Help wanted for global templates

Hi Matiia,

You showed support for global templates in the past. Staff of the Wikimedia Foundation view this change as big. We need to convince the Wikimedia Foundation to start working on this. We have to reassure them there is sufficient support by local project communities.

You can help move this forward.

Please do setup a page on the local projects you are (most) active on in the language of the project. Tell your fellow editors why you believe global templates are necessary. Follow the local project decision process to come to a discussion outcome as support or not. There is plenty of time for discussion. Please reach a conclusion before the end of April 2021.

Please translate the coordinating page on meta to languages you are proficient in. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Gathering_support_from_local_projects_for_global_templates

Please add a line to this meta page with a link to a discussion page on your local project(s).

The goal is to have the Wikimedia Foundation include a program to develop infrastructure for global templates in their 2021/2022 Annual Plan. The Wikimedia Foundation will decide on the Annual Plan in May/June this year.

The aim is to have several dozen local project communities to show support, and little concerns, issues or objections. Of course, any project can continue to use their local templates.

When you have questions about this initiative you can reach me at adhuikeshoven.org or + 31 6 40293574, and also on Telegram and Signal. You can also raise questions on the talk page on meta. Maybe some people would like to discuss this initiative in a meeting. Please let me know whether you would like to join a Zoom meeting in February.

Regards,

Userbox Make a template

On wikipedia.User box think it would be better to make a template. Because I can only understand Japanese I'm sorry if I made a mistake because of google translate. --6574839201al (talk) 06:58, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

@6574839201al: Hi. Sorry, but I'm not sure I fully understand, could you elaborate or give a link? Rxy or Infinite0694 could you help here? Matiia (talk) 01:52, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

I'll help you as much as I can. Can you give me more details? --Infinite0694 (Talk) 02:44, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

• • Some Wikipedia templates user boxes. (Project: After getting permission from the user box.) I think that this meta often creates user pages. When it comes to (mainly for global use), I think it's difficult to create a userbox using Template Userbox every time, so I think that the userbox should be templated.--6574839201al (talk) 06:14, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
    • @Infinite0694: it seems there's a language barrier and as you are a ja speaker, I think you can handle this better than me. Matiia (talk) 20:48, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Original account global unlock request

Hello,

I notice you globally locked my original account, Hoggardhigh, more than four years ago. I would now like to have it globally unlocked so I can try to unblock the account at the English Wikipedia. Can you or someone else unlock the account?

Thanks--2603:6081:7840:FA00:C46F:7859:6A6B:EB35 13:26, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

I am not a steward anymore. Please email stewards@wikimedia.org. Matiia (talk) 01:28, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Hola. He procesado tu solicitud. Espero que todo te esté yendo bien. Cuídate. Un abrazo, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 19:20, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

• Hello Matiia. I'm surprised when I saw your resigned. Thank you for your service. I hope you don't have any problem on wiki or in real. --Uncitoyen^talk 20:36, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Not sure what it means in the global sense, though thanks for what you have done. It is never a good sign when stewardry types do this not long after their stewardry. All the best, and hope that you can still find some joy and tasks around the place.  — billinghurst sDrewth 23:34, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Sad to see you go. Hope everything is well with you. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 07:35, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for everything you did in any of your roles. Best wishes, --Martin Urbanec (talk) 09:43, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

I was sadden to see this, but I wish you all the best. Thank you for your work! —Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 00:37, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for your work, hope to see you still around. Stryn (talk) 08:42, 10 September 2021 (UTC)

Thanks all :). I'm good, I'm focusing on the university. Matiia (talk) 18:23, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
