Revised Enforcement Draft Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct[edit]
Hello everyone,
The Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines Revisions committee is requesting comments regarding the Revised Enforcement Draft Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC). This review period will be open from 8 September 2022 until 8 October 2022.
The Committee collaborated to revise these draft guidelines based on input gathered from the community discussion period from May through July, as well as the community vote that concluded in March 2022. The revisions are focused on the following four areas:
- To identify the type, purpose, and applicability of the UCoC training;
- To simplify the language for more accessible translation and comprehension by non-experts;
- To explore the concept of affirmation, including its pros and cons;
- To review the balancing of the privacy of the accuser and the accused
The Committee requests comments and suggestions about these revisions by 8 October 2022. From there, the Revisions Committee anticipates further revising the guidelines based on community input.
Find the Revised Guidelines on Meta, and a comparison page in some languages.
Everyone may share comments in a number of places. Facilitators welcome comments in any language on the Revisions Guideline Talk Page. Comments can also be shared on talk pages of translations, at local discussions, or during conversation hours. There are planned live discussions about the UCoC enforcement draft guidelines; please see Meta times and details: Conversation hours
The facilitation team supporting this review period hopes to reach a large number of communities. If you do not see a conversation happening in your community, please organize a discussion. Facilitators can assist you in setting up the conversations. Discussions will be summarized and presented to the drafting committee every two weeks. The summaries will be published here.

UCoC Community Review is Closed[edit]
Thank you for participating in the review of the Revised Enforcement Draft Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC). The UCoC project team and the Revisions Committee appreciate you all taking the time to discuss the guidelines, suggest changes, and ask questions.
This community review period lasted from 8 September 2022 to 8 October 2022.

Invitation to attend “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter” Sessions[edit]
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.

Upcoming vote on the revised Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct[edit]
Hello all,
In mid-January 2023, the Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct will undergo a second community-wide ratification vote. This follows the March 2022 vote, which resulted in a majority of voters supporting the Enforcement Guidelines. During the vote, participants helped highlight important community concerns. The Board’s Community Affairs Committee requested that these areas of concern be reviewed.
The volunteer-led Revisions Committee worked hard reviewing community input and making changes. They updated areas of concern, such as training and affirmation requirements, privacy and transparency in the process, and readability and translatability of the document itself.
The revised Enforcement Guidelines can be viewed here, and a comparison of changes can be found here.
How to vote?
Beginning January 17, 2023, voting will be open. This page on Meta-wiki outlines information on how to vote using SecurePoll.
Who can vote?
The eligibility requirements for this vote are the same as for the Wikimedia Board of Trustees elections. See the voter information page for more details about voter eligibility. If you are an eligible voter, you can use your Wikimedia account to access the voting server.
What happens after the vote?
Votes will be scrutinized by an independent group of volunteers, and the results will be published on Wikimedia-l, the Movement Strategy Forum, Diff and on Meta-wiki. Voters will again be able to vote and share concerns they have about the guidelines. The Board of Trustees will look at the levels of support and concerns raised as they look at how the Enforcement Guidelines should be ratified or developed further.

מיון בקטגוריה לא וודאית[edit]

- פעמי-עליון, הכללים בוויקישיתוף שונים מאשר בוויקיפדיה. מטרת המיזם שונה. במקרה שציינת עדיף להוסיף את שתי הקטגוריות כדי שמשתמשים משני הצדדים יוכלו להחשף לקובץ המדיה. -- Geagea (talk) 19:08, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

Seeking volunteers for the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct process[edit]
Hello,
As follow-up to the message about the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines by Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Vice Chair, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, I am reaching out about the next steps. I want to bring your attention to the next stage of the Universal Code of Conduct process, which is forming a building committee for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). I invite community members with experience and deep interest in community health and governance to nominate themselves to be part of the U4C building committee, which needs people who are:
- Community members in good standing
- Knowledgeable about movement community processes, such as, but not limited to, policy drafting, participatory decision making, and application of existing rules and policies on Wikimedia projects
- Aware and appreciative of the diversity of the movement, such as, but not limited to, languages spoken, identity, geography, and project type
- Committed to participate for the entire U4C Building Committee period from mid-May - December 2023
- Comfortable with engaging in difficult, but productive conversations
- Confidently able to communicate in English
The Building Committee shall consist of volunteer community members, affiliate board or staff, and Wikimedia Foundation staff.
The Universal Code of Conduct has been a process strengthened by the skills and knowledge of the community and I look forward to what the U4C Building Committee creates. If you are interested in joining the Building Committee, please either sign up on the Meta-Wiki page, or contact ucocproject
wikimedia.org by May 12, 2023. Read more on Meta-Wiki.

בקשת מחיקה[edit]
הי, בעבר ביקשתי למחוק את הקובץ הזה. קיבלתי סירוב. האדם המצולם בו, עודד, יצר איתי שוב קשר וביקש ממני באופן חד משמעי ומפורש להסיר את התמונה. טעיתי בשיקול הדעת כשהעלתי אותה וזה לא היה על דעתו. אשמח לסיוע מיידי שלכם בנושא, כיוון שהוא עומד, להבנתי, בתנאים המוסריים למחיקה, ואני מסתבך עם האופן הטכני בו אני אמור לבקש מחיקה. תודה. אורי ברקת (talk) 13:56, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
- אורי ברקת, על מחיקת קבצים תוכל לקרוא בדף Commons:Deletion requests. מצטער אבל מעבר לזה אין לי במה לעזור, אני לא מנוסה בכך כלל. פעמי-עליון (talk) 17:54, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Announcing the new Elections Committee members[edit]
Hello there,
We are glad to announce the new members and advisors of the Elections Committee. The Elections Committee assists with the design and implementation of the process to select Community- and Affiliate-Selected trustees for the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. After an open nomination process, the strongest candidates spoke with the Board and four candidates were asked to join the Elections Committee. Four other candidates were asked to participate as advisors.
Thank you to all the community members who submitted their names for consideration. We look forward to working with the Elections Committee in the near future.

Review the Charter for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee[edit]
Hello all,
I am pleased to share the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct work. The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) draft charter is now ready for your review.
The Enforcement Guidelines require a Building Committee form to draft a charter that outlines procedures and details for a global committee to be called the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). Over the past few months, the U4C Building Committee worked together as a group to discuss and draft the U4C charter. The U4C Building Committee welcomes feedback about the draft charter now through 22 September 2023. After that date, the U4C Building Committee will revise the charter as needed and a community vote will open shortly afterward.
Join the conversation during the conversation hours or on Meta-wiki.
Best,
RamzyM (WMF), on behalf of the U4C Building Committee, 15:35, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
הוויקיפדיה בשפה שלכם תהיה זמינה לקריאה בלבד בקרוב[edit]
לקרוא את ההודעה הזאת בשפה אחרת • Please help translate to your language
קרן ויקימדיה בודקת את המעבר בין מרכזי הנתונים הראשי והמשני שלה. זה יוודא שוויקיפדיה ואתרי הוויקי הנוספים של ויקימדיה יוכלו להישאר זמינים גם לאחר אסון. כדי לוודא שהכול עובד כשורה, מחלקת הטכנולוגיה של ויקימדיה צריכה לערוך בדיקה מתוכננת. הבדיקה תַראה האם ניתן לעבור ממרכז נתונים אחד למרכז נתונים אחר בצורה אמינה. זה דורש מצוותים רבים להתכונן לקראת הבדיקה ולהיות זמינים לתיקון בעיות בלתי־צפויות.
כל התעבורה תועבר ב20 בספטמבר. הבדיקה תתחיל ב־ 14:00 UTC (16:00 שעון ישראל).
לרוע המזל, עקב מגבלות מסוימות במדיה־ויקי, כל העריכות חייבות להיפסק במהלך המעבר. אנו מצטערים על ההפרעה, ופועלים לצמצמם אותה בעתיד.
יהיה ניתן לקרוא, אך לא לערוך, את כל אתרי הוויקי למשך זמן קצר.
- לא יהיה אפשר לערוך למשך שעה לכל היותר ביום רביעי 20 בספטמבר 2023.
- במקרה של ניסיון לערוך או לשמור במהלך זמן זה, תראו הודעת שגיאה. אנו מקווים שלא יאבדו עריכות במהלך דקות אלו, אך אנו לא יכולים להבטיח זאת. אם מוצגת לך הודעת השגיאה, יש להמתין עד שהכול חוזר לשגרה. אז יהיה אפשר לשמור את העריכה שלך. אבל אנו ממליצים להכין העתק של השינויים שלך לפני כן, ליתר ביטחון.
השפעות אחרות:
- משימות רקע יואטו וחלקן עלולות להיפסק. קישורים אדומים עשויים להתעדכן לאט מהרגיל. במקרה של יצירת ערך שכבר מקושר במקום אחר, הקישור יישאר אדום לזמן ארוך מהרגיל. כמה סקריפטים בעלי זמן־ריצה ארוך ייאלצו להיפסק.

(New) Feature on Kartographer: Adding geopoints via QID[edit]
Since September 2022, it is possible to create geopoints using a QID. Many wiki contributors have asked for this feature, but it is not being used much. Therefore, we would like to remind you about it. More information can be found on the project page. If you have any comments, please let us know on the talk page. – Best regards, the team of Technical Wishes at Wikimedia Deutschland

Do you use Wikidata in Wikimedia sibling projects? Tell us about your experiences[edit]
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?[edit]
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)

בקשה להרשאת AWB[edit]
היי Geagea, בזמן האחרון אני נתקל ביותר ויותר קבוצות של מאות קבצים שלא נמצאים בקטגוריות המתאימות להם (בעיקר קבצים מאתר גאליקה), שאין לי אפשרות להכניס אותם לקטגוריות המתאימות בצורה ידנית, אז ביקשתי ב־Commons:Requests for rights הרשאה ל־AWB. הבקשה בסדר? צריך להוסיף לה משהו (נניח ידע בתכנות)? פעמי-עליון (talk) 18:58, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
- פעמי-עליון, יש לנו שני כלים נוספים בנושא הזה והם פתוחים לכולם. הראשון הוא cat-a-lot. וכלי Visual File Change. ההבדל בינו לבין AWB הוא שהאחרון פועל כבוט ומי שבהגדרות שלו סימן שלא יציג כעריכות בוט. העריכות הללו לא יופיעו לו ברשימת המעקב. בכל אופן, אני לא יודע אם מדובר בידע בתכנות אבל צריך איזשהו מושג בתוכנה הזו. אין דרישה להציג הבנה בתוכנה. ההנחה היא שאם אתה מבקש אז יש לך מושג. אלא אם מישהו ישאל באופן מפורש. -- Geagea (talk) 11:05, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
- תודה Geagea. ניסיתי את Visual File Change, נראה לי שהוא עושה את העבודה היטב. תודה! פעמי-עליון (talk) 13:15, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
