί λογαριασμοί επιτρέπουν πιο ακριβείς αλληλεπιδράσεις με αποσυνδεδεμένους συντάκτες, συμπεριλαμβανομένων φραγών με περισσότερη ακρίβεια, και μπορούν να βοηθήσουν στον περιορισμό της συχνότητας με την οποία καταλήγουμε ακούσια να αποκλείουμε χρήστες καλή τη πίστει που χρησιμοποιούν τις ίδιες διευθύνσεις IP με κακόπιστους χρήστες.

Πώς λειτουργούν οι προσωρινοί λογαριασμοί

Κάθε φορά που ένας αποσυνδεδεμένος χρήστης δημοσιεύει μια επεξεργασία σε αυτό το wiki, θα δημιουργείται ένα cookie στο πρόγραμμα περιήγησης αυτού του χρήστη και θα δημιουργείται αυτόματα ένας προσωρινός λογαριασμός συνδεδεμένος με αυτό το cookie. Το όνομα αυτού του λογαριασμού θα ακολουθεί το μοτίβο: ~2025-12345-67 (μια κατσαρή παύλα, το τρέχον έτος, ένας αριθμός). Σε σελίδες όπως οι Πρόσφατες αλλαγές ή το ιστορικό σελίδας, θα εμφανίζεται αυτό το όνομα. Το cookie θα λήξει 90 ημέρες μετά τη δημιουργία του. Όσο υπάρχει, όλες οι επεξεργασίες που γίνονται από αυτή τη συσκευή θα αποδίδονται σε αυτόν τον προσωρινό λογαριασμό. Θα είναι ο ίδιος λογαριασμός ακόμα και αν αλλάξει η διεύθυνση IP, εκτός αν ο χρήστης διαγράψει τα cookie του ή χρησιμοποιήσει διαφορετική συσκευή ή πρόγραμμα περιήγησης. Ένα αρχείο με τη διεύθυνση IP που χρησιμοποιήθηκε κατά τη στιγμή κάθε επεξεργασίας θα αποθηκεύεται για 90 ημέρες μετά την επεξεργασία. Ωστόσο, μόνο ορισμένοι συνδεδεμένοι χρήστες θα μπορούν να το δουν.

Τι σημαίνει αυτό για τις διάφορες ομάδες χρηστών;

Για αποσυνδεδεμένους συντάκτες

  • Αυτό αυξάνει την ιδιωτικότητα: επί του παρόντος, εάν δεν χρησιμοποιείτε έναν εγγεγραμμένο λογαριασμό για να επεξεργαστείτε, τότε όλοι μπορούν να δουν τη διεύθυνση IP για τις επεξεργασίες που κάνατε, ακόμη και μετά από 90 ημέρες. Αυτό δεν θα είναι πλέον δυνατό σε αυτό το wiki.
  • Εάν χρησιμοποιείτε έναν προσωρινό λογαριασμό για να επεξεργαστείτε από διαφορετικές τοποθεσίες κατά τη διάρκεια των τελευταίων 90 ημερών (για παράδειγμα, από το σπίτι και από καφετέρια), το ιστορικό επεξεργασίας και οι διευθύνσεις IP για όλες αυτές τις τοποθεσίες θα καταγράφονται πλέον μαζί, για τον ίδιο προσωρινό λογαριασμό. Οι χρήστες που πληρούν τις σχετικές προϋποθέσεις θα μπορούν να δουν αυτά τα δεδομένα. Εάν αυτό δημιουργεί προβλήματα προσωπικής ασφάλειας για εσάς, παρακαλούμε επικοινωνήστε με το talktohumanrights στο wikimedia.org για συμβουλές.

Για μέλη της κοινότητας που αλληλεπιδρούν με αποσυνδεδεμένους συντάκτες

  • Ένας προσωρινός λογαριασμός συνδέεται μοναδικά με μια συσκευή. Συγκριτικά, μια διεύθυνση IP μπορεί να μοιράζεται σε διαφορετικές συσκευές και άτομα (για παράδειγμα, διαφορετικά άτομα στο σχολείο ή στην εργασία μπορεί να έχουν την ίδια διεύθυνση IP).
  • Σε σύγκριση με την τρέχουσα κατάσταση, θα είναι ασφαλέστερο να υποθέσουμε ότι η σελίδα συζήτησης ενός προσωρινού χρήστη ανήκει μόνο σε ένα άτομο και τα μηνύματα που αφήνονται εκεί θα διαβαστούν από αυτό. Όπως μπορείτε να δείτε στο στιγμιότυπο οθόνης, οι χρήστες προσωρινών λογαριασμών θα λαμβάνουν ειδοποιήσεις. Θα είναι επίσης δυνατό να τους ευχαριστήσετε για τις επεξεργασίες τους, να τους κάνετε ping σε συζητήσεις και να τους προσκαλέσετε να συμμετάσχουν περισσότερο στην κοινότητα.

Για χρήστες που χρησιμοποιούν δεδομένα διεύθυνσης IP για τη διατήρηση και συντήρηση του wiki

  • Για περιπολούντες που παρακολουθούν επίμονους παραβάτες, διερευνούν παραβιάσεις πολιτικών κ.λπ.: Οι χρήστες που πληρούν τις προϋποθέσεις θα μπορούν να αποκαλύπτουν τις διευθύνσεις IP προσωρινών χρηστών και όλες τις συνεισφορές που έχουν γίνει από προσωρινούς λογαριασμούς από μια συγκεκριμένη διεύθυνση IP ή εύρος διευθύνσεων IP (Special:IPContributions). Θα έχουν επίσης πρόσβαση σε χρήσιμες πληροφορίες σχετικά με τις διευθύνσεις IP χάρη στη λειτουργία Πληροφορίες IP. Πολλά άλλα εργαλεία λογισμικού έχουν δημιουργηθεί ή προσαρμοστεί για να λειτουργούν με προσωρινούς λογαριασμούς, όπως το AbuseFilter, οι παγκόσμιες φραγές, τα Global User Contributions και άλλα. (Για πληροφορίες για εθελοντές προγραμματιστές σχετικά με τον τρόπο ενημέρωσης του κώδικα των εργαλείων σας – δείτε το τελευταίο μέρος του μηνύματος.)
  • Για διαχειριστές που αποκλείουν συντάκτες που έχουν αποσυνδεθεί:
    • Θα είναι δυνατό να φράσετε πολλούς χρήστες που κάνουν κατάχρηση απλώς αποκλείοντας τους προσωρινούς λογαριασμούς τους. Ένα άτομο που έχει αποκλειστεί δεν θα μπορεί να δημιουργήσει γρήγορα νέους προσωρινούς λογαριασμούς εάν ο διαχειριστής επιλέξει την επιλογή αυτόματης φραγής.
    • Θα εξακολουθεί να είναι δυνατό να αποκλείσετε μια διεύθυνση IP ή ένα εύρος διευθύνσεων IP.
  • Οι προσωρινοί λογαριασμοί δεν θα εφαρμοστούν αναδρομικά σε συνεισφορές που έγιναν πριν από την ανάπτυξη. Στο Special:Contributions, θα μπορείτε να δείτε τις υπάρχουσες συνεισφορές χρηστών IP, αλλά όχι τις νέες συνεισφορές που έγιναν από προσωρινούς λογαριασμούς σε αυτή τη διεύθυνση IP. Αντ' αυτού, θα πρέπει να χρησιμοποιήσετε το Special:IPContributions για τον σκοπό αυτό.

Τα αιτήματά μας προς εσάς και τα επόμενα βήματα

  • Εάν γνωρίζετε εργαλεία, bots, gadgets κ.λπ. που χρησιμοποιούν δεδομένα σχετικά με διευθύνσεις IP ή είναι διαθέσιμα σε αποσυνδεδεμένους χρήστες, μπορείτε να δοκιμάσετε αν λειτουργούν στο testwiki ή το test2wiki. Εάν είστε εθελοντής προγραμματιστής, διαβάστε την τεκμηρίωσή μας για προγραμματιστές και, ειδικότερα, την ενότητα σχετικά με τον τρόπο με τον οποίο ενδέχεται να χρειαστεί να ενημερώσετε τον κώδικά σας.
  • Αν θέλετε να δοκιμάσετε την εμπειρία του προσωρινού λογαριασμού, για παράδειγμα απλώς για να δείτε πώς είναι, μεταβείτε στο testwiki ή στο test2wiki και επεξεργαστείτε χωρίς να συνδεθείτε.
  • Ενημερώστε μας αν γνωρίζετε τυχόν δυσκολίες που πρέπει να αντιμετωπιστούν. Θα προσπαθήσουμε να βοηθήσουμε και, αν δεν είμαστε σε θέση να το κάνουμε, θα εξετάσουμε τις διαθέσιμες επιλογές.
  • Δείτε το προηγούμενο μήνυμά μας σχετικά με τις απαιτήσεις για χρήστες χωρίς εκτεταμένα δικαιώματα που ενδέχεται να χρειάζονται πρόσβαση σε διευθύνσεις IP.

Για να μάθετε περισσότερα σχετικά με το έργο, ανατρέξτε στις Συχνές Ερωτήσεις – εκεί θα βρείτε πολλές χρήσιμες απαντήσεις. Μπορείτε επίσης να δείτε τις ενημερώσεις (μόλις δημοσιεύσαμε μία) και να εγγραφείτε στο νέο μας ενημερωτικό δελτίο. Αν θέλετε να μιλήσετε μαζί μου (Szymon) εκτός wiki, θα με βρείτε στο Discord και στο Telegram. Ευχαριστούμε!

Invitation to Organize Feminism and Folklore 2026

Dear Wiki Community,

We are pleased to invite Wikimedia communities, affiliates, and independent contributors to organize the Feminism and Folklore 2026 writing competition on your local Wikipedia.

The international campaign will run from 1 February to 31 March 2026 and aims to improve coverage of feminism, women’s histories, gender-related topics, and folk culture across Wikipedia projects.

About the Campaign

Feminism and Folklore is a global writing initiative that complements the Wiki Loves Folklore photography competition. While Wiki Loves Folklore focuses on visual documentation, this writing campaign addresses the gender gap on Wikipedia by improving encyclopedic content related to folk culture and marginalized voices.

What Can Participants Write About?

Communities can contribute by creating, expanding, or translating articles related to:

  • Folk festivals, rituals, and celebrations
  • Folk dances, music, and traditional performances
  • Women and queer figures in folklore
  • Women in mythology and oral traditions
  • Women warriors, witches, and witch-hunting narratives
  • Fairy tales, folk stories, and legends
  • Folk games, sports, and cultural practices

Participants may work from curated article lists or generate new article suggestions using campaign tools.

How to Sign Up as an Organizer

Organizers are requested to complete the following steps to register their community:

  1. Create a local project page on your wiki (see sample)
  2. Set up the campaign using the CampWiz tool
  3. Prepare a local article list and clearly mention:
    • Campaign timeline
    • Local and international prizes
  4. Request a site notice from local administrators (see sample)
  5. Add your local project page and CampWiz link to the Meta project page
Campaign Tools

The Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced tools to support organizers and participants:

  • Article List Generator by Topic – Helps identify articles available on English Wikipedia but missing in your local language Wikipedia. The tool allows customized filters and provides downloadable article lists in CSV and wikitable formats.
  • CampWiz – Enables communities to manage writing campaigns effectively, including jury-based evaluation. This will be the third year CampWiz is officially used for Feminism and Folklore.

Both tools are now available for use in the campaign. Click here to access the tools

Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226)

[επεξεργασία κώδικα]

Hello everyone,

This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as Module:Itemgroup/list).

The Change:
Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property P1846, combined with the qualifier P180: Q19571328.

We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: P14226.

What You Need To Do:
To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from P14226 instead of the old P1846 + P180 structure. A list of pages was generated using Wikimedia Global Search.

Deadline:
We are temporarily retaining the old data on P1846 to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old P1846 statements will be removed after May 1, 2026. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles.

Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic. Thank you for your help! ZI Jony using MediaWiki message delivery (συζήτηση) 17:11, 3 Απρίλ 2026 (UTC)Απάντηση

Συγγνώμη που γράφω στην κοινή νεοελληνική, δε ξέρω ποντιακά, αλλά απ'ότι φαίνεται, δεν υπάρχει αρκετή δραστηριότητα εδώ. Υπάρχει κάποιος ενεργός διαχειριστής για παράδειγμα; Κάποιος ενεργός γραφειοκράτης; Η κύρια σελίδα χρειάζεται σοβαρή ενημέρωση. Missileboi (συζήτηση) 12:51, 1 Σταυρί 2026 (UTC)Απάντηση

Όχι, Missileboi, δυστυχώς δεν υπάρχει επί της ουσίας δραστηριότητα. Κάτι λίγα προσπαθώ εγώ από εδώ και από εκεί ως απλός χρήστης και παράλληλα με την παρουσία μου σε άλλα γλωσσικά εγχειρήματα, αλλά υπάρχουν τρομακτικά κενά σε επίπεδο κώδικα, προτύπων, modules κτλ. που δυσκολεύουν τα πράγματα. Γενικά, φαίνεται πως το εγχείρημα - οπτικά τουλάχιστον - έχει μείνει στην εικόνα που είχε... προ 15 αν όχι παραπάνω ετών. Και δεν νομίζω πως μπορούν να γίνουν και πολλά γιατί λείπουν βασικά scripts κώδικα που θεωρούνται σήμερα αν όχι σε όλα σίγουρα στα περισσότερο υπόλοιπα γλωσσικά εγχειρήματα της Βικιπαίδειας. ΥΓ. Ίσως να μπορούσαν να γίνουν προσπάθειες επικοινωνίας με ποντιακούς συλλόγους ή το σχετικό τμήμα σπουδών του ΑΠΘ πχ. νομίζω θα μπορούσε να υπάρχει κάποιο ενδιαφέρον. 🏺ⲈⲨⲐⲨⲘⲈⲚⲎⲊ🏛️ ⲱⲑⲏⲥⲁⲧⲉ 19:33, 13 Σταυρί 2026 (UTC)Απάντηση
Ισχύει πράγματι αυτό, μόνο οι συνάδελφοι μας στο Meta συνεισφέρουν μόνο στο να αποτρέπουν βανδαλισμούς. Λόγω των αιτιών αυτών, δεν ξέρω αν γίνεται να ξαναπροσελκύσουμε ενδιαφέρον για την Ποντιακή Βικιπαίδεια. Γενικότερα για τις ελληνικές διαλέκτους δεν υπάρχει τόση μεγάλη δραστηριότητα, αλλά ούτε και το ενδιαφέρον για να την διατηρήσει. Υπάρχει κάποιος στο Incubator που προσπαθεί να ανοίξει τσακωνική ΒΠ, αλλά δεν έχει ποιωτικές σελίδες ώστε να μπορέσει να λάβει την κατάλληλη έγκριση.
Πιστεύω πως η ποντιακή ΒΠ έχει κάποιο ώφελος ύπαρξης για την ποντιακή κοινότητα, αλλά δεν φαίνεται να υπάρχει το ενδιαφέρον να τη διατηρήσει. Δε θα με θαύμαζε αν γινόταν κάποτε μόνο για ανάγνωση, όπως έγινε με τα ελληνικά Βικινέα. Missileboi (συζήτηση) 19:44, 13 Σταυρί 2026 (UTC)Απάντηση
Όμως, Missileboi, θεωρώ προσωπικά πως τα εγχειρήματα αυτά θα επέτρεπαν τη συντήρηση, διατήρηση, διαφύλαξη κ.ο.κ. των διαλέκτων αυτών. Γι'αυτό και το κρίμα. Θα ήταν κρίμα να χαθούν. Η Βικιπαίδεια προσφέρει το εχέγγυο πως - τουλάχιστον για την ώρα - δεν φαίνεται να υπάρχει πιθανότητα κλεισίματος στον ορίζοντα, δηλαδή τις βάσεις για να αφιερωθεί κάποιος που το επιθυμεί στην ίδια την ουσία της συνεισφοράς καθαρού περιεχομένου. Ναι, τα ποντιακά υπολείπονται κατά πολύ άλλων διαλέκτων ανά την Ευρώπη, όμως δεν είναι και της ντροπής. Δηλαδή, υπάρχει μια βάση, μια μαγιά, πάνω στην οποία μια ομάδα θα ανθρώπων θα μπορούσε να βασιστεί για να χτίσει κάτι ωραίο, κάτι όμορφο. Γιατί όχι θεματολογικά επικεντρωμένα στα του Πόντου. Ένας τρόπος να συντηρηθούν ήθη, έθιμα και παραδόσεις στα ίδια τα ποντιακά. Φρέσκα μυαλά, όρεξη, θετική διάθεση και πάνω απ'όλα μεράκι χρειάζεται... Ίσως σε πιο νεανικό και εξοικειωμένο με την τεχνολογία κοινό; 🏺ⲈⲨⲐⲨⲘⲈⲚⲎⲊ🏛️ ⲱⲑⲏⲥⲁⲧⲉ 20:03, 13 Σταυρί 2026 (UTC)Απάντηση
ΥΓ. Πρωτοβουλίες εκμάθησης ποντιακών, τσακωνικών κτλ. δεν υπάρχουν; Θα μπορούσε, ίσως, να γίνει κάτι εκεί. 😕🤷🏻‍♂️ 🏺ⲈⲨⲐⲨⲘⲈⲚⲎⲊ🏛️ ⲱⲑⲏⲥⲁⲧⲉ 20:04, 13 Σταυρί 2026 (UTC)Απάντηση
Πράγματι συμφωνώ πως είναι κρίμα να χαθεί, αλλά σ'αυτήν την κατάσταση, χωρίς ενδιαφέρον γι'αυτήν, δε γίνεται να συνεχίσει.
Πράγματι χρειάζονται περισσότερες πρωτοβουλίες για τις διαλέκτους (ποντιακά, κατωιταλικά κ.α.), δηλαδή, να υπάρχουν διδακτικά εγχειρίδια (π.χ. για τα κατωιταλικά υπάρχει το Pos Màtome Griko), κοινότητες ανθρώπων (στο διαδίκτυο και μη, φυσικοί ομιλητές και μαθητές) όπου η γλώσσα να χρησιμοποιείται διαρκώς κλπ. Οι νέοι που προσπαθούν να επανασυνδεθούν με τις πάτριες ρίζες τους, έχοντας γνώση των διαδικτυακών μέσων, ίσως μπορεί να ξανασηκώσουν την ποντιακή ΒΠ, να επικεντρώνεται σε ορισμένα θέματα του Πόντου και των Ποντίων, αλλά και να καλύπτει άλλα θέματα.
Σκεφτόμουν και εγώ να αρχίσω Κατωιταλική ΒΠ στο Incubator, αλλά επειδή δεν έχει κώδικα ISO 639, δεν μπορώ να την αρχίσω. Επίσης θα έπρεπε να βρω και ομιλητές της κατωιταλικής (άκομα οι γνώσεις μου στα κατωιταλικά είναι σχετικά περιορισμένες, αν και είναι η αγαπημένη μου διάλεκτος). Missileboi (συζήτηση) 20:21, 13 Σταυρί 2026 (UTC)Απάντηση
Missileboi, τα τελευταία χρόνια παρατηρείται ένα ενδιαφέρον για πιο "εναλλακτικά" πράγματα (ή και πιο "παραδοσιακά" εάν προτιμάς). Ίσως, με την κατάλληλη σκέψη - brain storming επί του θέματος να μπορούσε να βγει ένα λογικό πλάνο για να "αναζωογονηθεί" η ποντιακή γλωσσική έκδοση της Βικιπαίδειας και - γιατί όχι; - να αποκτήσει ανάλογη έκδοση και η τσακωνική. Την τελευταία την αναφέρω επίτηδες, καθώς κατά καιρούς διαβάζω άρθρα για τις προσπάθειες που γίνονται για τη συντήρηση της γλώσσας και το "πέρασμά" της στις νεότερες γενιές με πλάνο και όρεξη από άτομα. Τώρα, τα ποντιακά είναι άλλη περίπτωση και χρίζουν διαφορετικού χειρισμού. Πάνω κάτω, κάθε "κοιτίδα" ποντιακού πληθυσμιακού στοιχείου φαίνεται να έχει και δικό της τρόπο να λέει κάποια πράγματα. Χωρίς να αναφερθώ και στο δίλημμα ελληνική ή λατινική γραφή, αν και σε αυτό το κομμάτι - δεν είμαι σίγουρος άμα αναφέρω το σωστό γλωσσικό εγχείρημα - η σερβική ή η σερβοκροατική γλωσσική έκδοση έχουν βρει τη "λύση" με διπλή έκδοση σε κυριλλικό και λατινικό αλφάβητο, ώστε όλοι να είναι καλυμμένοι. Τα κατωιταλικά μπορεί, ενδεχομένως, να είναι και σε καλύτερη μοίρα αρκεί να μην τα τσουβαλιάσουμε με τα ίδια τα ελληνικά. 🏺ⲈⲨⲐⲨⲘⲈⲚⲎⲊ🏛️ ⲱⲑⲏⲥⲁⲧⲉ 21:32, 13 Σταυρί 2026 (UTC)Απάντηση
Για το αλφάβητο, είναι ένα θέμα που εξαρτάται από διάλεκτο. Τα τσακώνικα έχουν το ελληνικό, τα κατωιταλικά το λατινικό, κατά βάση της ιταλικής ορθογραφίας, λόγω της απομόνωσής τους από τον υπόλοιπο ελλαδικό χώρο. Τα ποντιακά μπορούν και αυτά να διατηρήσουν το ελληνικό, όπου είμαι υπέρ. Οι περισσότεροι νομίζω χρησιμοποιούν το ελληνικό, αλλά δεν το έχω ψάξει, για να 'μαι ειλικρινής. Τα κατωιταλικά, ναι μεν είναι πιο κοντά στην ΚΝΕ από τα άλλα δύο (ιδιαίτερα το ιδίωμα της Απουλίας), δεν έχουν ξεχωριστό κώδικα ISO, που σημαίνει πως υπάγονται μαζί με την ΚΝΕ και τα ελληνικά ιδιώματα εντός Ελλάδος, ενώ δε θα 'πρεπε να 'ναι έτσι.
Να περάσει και η τσακωνική στην επόμενη γενιά και γίνεται το ίδιο για την μεθεπόμενη, είναι κρίμα να χαθεί ο γλωσσικός πλούτος της ελληνικής γλώσσας. Και γιατί να μη γίνει το ίδιο με τα ποντιακά, τα κατωιταλικά, τα κρητικά; Missileboi (συζήτηση) 11:05, 14 Σταυρί 2026 (UTC)Απάντηση

Έκανα τώρα αίτηση για χορήγηση δικαιωμάτων διαχειριστή στο Meta, καθώς αν το έκανα εδώ, δεν θα λάμβανα απάντηση. Missileboi (συζήτηση) 11:42, 14 Σταυρί 2026 (UTC)Απάντηση

Υπέρ Αν και εδώ δεν έχει πολλές επεξεργασίες, είναι αξιόπιστος χρήστης με μεγάλη συνεισφορά στο Βικιλεξικό και εδώ και 1 δεκαετία η ποντιακή ΒΠ δεν έχει καθόλου διαχειριστές και καθόλου κίνηση, οπότε θα ήταν μια πολύ καλή ενέργεια για να ξαναζωντανέψει η ποντιακή ΒΠ. ~2026-50759-56 (συζήτηση) 21:34, 20 Σταυρί 2026 (UTC)Απάντηση

Earlier last month, all Wikis were contacted for feedback on our proposal to remove language link changes, this change has already been deployed to Wikisource, Wikibooks, Wikivoyage, Wikiquote, Wikiversity and Wiktionary.

The same change is now being rolled out globally to all Wikipedias on October 13, 07:00 UTC. Editors will no longer see notifications after this time on their Recent Changes and Watchlist when a link to another language version of a page is added, removed, or changed in its Wikidata item (it does not affect language link notifications to the home wiki). There will then be a two-week monitoring period to observe if a reduction of high-volume but low-value notifications takes place, or if higher-value changes become easier to identify. Editors who rely on these notifications should be aware of the change and can share feedback or concerns on the Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects talk page.
Wikidata's own Recent Changes page is not affected as it serves as the repository for these changes.

Please reach out if you have any questions, or if your wiki would like to opt-out, thank you! -- Danny Benjafield (WMDE) (talk) sent via MediaWiki message delivery (συζήτηση) 09:29, 9 Τρυγομηνά 2026 (UTC)Απάντηση
