Global bans policy discussion[edit]

At Requests for comment/Global bans, where you have commented in support of Option 2, a third option has recently been implemented. The first two options did not prove a way for respondents to indicate that they oppose global bans entirely, i.e., that it is not possible to write a meaningful global bans policy that would attract their support. Option 3 is intended to provide that opportunity, and to aid in distinguishing between people who oppose the proposed policy because it requires improvements and those who oppose the proposed policy because no policy permitting global bans should be adopted.

Because the third section was added late by a respondent, it is possible that some people who responded early in the RFC have commented at option 2, but would really prefer to support option 3, or support both. If so, you may voluntarily choose to move your original comment or to or strikethrough your original comment and add new comments. This is a courtesy notice of the change, and there is no requirement that you take any action. WhatamIdoing (talk) 15:47, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Grantmaking Barnstar[edit]

Individual Engagement Grant Barnstar
Thanks for the thoughtful participation in IEG proposal discussions - hope to have your ideas and input again in round 2! Siko (WMF) (talk) 20:48, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Gallery[edit]

Hi,

I really love mode="packed-hover" for galleries. It looks really great and is much better than the ugly normal gallery look. I think this is the best one. Maybe a simple css animation by using -transition, to let it look a bit nicer? I don't know if it's possible, but I'd like it. Wolf Lambert (talk) 18:58, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Brian—I noticed that this patch that you submitted to mediawiki/core was merged today. It looks quite interesting to me, so can you add it to the Future software changes section in the current issue of Tech News? Also, can you point me to a place where I can see it in action? I tried the Beta cluster, but without any satisfactory results… Thanks, odder (talk) 16:58, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot :-) odder (talk) 10:44, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Look how cute. --Nemo 11:46, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Aww. Collaborative discussion without anger and everything! Bawolff (talk) 17:08, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Letter petitioning WMF to reverse recent decitions[edit]

The Wikimedia Foundation recently created a new feature, "superprotect" status. The purpose is to prevent pages from being edited by elected administrators -- but permitting WMF staff to edit them. It has been put to use in only one case: to protect the deployment of the Media Viewer software on German Wikipedia, in defiance of a clear decision of that community to disable the feature by default, unless users decide to enable it.

If you oppose these actions, please add your name to this letter. If you know non-Wikimedians who support our vision for the free sharing of knowledge, and would like to add their names to the list, please ask them to sign an identical version of the letter on change.org.

I'm notifying you because you participated in one of several relevant discussions. -Pete F (talk) 22:01, 20 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Re: minimum standards for technical proposals[edit]

On mailarchive:wikitech-l/2014-October/078993.html: usually I spend deeper care reviewing and commenting proposals which are a) most dangerous, i.e. with some chance of being approved but bad; b) most interesting to comment and review. There is no need to spend time on proposals which are clearly not going anywhere. --Nemo 07:58, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Re phabricator:T49832#1362175, we now discover that WMF Legal was involved; no wonder then the process was unnecessarily secretive and actively harmful. Poor ops... Among other things, a public process would have helped WMF not forget about the official communication venue they told people to watch, i.e. HTTPS. --Nemo 07:25, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes there are good news to spread! phabricator:T92604. --Nemo 20:07, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Woo! Finally. Bawolff (talk) 20:30, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How can we improve Wikimedia grants to support you better?[edit]

Hi! The Wikimedia Foundation would like your input on how we can reimagine Wikimedia Foundation grants to better support people and ideas in your Wikimedia project.

After reading the Reimagining WMF grants idea, we ask you to complete this survey to help us improve the idea and learn more about your experience. When you complete the survey, you can enter to win one of five Wikimedia globe sweatshirts!

In addition to taking the the survey, you are welcome to participate in these ways:

This survey is in English, but feedback on the discussion page is welcome in any language.

With thanks,

Last call for WMF grants feedback![edit]

Hi, this is a reminder that the consultation about Reimagining WMF grants is closing on 8 September (0:00 UTC). We encourage you to complete the survey now, if you haven't yet done so, so that we can include your ideas.

With thanks,

Inspire Campaign on content curation & review[edit]

I've recently launched an Inspire Campaign to encourage new ideas focusing on content review and curation in Wikimedia projects. Wikimedia volunteers collaboratively manage vast repositories of knowledge, and we’re looking for your ideas about how to manage that knowledge to make it more meaningful and accessible. We invite you to participate and submit ideas, so please get involved today! The campaign runs until March 28th.

All proposals are welcome - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive feedback on ideas is welcome - your skills and experience can help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign to improve review and curation tasks so that we can make our content more meaningful and accessible! I JethroBT (WMF) 05:39, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(Opt-out Instructions) This message was sent by I JethroBT (WMF) (talk · contribs) through MediaWiki message delivery.

Through June, we’re organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas focusing on addressing harassment toward Wikimedia contributors. The 2015 Harassment Survey has shown evidence that harassment in various forms - name calling, threats, discrimination, stalking, and impersonation, among others - is pervasive. Available methods and systems to deal with harassment are also considered to be ineffective. These behaviors are clearly harmful, and in addition, many individuals who experience or witness harassment participate less in Wikimedia projects or stop contributing entirely.

Proposals in any language are welcome during the campaign - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign so that we can work together to develop ideas around this important and difficult issue. With thanks,

I JethroBT (WMF) (talk) 17:46, 31 May 2016 (UTC) (Opt-out instructions)[reply]

Thanks for your participation during the Inspire Campaign focused on outreach to outside knowledge networks from February 2017. I'm interested in hearing your experience during the campaign, so if you're able, I invite you to complete this brief survey to describe how you contributed to the campaign and how you felt about participating. I want to improve how campaigns are run, so let me know if there's something that could be done better for next time.

Please feel free to let me know on my talk page if you have any questions about the campaign or the survey. Thanks! I JethroBT (WMF) (talk) 18:34, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Survey link error fixed[edit]

Hi there, there was a error with the Inspire survey link that caused the survey to be shown as expired, but has now been fixed. The link in the above message should now bring you to the survey. Apologies, I JethroBT (WMF) 19:20, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Newsfeed for Wikinews-projects[edit]

Hi! Is the information provided on ticket T172875 sufficient to install the newsfeeds? Livenws (talk) 15:45, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi user:LIVE NIEUWS. Yes, that should be sufficient. We have to wait until Jan 2, as no non-emergency site changes are allowed during winter holidays. Bawolff (talk) 16:31, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Good to know! Thanks :) Livenws (talk) 16:55, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Another question, I saw that WikinewsEN is shown on Google News. Is it possible to do that for WikinewsNL and maybe others also? Do I have to create a Phabricator ticket for this? Livenws (talk) 20:37, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You need to get the language accepted into google news. I'm not exactly sure how that was accomplished last time. I think User:Brian_McNeil might know more details. User:Jalexander-WMF may also know something about it. Once its accepted, you can either use a google news sitemap, or you can ensure that articles have numbers in their url (using the DynamicPageList googlehack=true option which adds ?dpl_id=<number>, on the dynamic page lists on the main page). Bawolff (talk) 03:17, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Emergency response[edit]

Thanks for emergency management, including (but not limited to) shutting API backdoors in numerous Wikimedia accounts. Also, your attitude on IRC can be praised too, and hence this transparent image is awarded to you in recognition of your merit. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 16:00, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Timeless Newsletter • Issue 1[edit]

Newsletter • July 2018

Welcome to the first issue of the Timeless newsletter! This issue is being sent or forwarded to everyone who has at some point expressed an interest in the project, give or take, as well as a couple of other potentially relevant pages, so if you would like to continue (or start) receiving this newsletter directly, please sign up for further updates on the meta page.


The news:

The Timeless grant has been selected for funding, and the project is now underway!

While I've had a somewhat slow start working on the project for health reasons, I'm pleased to announce that everything described in the proposal is now either happening, or on its way to happening.

Current progress:

  • The project now has a hub on Meta to serve as a directory for the various related pages, workboards, and local discussions and help pages. It's probably incomplete, especially with regards to specific language projects that might have local pages for Timeless, so if you know of others, please add them!
  • Outreach: I've been talking to various people and groups directly about skinning, desktop/mobile interfaces, project management, specific component support, and other things, and have begun to compile a very shoddy list of skinning problems and random issues on mw.org based on this. Some of this may inform the direction of this project, or possibly this project will result in building a more proper list that can then be used for other things. We shall see.
  • Some development - task triage, code review, bug fixing, and various rabbit holes involving ...overflows.

General plan for the future:

  • Triage the rest of the workboard.
  • Catch up with all the talkpages and other bug reports that have been left various other places that are not the project workboard
  • Do all the bug fixes/features/other things!
  • Some proposals aimed at Commons and Wikisource in particular (maybe, we'll see)

Essentially, the grant as written shall be carried out. This was the plan, and remains the plan. Timelines remain fuzzy, but while there have been some initial delays, I don't particularly expect the timeline for project as a whole to change a whole lot.

Also, for anyone at Wikimania right now: I am also at Wikimania. Come talk to me in person!

Thank you all for your interest and support thus far!

SVG Translate Community wishlist survey project[edit]

Hello! Thank you for voting for the SVG Translate project that was proposed in the 2017 Wishlist survey. The Community Tech team in the Wikimedia Foundation is beginning to start their work on the project. We're currently looking for feedback on some open questions which will allow us to come up with preliminary designs for the tool. If you are interested in being involved, you can watch the project page and join in the discussions on the talk page. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and learning from your experiences. Thank you. -- NKohli (WMF), Product Manager, Community Tech (talk) 21:53, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Community Wishlist Survey[edit]

Hi,

You get this message because you’ve previously participated in the Community Wishlist Survey. I just wanted to let you know that this year’s survey is now open for proposals. You can suggest technical changes until 11 November: Community Wishlist Survey 2019.

Hello. I'm reaching out to you as you participated in the 2017 Community Wishlist proposal for "Who Wrote That" project (previously known as "Blame Tool"). The Community Tech team is kicking things off on the project and we have an early-stage mockup available for you to look at. I invite you to follow that project page, where I will be posting periodic status updates for the project. You are also welcome to provide your thoughts on the talk page. Thank you. -- NKohli (WMF) (talk) 22:57, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Notification about a grant request[edit]

Hi.

As someone who commented about my grant request (including the talk page) last year requesting funding to create the GlobalWatchlist extension, I thought you might want to know that I have requested another grant to continue development. You can see the new request at Grants:Project/DannyS712/Continued work on GlobalWatchlist extension - if you support this, I hope you'll consider endorsing the request.

My apologies if you were already aware of the new grant request (I sent a similar message to the subscribers of User:DannyS712/Global watchlist/Updates - sorry for any duplicates).

Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 00:43, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed[edit]

You know, you make a fair point. I am an ardent crypto critic but crypto donations could indeed weaken demand for crypto in a roundabout way by generating (minimal) sell pressure 2804:18:1840:29A2:1:0:CC14:F000 10:32, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Videos appears as audio on mw[edit]

Hello Bawolff,
As the developer of mw:Extension:CommonsMetadata, could you take a look at this phabricator ticket :

  • phab:T312554 — Sign language video recordings appear as audio on Commons

The recorded video end up appearing as audio on MediaWiki and we don't know why. We provided logs to inspect for clues where CommonsMetadata shows up. Depending on the scope of your extension, you may have the relevant expertise to point us some relevant avenues to explore.
If not, feel free to inform us of the contrary or to refer this ticket to more relevant developers. Yug (talk) 17:19, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
