Требуется защита статьи

С 4 февраля анонимы в статье Smeşariki. Naçalo целиком меняют текст на тот, который не имеет никакого отношения к теме статьи (это статья о российском мультфильме, а не о несуществующем узбекском фильме). После моей отмены этих правок они снова возвращают этот текст, который точно не на крымскотатарском языке. Просьба защитить эту статью от редактирования до автоподтверждённых.

Не отображаются некоторые элементы

Почему-то не отображаются некоторые элементы из Викиданных. Переоформл модуль Wikidata, некоторые элементы в шаблонах появились, однако вместо изображения выдаёт ошибку модуля Функция для отображения значения не найдена и не появляются даты рождения и смерти (пример Vladimir Putin и Konstantin Stanükoviç).

Поломка шаблона

Я хотел переформировать шаблон Navbox, чтобы соответствовало стандартам других Википедий. Однако у шаблона случилась поломка (пример). Можете как-то починить? Вольный лев (muzakere) 07:52, 2021 s. mayısnıñ 30 (UTC)

Тесты проводить с шаблоном надо было в своей Песочнице. Или используйте аналог шаблона на русском или англ. Все части загрузить и перевести то что можно, не трогая то, что нельзя. Или обратитесь насчет починки в Рус. Вики - Форум - Технич. проблемы, есть там такой. Аведон (muzakere) 11:10, 2021 s. iyünniñ 28 (UTC)

CEE Spring / Ukraina

Selâm!

Вибачте за допис українською, будь ласка, перекладіть, якщо маєте змогу.

Я бачу, що кримськотатарська спільнота не бере участі в CEE Spring цього року. Втім, українська спільнота підготувала списки про Україну спеціально щодо кримськотатарської Вікіпедії, які будуть корисні і без CEE Spring:

• m:Wikimedia CEE Spring 2021/Structure/Ukraine/Red#crh Crimean Tatar: 10 найважливіших статей, відсутніх у вашій Вікіпедії (червоні посилання). Наприклад, відсутня стаття Ukrainler, хоча в 31 вікі Центральної та Східної Європи ця стаття є.
• m:Wikimedia CEE Spring 2021/Structure/Ukraine/Stubs#crh Crimean Tatar: 10 найважливіших статей, коротких у вашій Вікіпедії (кілька речень). Наприклад, лише одне речення в статті Ukrain tili.

Будь ласка, допоможіть нам зробити цю кампанію успішною, дописуйте та поліпшуйте статті про Україну кримськотатарською! — NickK (muzakere) 14:35, 2021 s. aprelniñ 10 (UTC)

Bay tilimiz

selâm aleykum epimiz bilemiz ki qırımtatar tilimiz ğayet bay ve onı tağı da bayıtmaq içün başqa şivelerni de qullanmağa kerek eň müimi de tuvğan tilimiz qıpçaq negizli bolğanı içün çöl şivemizmen yazılğan maqaleler qoşmağa kerek dep tüşünem ve tilimiz tatar tili qazan tatar ve başqa da Türkiy qıpçaq tillerge daa yaqın bolsa bizim halqımız içün pek yahşı bolır dep ümüt etem vaqıtıňız qayırlı ötsin menim fikirime qol tutqanlar ve oňa kelişgenler bar bolsa tez işke kirişmege kerekmiz çöl şivesimen maqaleler yazıp qoyayıq. --Altai Turan (muzakere) 15:39, 2020 s. dekabrniñ 29 (UTC)

Teklifiñiz edebiy tili ve yazı standartı olmağan tiller içün keçerli. Meselâ, çingenelerniñ umumiy edebiy tili olmağanı içün vikipediyasında çeşit-türlü şivelerinde yazalar. Qırımtatar tiliniñ çoqtan berli edebiy standartı bar. Mekteplerde ögrenilgen, gazeta, televizion, internette qullanılıp turğan bir standattır. Umumiy qabul etilgeni içün vikipediyamızda da bu standart qullanılır. Şiveler - tilniñ baylığıdır, elbette, şivelerde yırlar yırlanır, şiirler, bediiy edebiyat yazılıp olur, amma bir entsiklopediya yazılmaz.

Türkçe vikipediyada "qana, Kündoğuş Anadolu şivesinde maqaleler yazayıq, tilimiz qardaş tilimiz olğan Azericege yaqınlaşsın dep" deseñiz, ne cevap alırsıñız, aceba? Don Alessandro (muzakere) 16:50, 2020 s. dekabrniñ 29 (UTC)

aslında siz de tora aytasız men demek isteyim ki bizim tilimiz bay çünki bir sözge pek çoq türlü şekilde laf ayta bilemiz mesela olmaq - bolmaq

tora - doğru , bay - zengin , üyken - büyük . menim sizge taqdim etkenim şiy bütünley nogayca yazmaq degil ama qıpçaq sözlerini daa çoq qullansaq belki daa yahşı çünki bizim tilimizniñ aslı (negizi) qıpçaq , azerice aqqında aytqan sözüñizge keleyim ebet o da toradır lakin azeriler zaten türk tilini yahşı añlap bile afsus ki bizim tatarlar arasında şulay birdemlik yoq onıñ içün qıpçaq sözlerini tilimizge daa çoq qoşmağa kerek aslında olar tilimizde bolmağan sözler degil bar bolğan sözler ve daa çoq qullanmaq kerek deymen

noğayca yazmayıq elbette noğay şivesinde yazılğan şiylere y arifleri c dep deñiştirile misal cazmaq deyler , men şulay bolsın demeyim ondan soñra ç arifleri ş dep aytıla mesela çıqmaq degil şıqmaq böyle yazmaq yerine qırımtatarca edebiy şivemiznen yazayıq lakin arab fars osmanlı sözleri degil de qıpçaq sözlerini daa çoq qullanayıq deymen --Altai Turan (muzakere) 19:01, 2020 s. dekabrniñ 30 (UTC)

Bir taraftan edebiy tilge orta yolaq şivesi sözlerinden ğayrı başqa şivelerniñ sözleri de kirsetilgen, olarnı da sinonim olaraq serbest qullana bilemiz. Misal içün: bay - zengin, yahşı - eyi - aruv, qoş(ul)maq - qat(ıl)maq, abruy - nufuz, adam - kişi, ög - ald, qadın - apay, aqça - para, kibi - dayın, gizlemek - yaşırmaq, kemik - süyek, qıdırmaq - aramaq, tölemek - ödemek, öz - kendi ve ilâhre.

Amma aynı zamanda bir sözniñ şivelerde tapılıp olğan fonetik variantlarından tek bir danesi edebiy ola: añlamaq (ağnamaq, annamaq degil), degil (dügül, dögül, tuvul degil), böyle (böle, able degil), ağır (avur, avır degil), olmaq (bolmaq degil), maña/saña/oña/buña (mağa/sağa/oğa/boğa, maa/saa degil), bermek (vermek degil), bar (var degil), yüksek (öksek degil), hasta (qasta degil), fikir (pikir degil), qısqa (hısha degil), fırsat (fursat, pırsat degil), kelmek (gelmek degil), ketmek (kitmek, gitmek degil), yol (col degil), yürmek (cürmek degil), cıymaq (yığmaq degil), tiymek (degmek degil), saç (çaç, şaş degil), çıqarmaq (şığarmaq degil) ve ilâhre.

Grammatik formalardan da umumiy olaraq tek bir danesi edebiy dep qabul etilir: yaza (yazıy degil), yazam (yazaman degil), keterim (ketermen degil), yaparmız (yaparıq degil), yazğan (yazan, yazmış degil), evge (eve degil), evniñ (eviñ degil), qollarını (qolların degil), barmı? (barım? degil). Ğaliba, tek bir istisna - em -ma/-me (diñleme, yapma, kelme), em de -v/-uv/-üv (diñlev, yapuv, kelüv) masdarları edebiydir.

Qısqası: edebiy tilde (şivelerde tapılıp olğan) tamırları farqlı olıp bir manağa kelgen em qıpçaqça, em oğuzca, em arapça-farsça sözler serbest qullana bilemiz (qıdırmaq - aramaq, süyek - kemik kibi), amma aynı bir sözniñ (yani bir tamırnıñ) fonetik ve grammatik variantlarından tek bir edebiy soyu qullanılıp ola.

«Вики любит футбол»

С 12 июня по 12 июля будет проходить вики-марафон «Вики любит футбол 2020». Именно в эти сроки должны были пройти два крупнейших континентальных футбольных турнира — Евро-2020 и Кубок Америки 2020. Однако из-за коронавируса оба турнира были перенесены на 2021 год. Объявляя этот конкурс, википедисты намерены выразить свою солидарность с футбольным сообществом, а также восполнить пробелы, связанные с футбольной тематикой — особенно в разделах на языках народов России. Марафон организован НП «Викимедиа РУ», Группой «Викимедийцы Башкортостана», Группой участников-википедистов Северного Кавказа, Группой «Викимедийцы, пишущие на эрзянском языке», Группой татароязычных участников сообщества Викимедиа. Мы приглашаем участников Крымскотатарской Википедии принять участие в конкурсе. Одни из главных целей конкурса — расширение сотрудничества между разделами Википедии на языках России и обеспечение устойчивого развития проектов Викимедиа на территории Российской Федерации.

Proposal: Set two-letter project shortcuts as alias to project namespace globally

Please help translate to your language

Hello everyone,

I apologize for posting in English. I would like to inform everyone that I created a new global request for comment (GRFC) at Meta Wiki, which may affect your project: m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally.

In this GRFC, I propose that two-project shortcuts for project names will become a default alias for the project namespace. For instance, on all Wikipedias, WP will be an alias to the Wikipedia: namespace (and similar for other projects). Full list is available in the GRFC.

This is already the case for Wikivoyages, and many individual projects asked for this alias to be implemented. I believe this makes it easier to access the materials in the project namespace, as well as creating shortcuts like WP:NPOV, as well as helps new projects to use this feature, without having to figure out how to request site configuration changes first.

As far as I can see, Vikipediya currently does not have such an alias set. This means that such an alias will be set for you, if the GRFC is accepted by the global community.

I would like to ask all community members to participate in the request for comment at Meta-Wiki, see m:Requests for comment/Set short project namespace aliases by default globally.

Please feel free to ask me if you have any questions about this proposal.

Best regards,
--Martin Urbanec (talk) 14:12, 2021 s. fevralniñ 18 (UTC)

Global bot policy changes

Hello!

I apologize for sending a message in English. Please help translate to your language. According to the list, your wiki project is currently opted in to the global bot policy. As such, I want to let you know about some changes that were made after the global RfC was closed.

• Global bots are now subject to a 2 week discussion, and it'll be publicized via a MassMessage list, available at Bot policy/New global bot discussion on Meta. Please subscribe yourself or your wiki if you are interested in new global bots proposals.
• For a bot to be considered for approval, it must demonstrate it is welcomed in multiple projects, and a good way to do that is to have the bot flag on at least 5 wikis for a single task.
• The bot operator should make sure to adhere to the wiki's preference as related to the use of the bot flag (i.e., if a wiki doesn't want a bot to use the flag as it edits, that should be followed).

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,
—Thanks for the fish! ^{talk•contribs} 18:48, 2021 s. aprelniñ 6 (UTC)

Crimean Tatar peoples

You might be very concerned to hear about the concerted efforts from malicious actors to erase information about the existance of the branches of the Crimean Tatar nation. Several years ago on Russian Wikipedia when articles were created about the Coastal and Steppe peoples, they were nominated for deletion by a POV pusher who insisted that these peoples were not real and never were real. Now, on English Wikipedia, a different user account (same person?) unilaterally redirected the articles about the different subethnos that had articles (Yaliboylu and Tat) and claimed that they are unworthy of articles. I am blocked on enwiki, but I strongly feel that this extremely chauvistic behavior must be dealt with, since nations that have been rendered nearly extinct through genocide and forced assimilation need to be remembered instead of being thrown in the dustbin of history so that chauvanists can rewrite the origin story of the great Crimean Tatar nation.--PlanespotterA320 (muzakere) 14:04, 2022 s. oktâbrniñ 29 (UTC)

Your wiki will be in read only soon

Read this message in another language • Please help translate to your language

The Wikimedia Foundation tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.

All traffic will switch on 1 March. The test will start at 14:00 UTC.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.

You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.

• You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Wednesday 1 March 2023.
• If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

Other effects:

• Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
• We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.
• GitLab will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.

This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. Please share this information with your community.

MinT Machine Translation enabled and plans to deploy Content and Section Translation in Crimean Tatar Wikipedia

Hello Crimean Wikipedians!

Apologies as this message is not in your language, ⧼Please help translate⧽ to your language.

The WMF Language team has added a machine translation (MT) system supporting Content Translation for the first time in your Wikipedia called MinT; you can use MinT machine translation when translating Wikipedia articles using the Content Translation tool.

The WMF Language team provides the MinT service. It is hosted in the Wikimedia Foundation Infrastructure with neural machine translation models that other organizations have released with an open-source license. MinT integrates translation based on NLLB-200 and OpusMT and will replace those as separate options. This MT will be set as default in your Wikipedia. Still, you can choose not to use it by selecting "Start with empty paragraph" from the "Initial Translation" dropdown menu.

Since MinT is hosted in the WMF Infrastructure and the models are open source, it adheres to Wikipedia's policies about attribution of rights, your privacy as a user and brand representation. You can find more information about the MinT Machine translation and the models on this page.

Please note that the use of the MinT MT is not compulsory. However, we would want your community to:

• use it to improve the quality of the Machine Translation service
• please provide feedback about the service and its quality, and ask questions about this addition.

Plans to deploy the Content and Section translation tool

Now that you have Machine Translation support in your Wikipedia, We will enable the Content and Section translation by default to your Wikipedia if there are no objections from your community.

The Section Translation extends the capabilities of Content Translation to support mobile devices. On mobile, the tool will:

• Guide you to translate one section at a time in order to expand existing articles or create new ones
• Make it easy to transfer knowledge across languages anytime from your mobile device

After enabling it, we’ll monitor the content created with the tools and process all the feedback. In any case, feel free to try the current implementation of the Section Translation tool in our testing instance and raise any concerns or questions you may already have as a reply to this message or on the project talk page

We trust that introducing this MT is a good support to the Content and Section Translation tool once it is enabled.

Thank you!

Deploying the Phonos in-line audio player to your Wiki

Hello!

Apologies if this message is not in your language, ⧼Please help translate⧽ to your language.

This wiki will soon be able to use the inline audio player implemented by the Phonos extension. This is part of fulfilling a wishlist proposal of providing audio links that play on click.

With the inline audio player, you can add text-to-speech audio snippets to wiki pages by simply using a tag:

<phonos file="audio file" label="Listen"/>

The above tag will show the text next to a speaker icon, and clicking on it will play the audio instantly without taking you to another page. A common example where you can use this feature is in adding pronunciation to words as illustrated on the English Wiktionary below.

{{audio|en|En-uk-English.oga|Audio (UK)}}

Could become:

<phonos file="En-uk-English.oga" label="Audio (UK)"/>

The inline audio player will be available in your wiki in 2 weeks time; in the meantime, we would like you to read about the features and give us feedback or ask questions about it in this talk page.

Thank you!

Review the Charter for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee

More languages • Please help translate to your language

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,

Feminism and Folklore 2024

Please help translate to your language

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,

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection

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

More languages • Please help translate to your language

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.

[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.

Plans to enable MinT for Wiki readers in Crimean Tatar Wikipedia

Hello Crimean Tatar Wikipedians!

Apologies as this message is not in your language, Please help translate to your language.

The WMF Language team has been working on MinT for Wiki Readers. This feature will allow communities to access more content that is only available in other languages with machine translation in Wikipedia. We have enabled the initial version of this feature first in Igbo Wikipedia, and your Wikipedia is the next to test and have this feature since it will be beneficial for reading content in other languages. For this, our team would like you to read about the feature and test it so you can:

• Ask us questions
• Tell us how to improve the feature
• Give us your feedback on enabling it in your Wikipedia

About the feature

The MinT for Wiki Readers is a feature that will allow readers of Crimean Tatar Wikipedia to expand their reading options and knowledge beyond the language they are familiar with in Wikipedia. For instance, if someone is interested in a topic or content that only exists in the Japanese language and the person is not familiar with the language. While using the mobile web version of Wikipedia, the reader can access the machine translation version of that content in the Crimean Tatar language from the language selector or the article's footer (as shown in the media files below).

,

These machine-generated translations of content are clearly identified as such, and the human-created content is surfaced and recommended if available.

This feature is in its initial development. It is an early and functional version, and many aspects will be improved based on your community member's feedback on what works and what can be improved to better support your needs as readers.

How to try the tool

Before we enable this feature in your Wikipedia by the 5th July 2024, we invite members of your community to try MinT for Wiki Readers in your Wikipedia at Special:AutomaticTranslation and give us early feedback in this thread or on this talk page. Our team would like to know your impression on:

• How do you use the feature
• Anything we should consider for our plans to enable it?
• Your ideas for improving it.

We greatly appreciate your time and effort in testing this tool. We eagerly look forward to your valuable feedback and questions, which will be instrumental in the further development of this feature. Thank you.

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.

Request for feedback on machine translation support variable provided by Google Translate for your Wikipedia

Hello Crimean Tatar Wikipedians!

Apologies, as this message is not in your language, Please help translate to your language.

Google Translate just introduced machine translation support in Crimean Tatar language. However, Google translate provides translations with Cyrillic script, Crimean Tatar Wikipedia uses both Latin and Cyrillic scripts using a converter, so it is unclear if the variant supported by Google could be useful for your community. Therefore, the WMF Language and Product Localisation team wants to know from members of the Crimean Tatar Wikipedia community if this variant is helpful for your translation work. For this, my team would like you to:

• Try the machine translation support at  https://translate.google.com/. You can paste multiple pieces of content from different Wikipedia articles and check whether the provided result is the correct variant for your language.
• Provide us with specific feedback on the machine translation quality. Let us know if the translations are accurate, maintain the original meaning, are grammatically correct, and if the script is suitable for your Wikipedia.

Our plans to enable the machine translation support

If the machine translation is the correct variant, and there are no objections to having translation support. We will deploy it once the support is available in the external APIs.

We look forward to your feedback in this thread, as we need to be sure we will be providing a helpful support service for your translation work. Thank you!

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

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:

• Please try the current state of development on beta wiki and let us know what you think.
• Sign up here to get updates and/or invites to participate in user research activities.

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.

Please help us spread the message. --Johannes Richter (WMDE) (talk) 10:36, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Preliminary results of the 2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees elections

Hello all,

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election. Close to 6000 community members from more than 180 wiki projects have voted.

The following four candidates were the most voted:

1. Christel Steigenberger
2. Maciej Artur Nadzikiewicz
3. Victoria Doronina
4. Lorenzo Losa

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,

The Elections Committee and Board Selection Working Group

'Wikidata item' link is moving, finally.

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. There should be no need for null-edits or purging cache for the changes to occur. Kind regards, -Danny Benjafield (WMDE) 11:30, 2024 s. oktâbrniñ 22 (UTC)
