Congratulations, Dear Administrator!

Deutsch | English | español | français | italiano | 한국어 | Nederlands | português | Türkçe | русский | العربية | Tiếng Việt | edit

Congratulations, علاء! You now have the rights of an administrator on Meta-Wiki. Please take a moment to read the Meta:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat, and Meta:Requests for deletion, but also Talk:Spam blacklist and Talk:Interwiki map), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings, or modifications of protected pages. The majority of the actions of administrators can be reversed by the other admins, except for history merges which must thus be treated with particular care. Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikimedia-admin^connect. You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading although it doesn't always completely apply here at Meta. Please also check or add your entry to Meta:Administrators#List of administrators and the Template:List of administrators. You're also allowed to subscribe the metawiki admins private mailing list. Again, congratulations and welcome to the team. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 17:46, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

Growth team newsletter #13

Welcome to the thirteenth newsletter from the Growth team!

The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.

Join the conversation: structured tasks

Sketch of an idea for a structured workflow for adding links to an article. The goal is to help newcomers edit at high volume.

We are looking for community input on a new project to make it easy for newcomers to make real article edits.

In our previous newsletter, we talked about the productive edits coming from the newcomer tasks feature. Those good results have continued: about 900 newcomers made over 5,000 suggested edits so far. We've learned that newcomers are interested in receiving suggested edits.

Now, we are thinking about how to supply them a feed of easy edits that will help more of them be successful quickly. We have a new idea called "structured tasks". This would aim to break down edits into steps that are easy for newcomers and easy on mobile devices.

In the past, certain kinds of editing tasks have been structured. For instance, adding categories through HotCat. Now, we are thinking about how to structure the editing of articles. The goal is to allow newcomers can make large content additions, especially from their mobile devices.

Please visit the project page and respond to the discussion questions listed on the talk page. You are welcome to show this project to others in your community. You can help by translating the materials to your language so that more voices can join in. We will be having this conversation until June 18.

Expanding to more wikis

We have expanded to six new wikis, and are looking for more interested communities.

In the last two months, we deployed Growth features to six new wikis: Ukrainian, Serbian, Hungarian, Armenian, and Basque Wikipedias, and French Wiktionary. Newcomers from these wikis have already contributed over 600 edits through Growth features.

We want to expand to more wikis in the coming months, and we are looking for interested communities. French Wikipedia already agreed and will be the next one to join the experiment. We will contact several other wikis in the coming weeks to offer them to participate.

Do you think the Growth Team features would be a good addition to your wiki? Please see this translatable summary of Growth features. You can share with your communities and start a discussion. Then, please contact us to begin the process!

Other updates

39 topics are now available for newcomer tasks

Work continues on improving newcomer tasks and the homepage.

• In March, we deployed an upgrade to the topic matching in newcomer tasks. The current version offers 39 different topics using new ORES models.
• In April, we completed an A/B test of two homepage configurations. We learned that more newcomers will attempt suggested edits if the module is made more prominent. We are implementing those learnings in our next test. See the full results here.
• We are currently working on guidance for newcomer tasks. It will use the help panel to guide newcomers through completing easy edits.
• Our next step is to create new configurations of the homepage. The goal is to encourage more newcomers to begin doing suggested edits.

As usual, we are still welcoming your feedback and questions about our features. Please contact us on the project talk page!

Global block

Hi. Could you globally block Special:Contributions/2600:8800:3980:FA1:0:0:0:0/64? This is the same user as Special:Contributions/2600:8800:3980:2550:0:0:0:0/64. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:08, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello @NinjaRobotPirate: done. Thanks --Alaa :)..! 12:17, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you again, but Special:Contributions/98.180.168.253 is the same editor. See, for example, lb:Special:Diff/2150943 and lb:Special:Diff/2280472. I'm pretty sure that all of the edits on en:Special:Contributions/98.180.160.0/20 are the same editor. The user agent is a bit generic, but all the edits are to same topics. If you do a range block, please make it anon-only; there are a couple innocent people on this range on English Wikipedia. Thanks. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 10:25, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Hey @NinjaRobotPirate: done for 3 months (anon-only block). Thanks--Alaa :)..! 15:02, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

مرحبا أخي علاء، من فضلك هل بالإمكان حذف هذا وهذا علما أني من المحتمل أن أنشئهمها في وقت لاحق؟ وشكرا --Omar2040 (talk) 11:30, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

مرحبًا عزيزي @Omar2040: تم --Alaa :)..! 11:33, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

شكرا جزيلا علاء، سؤال آخر لو سمحت: سوف أطلب تغيير اسمي هل سيستطيع شخص آخر إنشاء حساب بنفس حسابي السابق، وشكرا --Omar2040 (talk) 11:35, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

عفوًا @Omar2040: في أي وقت. لا بتاتًا، لا يمكن لأحد إنشاء الاسم السابق. تحياتي --Alaa :)..! 11:41, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

ممتاز شكرا على المعلومة أخي علاء، من الرائع جدا أن يكون للمجتمع العربي سفير في المشاريع العالمية بالتوفيق ودمت بألف خير --Omar2040 (talk) 11:53, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

New sockpuppet by Ali Suleiman

Hello Alaa,

I've just blocked a dude called Alex bonson90 on fr-wp because they want a page about Ali Suleiman. All yours. Kind regards, - Bédévore (talk) 08:16, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello @Bédévore: Thanks a lot. I found another account also, and now both Locked and documented. Thanks again--Alaa :)..! 09:38, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

استفسار

مرحبا أخي علاء، أتمنى أن تكون بأفضل الأحوال، وأعتذر عن كثرة الأسئلة في الأيام الأخيرة. فقط لدي استفسار يخص تغيير التسمية، قبل سنتين أنشأت حساب بوت لكن لم أشغله بسبب ظروف الحياة الواقعية لكن في المستقبل القريب سأشغله، قبل أيام طلبت تغيير اسمي في صفحة خاص في الميتا وتم تغييره، ثم أردت تغيير اسم بوتي ليطابق اسمي أي إلى Omar2040Bot، قدمت طلب بنفس الطريقة لكن لحد الأن لازال في حالة الانتظار، أرى أنك مغير أسماء عالمي هل بإمكانك النظر في الطلب؟ وأيضا لو سمحت المرجو حذف هذه الصفحة، وشكرا جزيلا --Omar2040 (talk) 11:43, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

مرحبًا عزيزي @Omar2040: أتمنى أن تكون بخير أيضًا، ولا عليك مُرحب بك في أي وقت. تعاملت مع تغيير اسم البوت، وأيضًا حذفت الصفحة. ولكن للتوضيح، بالنسبة للبوت فيما بعد لو شغلته بعدد تعديلاتٍ كبير، لا يمكن إعادة تغيير اسمه وعادةً يُرفض الطلب، لأنه "حساب بوت"، ويطلب منك إنشاء حساب جديد آخر وفقط. النقطة الأخرى، بأني لا أُعتبر مُغير أسماء عالمي، ولكن صلاحية مُضيف تُوفر جميع الصلاحيات الأُخرى، وبالنسبة لمغيري الأسماء العرب فهناك ثلاثة. تحياتي وبالتوفيق --Alaa :)..! 11:59, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

راائع جداا علاء.. محظوظون بوجودك في الموسوعة، شكرا جزيلا ودمت بألف خير --Omar2040 (talk) 12:12, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

شكرًا @Omar2040:، ونحن أيضًا محظوظون بوجودك معنّا وأتمنى أن تستمر، فنحن نحتاج خبرتك في ويكيبيديا العربية بشكلٍ كبير. تحياتي --Alaa :)..! 12:16, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Special:Diff/20216401

Hi, you forgot your username there, should I help you do it?--Hamish 10:49, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello Hamish, sorry and thanks for reminder. fixed --Alaa :)..! 10:55, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

طلب

تحياتي صديقي, يوجد تخريب في ويكيبيديا مصري يتكرر كل فترة من أي بي مختلف يقوم بإضافة تقريباً نفس النص, وأحيانا ينشئ صفحة تحمل عنوان النص التخريبي, حاليا يقوم بتفريغ صفحة مستخدم و استبدالها بنفس المحتوى التخريبي مثل التخريب الذي حصل هنا, هل يمكن عمل شيء يمنع هذا التخريب في المستقبل مثلا إضافة جزء من النص لمرشح الإساءة ؟ أو ما تراه مناسباً. شكراً مقدماً HitomiAkane (talk) 04:20, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

مرحبًا @HitomiAkane: وعذرًا للتأخر بالرد. أحيانًا أتعامل وأنسى الرد للأسف. قمت بمنع الرقم وقتها والتأكد من مرشحات الإساءة كوني بالفعل قبل سنتين تقريبًا قد فعلت عدة مرشحات في ويكيبيديا مصري. هل توقف التخريب أم عاد؟ --Alaa :)..! 13:23, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

@علاء: أولاً شكراً صديقي على التصرف السريع و لاحظته من وقتها و بالفعل توقف التخريب من الأي بي من وقتها, صديقي سؤال آخر متعلق: أعتقد أننا لا نملك صلاحية مسترجع في ويكيبيديا مصري و أحياناً تصادف الظروف أن يكون التخريب بشكل هجمات مستمرة, هل يمكن تفعيل الصلاحية لأنها ستسهل عمليه تصليح التخريبات و هل يمكنني أنا الترشح لها بسبب رفض طلب ترشيح الأدمن الخاص بي, عذراً للإطالة و شكراً لوقتك. HitomiAkane (talk) 18:53, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

أهلًا @HitomiAkane: عفوًا. بالنسبة لصلاحية "مسترجع"، بدايةً لا توجد صلاحية مسترجع لديكم، وبالتالي يمكنكم طلبها عبر التالي: عليك بفتح نقاشٍ محلي في الميدان (مثل هذا)، ويستمر لمدة تزيد عن 21 يومًا (3 أسابيع)، وأن يشارك أفراد المجتمع بحيث يكون مثلًا هناك 5 مشاركين مؤيدين من المستخدمين النشطين. بعد ذلك، عليك بفتح تذكرة مشابهة لهذه في الفابريكيتور، وسيعملُ المطورون على تنفيذها في أسرع وقت (خصوصًا ظروف الجائحة حاليًا جعلت الجميع خاملًا). ونعم عادةً لن تستطيع الوصول إلى الفابريكيتور وستواجه رسالة خطأ، وربما تُحل المشكلة قريبًا، لذلك عليك بمحاولة الوصول إليه عبر VPN مثلًا أو عبر متصفح TOR مثلًا. تحياتي --Alaa :)..! 21:31, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

@علاء: شكراً صديقي, تم بالفعل فتح النقاش في صالون المناقشة و بالتأكيد سوف أحتاج مساعدتك في بعد الانتهاء من النقاش, شكراً مجدداً لمساعدتك. HitomiAkane (talk) 21:57, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

@HitomiAkane: عفوًا، وبالتوفيق، ويمكنك مراسلتي في أي وقت. تحياتي --Alaa :)..! 21:58, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

مرحبًا @HitomiAkane:، قمت بفتح تذكرة لكم بخصوص صلاحية مسترجع، يمكنك أن تجدها في T258100. رجاءً قم بإنشاء قالب:تابع في لديكم ووضع التذكرة في أعلى النقاش على شاكلة {{تابع في|T258100}}. طبعًا على أمل تفرغ أحد المطورين قريبًا وإنشاء الصلاحية لديكم. تحياتي --Alaa :)..! 19:33, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

@علاء: أولاً شكراً جزيلاً على جهدك, تم إنشاء القالب و إضافته للنقاش, أعذرني لإزعاجك, لكن هل يمكننا إضافة طلب إسناد الصلاحيه للأدمنز المحليين لنوفر خطوه تقديم الطلب في طلبات المضيفين؟ HitomiAkane (talk) 20:11, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

@HitomiAkane: عفوًا في أي وقت. لا حاجة للطلب، ولاحظت تعليقك في الفابريكيتور، ولكن الصلاحية فعلًا تكون مسندة للإداريين تلقائيًا ولا يمنحها المضيفين إلا في حالات تغيب كل الإداريين مثلًا. تحياتي --Alaa :)..! 13:46, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

@علاء: شكراً لك و لجهودك, أتعبتك معي HitomiAkane (talk) 19:27, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

@علاء: شكراً لمساعدتك صديقي, تمت إضافة الصلاحية, أقدر جهودك و متابعتك للموضوع, تحياتي الحارة HitomiAkane (talk) 18:54, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

عفوًا @HitomiAkane: تحياتي وبالتوفيق --Alaa :)..! 19:44, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Cross-wiki sockpuppetry

Hello Ala'a !

I'd like your help because I need to file a RCU for cross-wiki sockpuppetry - I suspect self-promotion. I'm not sure how to do it. Would you please be so kind as to tell me? The accounts are banned on en-wiki and I think they're also working on fr-wiki, de-wiki, simplewiki, etc. How should I write the arguments? Best regards, - Bédévore (talk) 23:18, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello @Bédévore: hope you are doing well. Hope I understand well, that you asking for Cross-wiki CU, if yes, you'd know that stewards can't CU on wikis that have local CUs, especially you mentioned frwiki/dewiki/simplewiki, and on such cases stewards (or frwiki CU for example) send email to CheckUser mailing list and asking for help from local CUs on targeted wikis, or you can open local CU request on each project. And as you see on SRCU that "requesting CheckUser information on a wiki with no local CheckUsers". If you want, you can email me with details and I'll work on it, or at least I can't recommended some CUs (Welcome to help in such cases) on targeted wikis. Best --Alaa :)..! 23:32, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello Ala'a, thanks for the very fast and friendly answer. :) I was hoping we could make a global RCU to implement a global ban since the sockpuppets are active on many wikis. They create articles in several languages, all of them about the same man or related to his business. I wouldn't like to ask RCUs on each wiki to obtain a local ban on each wiki, it would take weeks. How can I do this appropriately? I'll email you the details tomorrow hopefully, you're more familiar than me about all of this. Best regards, - Bédévore (talk) 23:39, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello Ala'a, the accounts targeted are all related to Donald1972, because they use cross-wiki spam for self promotion.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Faux-nez/Donald1972 (= Brederode = Artium72 = Fgach80 = Makagudr651). The accounts are blocked on enwiki : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Donald1972 ; and now, on frwiki. You may want to check who creates all the articles about Matthias Laurenz Gräff and his business cross-wiki : portuguais, italien, slovène, catalan, danois, norvégien, esperanto. You may also want to check who downloaded tons of pictures about the dude and his partner : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Matthias_Laurenz_Gr%C3%A4ff + https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Georgia_Kazantzidu

Best regards, - Bédévore (talk) 14:59, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello @Bédévore: sorry for late.  Working on it now. Thanks --Alaa :)..! 12:08, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Growth team newsletter 14

Welcome to the fourteenth newsletter from the Growth team!

The Growth team's objective is to work on software changes that help retain new contributors in mid-size Wikimedia projects.

Success with guidance

The star on this image is the week we deployed "guidance".

We deployed the "Guidance" feature on June 15.

This feature uses the help panel to explain what to do after selecting a suggested edit. For instance, if a newcomer selects a copyedit task, they are guided on what sorts of errors to look for. They can see examples of how to rewrite the text. You can try this feature on test.wikipedia.org. First enable the homepage and the help panel in your preferences there.

Since we launched "Guidance", the data we collected show good results (see image). Now, we see more users completing suggested edits than before Guidance was deployed.

Structured tasks

Design concept for the "add a link" structured task

Structured tasks is a project that aims to break down editing workflows into a series of steps. We hope newcomers can accomplish these tasks easily.

In the previous newsletter, we asked for feedback from community members on the idea. We had a good discussion in six languages with 35 community members (summary here). We have now posted new design mockups. We hope community members can check the mockups out and react to them (in any language). They are posted along with some of the main questions we are thinking about as we continue to refine our plans.

Other technical updates

Mockup of Variant D of the homepage on desktop.

• We are currently working on Variants C and D (adjacent image) of the homepage. The goal is to increase the number of newcomers who start the newcomer tasks workflow. This is the team's main project at the moment.
• We've made it easier to hide the help panel when not needed. [1]
• The welcome survey has a new question for people who created their account: language skills. The goal is to find out how many newcomers know multiple languages, so that we can learn whether it is a good idea to integrate Content Translation as a newcomer task. To make room for this question, we removed one that is not being used. [2]

Community outreach

• We continue to engage with more communities. We recently deployed the Growth features to Persian, Hebrew, and Russian Wikipedias. Learn more about getting the features.
• If your community is having a remote event, and you are interested in hearing from the Growth team, please contact us! We have already participated to two community events online:
  • The Polish Wikiconference (recording on Google Drive)
  • The Celtic Knot 2020 (video available on Youtube).

Sockpuppetry

Hi Alaa,hope you're doing well

I think that 1, 2 and 3 are sockpuppetry accounts, I've tried to warn the user so many times but he insist on creating the same article on users pages. HitomiAkane (talk) 10:40, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

مرحبًا @HitomiAkane:. شُكرًا لك، لتجنب عدم امتلاكي الوقت أحيانًا، يرجى منك تقديم الطلبات المُشابهة في SRCU ليكون بإمكان جميع المضيفين التعامل مع الطلبات وتقييمها إذا كانت تستحق التدقيق أم لا. تحياتي --Alaa :)..! 12:08, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

تم, شكراً للتوضيح HitomiAkane (talk) 19:31, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

ازالة ملخص التعديل

تحياتي صديقي و عذراً للإزعاج, بما أنني أقوم باسترجاع التعديلات التخريبة أواجه أحياناً تعديلات يفضل حذفها من ملخص التعديل في تاريخ التعديلات مثل هذه, هل حذف ملخص التعديل هو خاص بالإداريين أم يمكن الحصول على الصلاحية؟ HitomiAkane (talk) 19:59, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

مرحبًا @HitomiAkane: الأمر خاص بالإداريين ولا تُوجد صلاحية منفصلة للإخفاء. تحياتي --Alaa :)..! 14:43, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

شكراً صديقي HitomiAkane (talk) 14:46, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

تخريب متكرر

تحياتي صديقي, يوجد تخريب متكرر يتم من عدة IPs و بنطاقات مختلفة كلما تم منع أحدها كمثال 1 2 3 4 التخريب يستخدم نفس العبارات, هل يمكن إضافتها إلى مرشح الإساءة لأن الموضوع أصبح ممل, شكراً مقدماً HitomiAkane (talk) 06:23, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

مرحبًا HitomiAkane، تم وضعته في مرشح إساءة، وأيضًا حذفت جميع التخريب ومنعت رقم الآي بي الحالي. تحياتي --Alaa :)..! 09:35, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

شكراً لك صديقي و عذراً للإزعاجات المتكررة :) , تحياتي HitomiAkane (talk) 09:38, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
