- विकिडेटा से अवश्य ही संस्कृत विकिपीडिया में कार्य किया जा सकता है। परन्तु मेरा अनुभव रहा है कि, विकिडेटा से लिया गया चल (element) अधिकतर आङ्ग्लभाषा में होता है। हमें केवल संस्कृतभाषा में ही चल चाहिये। यदि ऐसा कर सकते हैं, तो हम आरम्भिक स्तर पर कुछ प्रयोगों को देखकर कुछ निर्णय ले सकते हैं। हमें ये तो ज्ञात है, कि विकिडेटा से कार्य सरल होता है, परन्तु विकिडेटा से हुई समस्याओं को भी हमने देखा है, जैसे कहा कि आङ्ग्लभाषा में दिखना और दूसरा सभी चलों का न दिखना। मैं कुछ उदाहरण खोज कर आपको दिखाऊँगा। अस्तु। ॐNehalDaveND•✉•✎ ११:३१, १ अप्रैल २०१८ (UTC)

- So do you want English element back? As I explained, that the article was about a person whose historicity is disputed. There's no reliable evidence regarding dating of the subject. So using infobox person was a bad decision. Hence I changed the infobox to Infobox character. If there are reliable evidences of the person being worshipped, you can use infobox deity as well.

- Let me clear myself on this point. We don't want to see any English word or number in sa.wiki. But deletion or hiding of information will not better solution also. So we want to find a way for appearance of Sanskrit at every place, but simultaneously we don't want to delete or hid any information from sa.wiki due to English. So please help us to put Sanskrit in place of English information as much as possible, but don't delete or hid any information. By the way, Thank you for your help in Kitten. I'll translate it. It is your beginning in sa.wiki, so some confusion will be there. But don't mind, do your work on Sandbox and after success (discussion) we will put it in main stream. I hope you are getting my indication about "Sandbox". ;) Keep edit. ॐNehalDaveND•✉•✎ ०७:०६, १४ अप्रैल २०१८ (UTC)
- So do you want everything in sandbox first? That's very cumbersome and demotivational. The approach I follow is definite edits in main template, and unsure edits in sandbox. Plus if anything breaks / community disagree, then revert and move to sandbox. For the current state (after my edits) please mention disputed / broken testcases (if any). I'll be happy to resolve or move my code to sandbox myself. Regarding article on Atri, one parameter has now appeared. Let me know if you want others, I'll be happy to amend and update {{Infobox character}}. Capankajsmilyo (चर्चा) ०८:११, १४ अप्रैल २०१८ (UTC)
- Hello.
I'm facing a similar problem with the infobox. While editing the code of a few language articles, I found that whenever I assign a value to the 'date' parameter of the 'Infobox language', instead of the value assigned to the 'speakers' parameter, the page displays "वाचनिकदोषः : अनपेक्षितम् उद्गारचिह्नम २". To temporarily reoslve this I have assigned the value 'NA' to the 'date' parameter. But the article has now come under the 'Language articles with NA population dates' category. Here's an example. Please help to fix this.करुणेश कुमार शुक्ल (चर्चा) १२:१९, ५ जून् २०२१ (UTC)

New user group for editing sitewide CSS / JS
सम्पादयतु(कृपया अपनी भाषा में अनुवादित करने में सहायता करें)
Hi all!
To improve the security of our readers and editors, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed. (These are pages like MediaWiki:Common.css and MediaWiki:Vector.js which contain code that is executed in the browsers of users of the site.)
A new user group, interface-admin, has been created.
Starting four weeks from now, only members of this group will be able edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with .css or .js that is either in the MediaWiki: namespace or is another user's user subpage).
You can learn more about the motivation behind the change here.
Please add users who need to edit CSS/JS to the new group (this can be done the same way new administrators are added, by stewards or local bureaucrats). This is a dangerous permission; a malicious user or a hacker taking over the account of a careless interface-admin can abuse it in far worse ways than admin permissions could be abused. Please only assign it to users who need it, who are trusted by the community, and who follow common basic password and computer security practices (use strong passwords, do not reuse passwords, use two-factor authentication if possible, do not install software of questionable origin on your machine, use antivirus software if that's a standard thing in your environment).
Thanks!

विशेष - प्रबंधकीय सक्रियता समीक्षा
सम्पादयतुनमस्ते। कुछ समय पहले वैश्विक समुदाय मतैक्य से प्रबंधक और प्रशासक जैसे उन्नत सदस्य अधिकारों को हटाने के बारे में एक नयी नीति लागू की गई थी। आपके समुदाय को इस सम्बन्ध में सूचना दी गयी थी। इस नीति के अनुसार स्टूअर्ड छोटे विकियों के प्रबंधकों की सक्रियता को जाँच रहे हैं। जहाँ तक हमें जानकारी है, आपकी विकी पर "असक्रिय खातों" से ये अधिकार हटाने के सम्बन्ध में कोई नीति नहीं है। इसका अर्थ है कि स्टूअर्ड अब से प्रबंधक सक्रियता समीक्षा के अंतर्गत इसका ध्यान रखेंगे।
हमने निर्धारित किया है कि निम्नलिखित सदस्य निष्क्रियता मानदंडों को पूर्ण करते हैं (दो वर्षों से अधिक समय से कोई संपादन एवं लॉग कार्रवाई नहीं):
- Hemant wikikosh (प्रबंधक)
इन सदस्यों को जल्द ही सूचित किया जाएगा कि यदि वे कुछ या सभी सदस्य अधिकार रखना चाहते हैं तो समुदाय से चर्चा करें। यदि वे सदस्य प्रतिक्रिया नहीं देते हैं तो उनके अधिकार स्टूअर्डों द्वारा वापिस ले लिए जाएँगे।
यदि आपका समुदाय सक्रियता समीक्षा की अपनी अलग प्रक्रिया बनाना चाहे जो वैश्विक नीति के ऊपर हो, या इन खातों के सम्बन्ध में कोई अन्य निर्णय लेना चाहे तो आप ऐसा कर सकते हैं। यह भी संभव है कि यहाँ इस सम्बन्ध में कोई नीति है जो हमसे छूट गयी है। यदि इनमें से कुछ भी हो तो कृपया मेटा-विकि पर स्टूअर्डों को सूचित कर दें ताकि हम ये जान सकें कि इस विकि के लिए अधिकार समीक्षा नहीं करनी है। धन्यवाद, Rschen7754 ०५:५९, १० अगस्त २०१८ (UTC)
Editing of sitewide CSS/JS is only possible for interface administrators from now
सम्पादयतु(कृपया अपनी भाषा में अनुवादित करने में सहायता करें)
Hi all,
as announced previously, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed: only members of the interface-admin (अन्तरफलक प्रबंधक) group, and a few highly privileged global groups such as stewards, can edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with .css or .js that is either in the MediaWiki: namespace or is another user's user subpage). This is done to improve the security of readers and editors of Wikimedia projects. More information is available at Creation of separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS. If you encounter any unexpected problems, please contact me or file a bug.
Thanks!

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data centre. 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.
They will switch all traffic to the secondary data center on Wednesday, 12 September 2018. On Wednesday, 10 October 2018, they will switch back to the primary data center.
Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop when we switch. 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, 12 September and Wednesday, 10 October. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Thursday 13 September and Thursday 11 October).
- 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.
- There will be code freezes for the weeks of 10 September 2018 and 8 October 2018. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.
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. Please share this information with your community. /User:Johan(WMF) (talk)

कृपया अपनी भाषा में अनुवादित करने में सहायता करें
Hello,
In a few weeks the Readers web team will be changing how some templates look on the mobile web site. We will make these templates more noticeable when viewing the article. We ask for your help in updating any templates that don't look correct.
What kind of templates? Specifically templates that notify readers and contributors about issues with the content of an article – the text and information in the article. Examples like Template:Unreferenced or Template:More citations needed. Right now these notifications are hidden behind a link under the title of an article. We will format templates like these (mostly those that use Template:Ambox or message box templates in general) to show a short summary under the page title. You can tap on the "Learn more" link to get more information.
For template editors we have some recommendations on how to make templates that are mobile-friendly and also further documentation on our work so far.
If you have questions about formatting templates for mobile, please leave a note on the project talk page or file a task in Phabricator and we will help you.

FileExporter beta feature
सम्पादयतु
A new beta feature will soon be released on all wikis: The FileExporter. It allows exports of files from a local wiki to Wikimedia Commons, including their file history and page history. Which files can be exported is defined by each wiki's community: Please check your wiki's configuration file if you want to use this feature.
The FileExporter has already been a beta feature on mediawiki.org, meta.wikimedia, deWP, faWP, arWP, koWP and on wikisource.org. After some functionality was added, it's now becoming a beta feature on all wikis. Deployment is planned for January 16. More information can be found on the project page.
As always, feedback is highly appreciated. If you want to test the FileExporter, please activate it in your user preferences. The best place for feedback is the central talk page. Thank you from Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes project.

Talk to us about talking
सम्पादयतु
The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.
We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.
We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.
We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.
We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.
You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:
- First, sign up your group here.
- Next, create a page (or a section on a Village pump, or an e-mail thread – whatever is natural for your group) to collect information from other people in your group. This is not a vote or decision-making discussion: we are just collecting feedback.
- Then ask people what they think about communication processes. We want to hear stories and other information about how people communicate with each other on and off wiki. Please consider asking these five questions:
- When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you?
- What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them?
- What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages?
- What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations?
- What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"?
- Finally, please go to Talk pages consultation 2019 on Mediawiki.org and report what you learned from your group. Please include links if the discussion is available to the public.
You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.
Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.
You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.
Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

विशेष - प्रबंधकीय सक्रियता समीक्षा
सम्पादयतुनमस्ते। कुछ समय पहले वैश्विक समुदाय मतैक्य से प्रबंधक और प्रशासक जैसे उन्नत सदस्य अधिकारों को हटाने के बारे में एक नयी नीति लागू की गई थी। आपके समुदाय को इस सम्बन्ध में सूचना दी गयी थी। इस नीति के अनुसार स्टूअर्ड छोटे विकियों के प्रबंधकों की सक्रियता को जाँच रहे हैं। जहाँ तक हमें जानकारी है, आपकी विकी पर "असक्रिय खातों" से ये अधिकार हटाने के सम्बन्ध में कोई नीति नहीं है। इसका अर्थ है कि स्टूअर्ड अब से प्रबंधक सक्रियता समीक्षा के अंतर्गत इसका ध्यान रखेंगे।
हमने निर्धारित किया है कि निम्नलिखित सदस्य निष्क्रियता मानदंडों को पूर्ण करते हैं (दो वर्षों से अधिक समय से कोई संपादन एवं लॉग कार्रवाई नहीं):
- Eukesh (प्रबंधक)
इन सदस्यों को जल्द ही सूचित किया जाएगा कि यदि वे कुछ या सभी सदस्य अधिकार रखना चाहते हैं तो समुदाय से चर्चा करें। यदि वे सदस्य प्रतिक्रिया नहीं देते हैं तो उनके अधिकार स्टूअर्डों द्वारा वापिस ले लिए जाएँगे।
यदि आपका समुदाय सक्रियता समीक्षा की अपनी अलग प्रक्रिया बनाना चाहे जो वैश्विक नीति के ऊपर हो, या इन खातों के सम्बन्ध में कोई अन्य निर्णय लेना चाहे तो आप ऐसा कर सकते हैं। यह भी संभव है कि यहाँ इस सम्बन्ध में कोई नीति है जो हमसे छूट गयी है। यदि इनमें से कुछ भी हो तो कृपया मेटा-विकि पर स्टूअर्डों को सूचित कर दें ताकि हम ये जान सकें कि इस विकि के लिए अधिकार समीक्षा नहीं करनी है। धन्यवाद, Rschen7754 ०३:२५, १९ जून २०१९ (UTC)
Stepping back from the admin/bureaucrat hats on sawiki
सम्पादयतुHello everyone, it has been quite a long time since I've been here, and I have fond memories from my time in sawiki. Mostly due to my prolonged inactivity and a tiny bit due to an unpleasant atmosphere over at my home enwiki, I will request the Stewards to remove my bureaucrat and sysop flags on this wiki. Despite me not being fully at ease with the actions of the WMF (until further clarification is provided), I fully acknowledge and appreciate their support in the fledgling days of sawiki, and would like to thank them and my fellow sawiki contributors for the good memories. I wish you a good continuation in your work here! (Procedural note: please continue to approach local bureaucrats/sysops or the Stewards for any user rights changes.)

Edit Cards
This is what the new Edit Cards for editing links in the mobile visual editor look like. You can try the prototype here: 📲 Try Edit Cards.
Welcome back to the Editing newsletter.
Since the last newsletter, the team has released two new features for the mobile visual editor and has started developing three more. All of this work is part of the team's goal to make editing on mobile web simpler.
Before talking about the team's recent releases, we have a question for you:
Are you willing to try a new way to add and change links?
If you are interested, we would value your input! You can try this new link tool in the mobile visual editor on a separate wiki.
Follow these instructions and share your experience:
Recent releases
सम्पादयतुThe mobile visual editor is a simpler editing tool, for smartphones and tablets using the mobile site. The Editing team recently launched two new features to improve the mobile visual editor:
- Section editing
- The purpose is to help contributors focus on their edits.
- The team studied this with an A/B test. This test showed that contributors who could use section editing were 1% more likely to publish the edits they started than people with only full-page editing.
- Loading overlay
- The purpose is to smooth the transition between reading and editing.
Section editing and the new loading overlay are now available to everyone using the mobile visual editor.
New and active projects
सम्पादयतुThis is a list of our most active projects. Watch these pages to learn about project updates and to share your input on new designs, prototypes and research findings.
- Edit cards: This is a clearer way to add and edit links, citations, images, templates, etc. in articles. You can try this feature now. Go here to see how: 📲 Try Edit Cards.
- Mobile toolbar refresh: This project will learn if contributors are more successful when the editing tools are easier to recognize.
- Mobile visual editor availability: This A/B test asks: Are newer contributors more successful if they use the mobile visual editor? We are collaborating with 20 Wikipedias to answer this question.
- Usability improvements: This project will make the mobile visual editor easier to use. The goal is to let contributors stay focused on editing and to feel more confident in the editing tools.
Looking ahead
सम्पादयतु- Wikimania: Several members of the Editing Team will be attending Wikimania in August 2019. They will lead a session about mobile editing in the Community Growth space. Talk to the team about how editing can be improved.
- Talk Pages: In the coming months, the Editing Team will begin improving talk pages and communication on the wikis.
Learning more
सम्पादयतुThe VisualEditor on mobile is a good place to learn more about the projects we are working on. The team wants to talk with you about anything related to editing. If you have something to say or ask, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.

New tools and IP masking
सम्पादयतुHey everyone,
The Wikimedia Foundation wants to work on two things that affect how we patrol changes and handle vandalism and harassment. We want to make the tools that are used to handle bad edits better. We also want to get better privacy for unregistered users so their IP addresses are no longer shown to everyone in the world. We would not hide IP addresses until we have better tools for patrolling.
We have an idea of what tools could be working better and how a more limited access to IP addresses would change things, but we need to hear from more wikis. You can read more about the project on Meta and post comments and feedback. Now is when we need to hear from you to be able to give you better tools to handle vandalism, spam and harassment.
You can post in your language if you can't write in English.

The consultation on partial and temporary Foundation bans just started
सम्पादयतुHello,
In a recent statement, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees requested that staff hold a consultation to "re-evaluat[e] or add community input to the two new office action policy tools (temporary and partial Foundation bans)".
Accordingly, the Foundation's Trust & Safety team invites all Wikimedians to join this consultation and give their feedback from 30 September to 30 October.
How can you help?
- Suggest how partial and temporary Foundation bans should be used, if they should (eg: On all projects, or only on a subset);
- Give ideas about how partial and temporary Foundation bans should ideally implemented, if they should be; and/or
- Propose changes to the existing Office Actions policy on partial and temporary bans.
We offer our thanks in advance for your contributions, and we hope to get as much input as possible from community members during this consultation!

Feedback wanted on Desktop Improvements project
सम्पादयतुकृपया अपनी भाषा में अनुवादित करने में सहायता करें
नमस्ते. The Readers Web team at the WMF will work on some improvements to the desktop interface over the next couple of years. The goal is to increase usability without removing any functionality. We have been inspired by changes made by volunteers, but that currently only exist as local gadgets and user scripts, prototypes, and volunteer-led skins. We would like to begin the process of bringing some of these changes into the default experience on all Wikimedia projects.
We are currently in the research stage of this project and are looking for ideas for improvements, as well as feedback on our current ideas and mockups. So far, we have performed interviews with community members at Wikimania. We have gathered lists of previous volunteer and WMF work in this area. We are examining possible technical approaches for such changes.
We would like individual feedback on the following:
- Identifying focus areas for the project we have not yet discovered
- Expanding the list of existing gadgets and user scripts that are related to providing a better desktop experience. If you can think of some of these from your wiki, please let us know
- Feedback on the ideas and mockups we have collected so far
We would also like to gather a list of wikis that would be interested in being test wikis for this project - these wikis would be the first to receive the updates once we’re ready to start building.
When giving feedback, please consider the following goals of the project:
- Make it easier for readers to focus on the content
- Provide easier access to everyday actions (e.g. search, language switching, editing)
- Put things in logical and useful places
- Increase consistency in the interface with other platforms - mobile web and the apps
- Eliminate clutter
- Plan for future growth
As well as the following constraints:
- Not touching the content - no work will be done in terms of styling templates or to the structure of page contents themselves
- Not removing any functionality - things might move around, but all navigational items and other functionality currently available by default will remain
- No drastic changes to the layout - we're taking an evolutionary approach to the changes and want the site to continue feeling familiar to readers and editors
Please give all feedback (in any language) at mw:Talk:Reading/Web/Desktop Improvements
After this round of feedback, we plan on building a prototype of suggested changes based on the feedback we receive. You’ll hear from us again asking for feedback on this prototype.

Beta feature "Reference Previews"
सम्पादयतुA new beta feature will soon be deployed to your wiki: Reference Previews. As you might guess from the name, this feature gives you a preview of references in the article text. That means, you can look up a reference without jumping down to the bottom of the page.
Reference Previews have already been a beta feature on German and Arabic Wikipedia since April. Now they will become available on more wikis. Deployment is planned for October 24. More information can be found on the project page.
As always, feedback is highly appreciated. If you want to test Reference Previews, please activate the beta feature in your user preferences and let us know what you think. The best place for feedback is the central talk page. We hope the feature will serve you well in your work. Thank you from Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes project.

Inside this newsletter, the Editing team talks about their work on the mobile visual editor, on the new talk pages project, and at Wikimania 2019.
Help
सम्पादयतुWhat talk page interactions do you remember? Is it a story about how someone helped you to learn something new? Is it a story about how someone helped you get involved in a group? Something else? Whatever your story is, we want to hear it!
Please tell us a story about how you used a talk page. Please share a link to a memorable discussion, or describe it on the talk page for this project. The team wants your examples. These examples will help everyone develop a shared understanding of what this project should support and encourage.
Talk pages project
सम्पादयतुThe Talk Pages Consultation was a global consultation to define better tools for wiki communication. From February through June 2019, more than 500 volunteers on 20 wikis, across 15 languages and multiple projects, came together with members of the Foundation to create a product direction for a set of discussion tools. The Phase 2 Report of the Talk Page Consultation was published in August. It summarizes the product direction the team has started to work on, which you can read more about here: Talk Page Project project page.
The team needs and wants your help at this early stage. They are starting to develop the first idea. Please add your name to the "Getting involved" section of the project page, if you would like to hear about opportunities to participate.
Mobile visual editor
सम्पादयतुThe Editing team is trying to make it simpler to edit on mobile devices. The team is changing the visual editor on mobile. If you have something to say about editing on a mobile device, please leave a message at Talk:VisualEditor on mobile.
- On 3 September, the Editing team released version 3 of Edit Cards. Anyone could use the new version in the mobile visual editor.
- There is an updated design on the Edit Card for adding and modifying links. There is also a new, combined workflow for editing a link's display text and target.
- Feedback: You can try the new Edit Cards by opening the mobile visual editor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Edit cards talk page.
- In September, the Editing team updated the mobile visual editor's editing toolbar. Anyone could see these changes in the mobile visual editor.
- One toolbar: All of the editing tools are located in one toolbar. Previously, the toolbar changed when you clicked on different things.
- New navigation: The buttons for moving forward and backward in the edit flow have changed.
- Seamless switching: an improved workflow for switching between the visual and wikitext modes.
- Feedback: You can try the refreshed toolbar by opening the mobile VisualEditor on a smartphone. Please post your feedback on the Toolbar feedback talk page.
Wikimania
सम्पादयतुThe Editing Team attended Wikimania 2019 in Sweden. They led a session on the mobile visual editor and a session on the new talk pages project. They tested two new features in the mobile visual editor with contributors. You can read more about what the team did and learned in the team's report on Wikimania 2019.
Looking ahead
सम्पादयतु- Talk Pages Project: The team is thinking about the first set of proposed changes. The team will be working with a few communities to pilot those changes. The best way to stay informed is by adding your username to the list on the project page: Getting involved.
- Testing the mobile visual editor as the default: The Editing team plans to post results before the end of the calendar year. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: VisualEditor as mobile default project page.
- Measuring the impact of Edit Cards: This study asks whether the project helped editors add links and citations. The Editing team hopes to share results in November. The best way to stay informed is by adding the project page to your watchlist: Edit Cards project page.

सम्पादयतुAdditional interface for edit conflicts on talk pages
सम्पादयतुSorry, for writing this text in English. If you could help to translate it, it would be appreciated.
You might know the new interface for edit conflicts (currently a beta feature). Now, Wikimedia Germany is designing an additional interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. This interface is shown to you when you write on a discussion page and another person writes a discussion post in the same line and saves it before you do. With this additional editing conflict interface you can adjust the order of the comments and edit your comment. We are inviting everyone to have a look at the planned feature. Let us know what you think on our central feedback page! -- For the Technical Wishes Team: Max Klemm (WMDE) १४:१५, २६ फरवरी २०२० (UTC)

The Editing team has been working on the talk pages project. The goal of the talk pages project is to help contributors communicate on wiki more easily. This project is the result of the Talk pages consultation 2019.
The team is building a new tool for replying to comments now. This early version can sign and indent comments automatically. Please test the new Reply tool.
- On 31 March 2020, the new उत्तर दें tool was offered as a Beta Feature editors at four Wikipedias: Arabic, Dutch, French, and Hungarian. If your community also wants early access to the new tool, contact User:Whatamidoing (WMF).
- The team is planning some upcoming changes. Please review the proposed design and share your thoughts on the talk page. The team will test features such as:
- an easy way to mention another editor ("pinging"),
- a rich-text visual editing option, and
- other features identified through user testing or recommended by editors.
To hear more about Editing Team updates, please add your name to the "Get involved" section of the project page. You can also watch

This issue of the Editing newsletter includes information the Talk pages project, an effort to help contributors communicate on wiki more easily.
- Reply tool: This is available as a Beta Feature at the four partner wikis (Arabic, Dutch, French, and Hungarian Wikipedias). The Beta Feature is called "चर्चा उपकरण". The Beta Feature will get new features soon. The new features include writing comments in a new visual editing mode and pinging other users by typing
@. You can test the new features on the Beta Cluster now. Some other wikis will have a chance to try the Beta Feature in the coming months. - New requirements for user signatures: Soon, users will not be able to save invalid custom signatures in Special:Preferences. This will reduce signature spoofing, prevent page corruption, and make new talk page tools more reliable. Most editors will not be affected.
- New discussion tool: The Editing team is beginning work on a simpler process for starting new discussions. You can see the initial design on the project page.
- Research on the use of talk pages: The Editing team worked with the Wikimedia research team to study how talk pages help editors improve articles. We learned that new editors who use talk pages make more edits to the main namespace than new editors who don't use talk pages.

Annual contest Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos
सम्पादयतु
This is to invite you to join the Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) campaign to help improve Wikipedia articles with photos and win prizes. The campaign starts today 1st July 2020 and closes 31st August 2020.
The campaign primarily aims at using images from Wikimedia Commons on Wikipedia articles that are lacking images. Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photo images, then add a suitable file from among the many thousands of photos in the Wikimedia Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests (Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc.) over the years.
Please visit the campaign page to learn more about the WPWP Campaign.
With kind regards,
Thank you,

Seven years ago this month, the Editing team offered the visual editor to most Wikipedia editors. Since then, editors have achieved many milestones:
- More than 50 million edits have been made using the visual editor on desktop.
- More than 2 million new articles have been created in the visual editor. More than 600,000 of these new articles were created during 2019.
- The visual editor is increasingly popular. The proportion of all edits made using the visual editor has increased every year since its introduction.
- In 2019, 35% of the edits by newcomers (logged-in editors with ≤99 edits) used the visual editor. This percentage has increased every year.
- Almost 5 million edits on the mobile site have been made with the visual editor. Most of these edits have been made since the Editing team started improving the mobile visual editor in 2018.
- On 17 November 2019, the first edit from outer space was made in the mobile visual editor. 🚀 👩🚀
- Editors have made more than 7 million edits in the 2017 wikitext editor, including starting 600,000 new articles in it. The 2017 wikitext editor is VisualEditor's built-in wikitext mode. You can enable it in your preferences.

Announcing a new wiki project! Welcome, Abstract Wikipedia
सम्पादयतुHi all,
It is my honor to introduce Abstract Wikipedia, a new project that has been unanimously approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. Abstract Wikipedia proposes a new way to generate baseline encyclopedic content in a multilingual fashion, allowing more contributors and more readers to share more knowledge in more languages. It is an approach that aims to make cross-lingual cooperation easier on our projects, increase the sustainability of our movement through expanding access to participation, improve the user experience for readers of all languages, and innovate in free knowledge by connecting some of the strengths of our movement to create something new.
This is our first new project in over seven years. Abstract Wikipedia was submitted as a project proposal by Denny Vrandečić in May 2020 [१] after years of preparation and research, leading to a detailed plan and lively discussions in the Wikimedia communities. We know that the energy and the creativity of the community often runs up against language barriers, and information that is available in one language may not make it to other language Wikipedias. Abstract Wikipedia intends to look and feel like a Wikipedia, but build on the powerful, language-independent conceptual models of Wikidata, with the goal of letting volunteers create and maintain Wikipedia articles across our polyglot Wikimedia world.
The project will allow volunteers to assemble the fundamentals of an article using words and entities from Wikidata. Because Wikidata uses conceptual models that are meant to be universal across languages, it should be possible to use and extend these building blocks of knowledge to create models for articles that also have universal value. Using code, volunteers will be able to translate these abstract “articles” into their own languages. If successful, this could eventually allow everyone to read about any topic in Wikidata in their own language.
As you can imagine, this work will require a lot of software development, and a lot of cooperation among Wikimedians. In order to make this effort possible, Denny will join the Foundation as a staff member in July and lead this initiative. You may know Denny as the creator of Wikidata, a long-time community member, a former staff member at Wikimedia Deutschland, and a former Trustee at the Wikimedia Foundation [२]. We are very excited that Denny will bring his skills and expertise to work on this project alongside the Foundation’s product, technology, and community liaison teams.
It is important to acknowledge that this is an experimental project, and that every Wikipedia community has different needs. This project may offer some communities great advantages. Other communities may engage less. Every language Wikipedia community will be free to choose and moderate whether or how they would use content from this project.
We are excited that this new wiki-project has the possibility to advance knowledge equity through increased access to knowledge. It also invites us to consider and engage with critical questions about how and by whom knowledge is constructed. We look forward to working in cooperation with the communities to think through these important questions.
There is much to do as we begin designing a plan for Abstract Wikipedia in close collaboration with our communities. I encourage you to get involved by going to the project page and joining the new mailing list [३]. We recognize that Abstract Wikipedia is ambitious, but we also recognize its potential. We invite you all to join us on a new, unexplored path.
Yours,
Katherine Maher (Executive Director, Wikimedia Foundation)

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC): we want to hear from you.
सम्पादयतुनमस्ते. Apologies that you may not be reading this message in your native language: translations of the following message may be available on Meta. कृपया अपनी भाषा में अनुवादित करने में सहायता करें. कृतज्ञतां निवेदयामि !
At times, our contributor communities and projects have suffered from a lack of guidelines that can help us create an environment where free knowledge can be shared safely without fear. There has been talk about the need for a global set of conduct rules in different communities over time.
Recently, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees announced a Community Culture Statement, asking for new standards to address harassment and promote inclusivity across projects.
The universal code of conduct will be a binding minimum set of standards across all Wikimedia projects, and will apply to all of us, staff and volunteers alike, all around the globe. It is of great importance that we all participate in expressing our opinions and thoughts about UCoC and its values. We should think about what we want it to cover or include and what it shouldn’t include, and how it may create difficulties or help our groups.
This is the time to talk about it. Before starting drafting the code of conduct, we would like to hear from you and to solicit the opinions and feedback of your colleagues. In order for your voice to be heard, we encourage and invite you to read more about the universal code of conduct (UCoC) and then write down your opinions or feedback on the discussion page.
To reduce language barriers during the process, you are welcome to translate the universal code of conduct main page from English into your respective local language. You and your community may choose to provide your opinions/feedback using your local languages.

Technical Wishes: FileExporter and FileImporter become default features on all Wikis
सम्पादयतुThe FileExporter and FileImporter will become a default features on all wikis until August 7, 2020. They are planned to help you to move files from your local wiki to Wikimedia Commons easier while keeping all original file information (Description, Source, Date, Author, View History) intact. Additionally, the move is documented in the files view history. How does it work?
Step 1: If you are an auto-confirmed user, you will see a link "Move file to Wikimedia Commons" on the local file page.
Step 2: When you click on this link, the FileImporter checks if the file can in fact be moved to Wikimedia Commons. These checks are performed based on the wiki's configuration file which is created and maintained by each local wiki community.
Step 3: If the file is compatible with Wikimedia Commons, you will be taken to an import page, at which you can update or add information regarding the file, such as the description. You can also add the 'Now Commons' template to the file on the local wiki by clicking the corresponding check box in the import form. Admins can delete the file from the local wiki by enabling the corresponding checkbox. By clicking on the 'Import' button at the end of the page, the file is imported to Wikimedia Commons.
If you want to know more about the FileImporter extension or the Technical Wishes Project, follow the links. --For the Technical Wishes Team:Important: maintenance operation on September 1st

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data centre. 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.
They will switch all traffic to the secondary data centre on Tuesday, September 1st 2020.
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 Tuesday, September 1st. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 19:30 IST, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday September 2).
- 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.
- There will be code freezes for the week of September 1st, 2020. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.
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. Please share this information with your community.

Wikidata descriptions changes to be included more often in Recent Changes and Watchlist
सम्पादयतुSorry for sending this message in English. Translations are available on this page. Feel free to translate it in more languages!
As you may know, you can include changes coming from Wikidata in your Watchlist and Recent Changes (in your preferences). Until now, this feature didn’t always include changes made on Wikidata descriptions due to the way Wikidata tracks the data used in a given article.
Starting on December 3rd, the Watchlist and Recent Changes will include changes on the descriptions of Wikidata Items that are used in the pages that you watch. This will only include descriptions in the language of your wiki to make sure that you’re only seeing changes that are relevant to your wiki.
This improvement was requested by many users from different projects. We hope that it can help you monitor the changes on Wikidata descriptions that affect your wiki and participate in the effort of improving the data quality on Wikidata for all Wikimedia wikis and beyond.
Note: if you didn’t use the Wikidata watchlist integration feature for a long time, feel free to give it another chance! The feature has been improved since the beginning and the content it displays is more precise and useful than at the beginning of the feature in 2015.
If you encounter any issue or want to provide feedback, feel free to use this Phabricator ticket. Thanks!

Proposal for a meeting with Sanskrit Wikimedians regarding Wikimedia Foundation Board Governance call for feedback
सम्पादयतुI am Krishna Chaitanya, currently working on the Board Governance team at the Wikimedia Foundation.
As you may already know from my mailing list announcement, the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees is changing several of their by-laws, which will have a substantial impact on how the Wikimedia movement works in the coming years. But they would like the community to be involved in the process of these changes, and receive community feedback regarding the proposed changes. A call for feedback started yesterday (1 Feb) and will continue until 14 March. You can read more about the call for feedback at Call for feedback: Community Board seats or from my mailing list message. I am sorry for a lot of English-heavy content. It would be great if you can translate the main page into Sanskrit :)
In this regard, I am proposing to have an online meeting with Sanskrit Wikimedians, wherein I can explain the background, the reason, why this is needed, and what are the changes being proposed. You can then share your feedback. Let me know your thoughts and if you have any questions. --KCVelaga (WMF) (चर्चा) १४:०५, ४ फेब्रवरी २०२१ (UTC)

Universal Code of Conduct – 2021 consultations
सम्पादयतुUniversal Code of Conduct Phase 2
सम्पादयतुकृपया अपनी भाषा में अनुवादित करने में सहायता करें
The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a universal baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire Wikimedia movement and all its projects. The project is currently in Phase 2, outlining clear enforcement pathways. You can read more about the whole project on its project page.
Drafting Committee: Call for applications
सम्पादयतुThe Wikimedia Foundation is recruiting volunteers to join a committee to draft how to make the code enforceable. Volunteers on the committee will commit between 2 and 6 hours per week from late April through July and again in October and November. It is important that the committee be diverse and inclusive, and have a range of experiences, including both experienced users and newcomers, and those who have received or responded to, as well as those who have been falsely accused of harassment.
To apply and learn more about the process, see Universal Code of Conduct/Drafting committee.
2021 community consultations: Notice and call for volunteers / translators
सम्पादयतुFrom 5 April – 5 May 2021 there will be conversations on many Wikimedia projects about how to enforce the UCoC. We are looking for volunteers to translate key material, as well as to help host consultations on their own languages or projects using suggested key questions. If you are interested in volunteering for either of these roles, please contact us in whatever language you are most comfortable.
To learn more about this work and other conversations taking place, see Universal Code of Conduct/2021 consultations.
Line numbering coming soon to all wikis
सम्पादयतु
From April 15, you can enable line numbering in some wikitext editors - for now in the template namespace, coming to more namespaces soon. This will make it easier to detect line breaks and to refer to a particular line in discussions. These numbers will be shown if you enable the syntax highlighting feature (CodeMirror extension), which is supported in the 2010 and 2017 wikitext editors.
More information can be found on this project page. Everyone is invited to test the feature, and to give feedback on this talk page.
Intimation about the Research Proposal on Gender Gap
सम्पादयतुDear Wikimedians,
Hope you are doing well. We would like to inform you that we (User: Praveenky1589 and User: Nitesh Gill) have proposed a research project for Project Grant. The study will focus on analyzing gender-based differences in leadership of Indian Wikimedia communities. The purpose of the research project is to analyse the growth of projects under different leadership, reasons behind the difference in engagement, contribution and iterations of the project. It also aims to study-
How male and female leadership impacts volunteer contribution and their retention?
The output of events under different leadership and the future of projects and leaders.
The study will be conducted on the last 5 years of online and offline activities. For knowing more about the project please visit the proposal page and share your valuable feedback and suggestions on the talk page. We look forward to refining it more following your valuable inputs and questions.
Thank you Nitesh Gill (ਗੱਲ-ਬਾਤ) 17:24, 19 ਅਪਰੈਲ 2021 (UTC)
Suggested Values
सम्पादयतुFrom April 29, it will be possible to suggest values for parameters in templates. Suggested values can be added to TemplateData and will then be shown as a drop-down list in VisualEditor. This allows template users to quickly select an appropriate value. This way, it prevents potential errors and reduces the effort needed to fill the template with values. It will still be possible to fill in values other than the suggested ones.
More information, including the supported parameter types and how to create suggested values: [1] [2]. Everyone is invited to test the feature, and to give feedback on this talk page.

Editing news 2021 #2
सम्पादयतुअन्यस्यां भाषायां पठतु इदम् • बहुभाषिणे समाचारपत्राय सदस्यतायै इयं सूची
Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.
The key results were:
- Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were more likely to post a comment on a talk page.
- The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also less likely to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.
Looking ahead
The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.
You can turn on "चर्चा उपकरण" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

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.
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 Tuesday, 29 June 2021. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (07:00 PDT, 10:00 EDT, 15:00 WEST/BST, 16:00 CEST, 19:30 IST, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday 30 June).
- 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.
- There will be code freezes for the week of June 28. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.
Universal Code of Conduct - Enforcement draft guidelines review
सम्पादयतुHello all,
The Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2 drafting committee would like comments about the enforcement draft guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC). This review period is planned to begin 17 August 2021.
Community and staff members collaborated to develop these draft guidelines based on consultations, discussions, and research. These guidelines are not final but you can help move the progress forward. Provide comments about these guidelines by 17 October 2021. The committee will be revising the guidelines based upon community input.
Everyone may share comments in a number of places. Facilitators welcome comments in any language on the draft review talk page or by email. Comments can also be shared on talk pages of translations, at local discussions, or during round-table discussions and conversation hours.
There are planned live discussions about the UCoC enforcement draft guidelines:
- Wikimania 2021 session - 16 August @ 11:00 UTC - 11:45 UTC (recording of the session)
- Conversation hours - 24 August, 31 August, 7 September @ 03:00 UTC & 14:00 UTC
- Roundtable calls - 18 September @ 03:00 UTC & 15:00 UTC
The facilitation team supporting this review period hopes to reach a large number of communities. Having a shared understanding is important. 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.
Please let me know if you have any questions about the draft, the community consultation or the UCoC.
Many thanks! --Ravan (WMF) (चर्चा) १५:०३, १९ आगस्ट् २०२१ (UTC)
The 2022 Community Wishlist Survey will happen in January
सम्पादयतुHello everyone,
We hope all of you are as well and safe as possible during these trying times! We wanted to share some news about a change to the Community Wishlist Survey 2022. We would like to hear your opinions as well.
Summary:
We will be running the Community Wishlist Survey 2022 in January 2022. We need more time to work on the 2021 wishes. We also need time to prepare some changes to the Wishlist 2022. In the meantime, you can use a dedicated sandbox to leave early ideas for the 2022 wishes.
Proposing and wish-fulfillment will happen during the same year
सम्पादयतुIn the past, the Community Tech team has run the Community Wishlist Survey for the following year in November of the prior year. For example, we ran the Wishlist for 2021 in November 2020. That worked well a few years ago. At that time, we used to start working on the Wishlist soon after the results of the voting were published.
However, in 2021, there was a delay between the voting and the time when we could start working on the new wishes. Until July 2021, we were working on wishes from the Wishlist for 2020.
We hope having the Wishlist 2022 in January 2022 will be more intuitive. This will also give us time to fulfill more wishes from the 2021 Wishlist.
Encouraging wider participation from historically excluded communities
सम्पादयतुWe are thinking how to make the Wishlist easier to participate in. We want to support more translations, and encourage under-resourced communities to be more active. We would like to have some time to make these changes.
A new space to talk to us about priorities and wishes not granted yet
सम्पादयतुWe will have gone 365 days without a Wishlist. We encourage you to approach us. We hope to hear from you in the talk page, but we also hope to see you at our bi-monthly Talk to Us meetings! These will be hosted at two different times friendly to time zones around the globe.
We will begin our first meeting September 15th at 23:00 UTC. More details about the agenda and format coming soon!
Brainstorm and draft proposals before the proposal phase
सम्पादयतुIf you have early ideas for wishes, you can use the new Community Wishlist Survey sandbox. This way, you will not forget about these before January 2022. You will be able to come back and refine your ideas. Remember, edits in the sandbox don't count as wishes!
Feedback
सम्पादयतु- What should we do to improve the Wishlist pages?
- How would you like to use our new sandbox?
- What, if any, risks do you foresee in our decision to change the date of the Wishlist 2022?
- What will help more people participate in the Wishlist 2022?
Answer on the talk page (in any language you prefer) or at our Talk to Us meetings.

Reorganisation of sa-wiki
सम्पादयतुHello everyone, myself CX Zoom. I came here recently to read an article and made a minor edit. Now I really want to improve sa-wiki. The problem is that I struggle to create sentences in Sanskrit, though I am able to read and understand almost everything due to my past training in Sanskrit and Hindi, Bengali. My work will mostly be limited to behind the scenes work in विकिपीडिया, वर्गः & फलकम् namespaces to streamline the processes of sa-wiki. I will reorganise the various project pages in correct categories, and apply to delete those that are of no use in sa-wiki. I'll need your help for that and I hope that we can make sa-wiki better than ever. Thank you! CX Zoom (चर्चा) १३:२१, ३ फेब्रवरी २०२२ (UTC)

In syntax highlighting (CodeMirror extension), you can activate a colorblind-friendly color scheme with a user setting.
Deployment is planned for May 10. This is the last set of improvements from WMDE Technical Wishes' focus area “Templates”.

Mass delete these useless templates
सम्पादयतुHi everyone, a few months ago I said that I wish to work to reorganize the backend of Sanskrit Wikipedia, see #Reorganisation of sa-wiki section above. While working on Wikidata, I realised that sa-wiki has many useless templates, that have better local duplicates. The all-purpose local template is फलकम्:अपाक्रियताम्. The following templates, taken directly out of English Wikipedia are unused here, because, 1. CSD criteria of en-wiki doesn't apply here; 2. There are some 30 specific templates and tracking them might be easy for en-wiki with 1050 admins, but tracking 30 of them here isn't easy.

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?
सम्पादयतु
Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Web team. In two weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.
We have been working on it for the past three years. So far, it has been the default on more than 30 wikis, including sister projects, all accounting for more than 1 billion pageviews per month. On average 87% of active logged-in users of those wikis use Vector 2022.
It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy. Logged-in users can at any time switch to any other skins. No changes are expected for users of these skins.
- Top of an article
-
Vector legacy (current default) -
Vector 2022
- A section of an article

Vector legacy (current default) -
Vector 2022
About the skin
सम्पादयतु[Why is a change necessary] The current default skin meets the needs of the readers and editors as these were 13 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using Wikimedia projects. The old Vector doesn't meet their needs.
[Objective] The objective for the new skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It draws inspiration from previous requests, the Community Wishlist Surveys, and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins. We reduced PHP code in Wikimedia deployed skins by 75%. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs.
[Changes and test results] The skin introduces a series of changes that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin.
- The sticky header makes it easier to find tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%.
- The new table of contents makes it easier to navigate to different sections. Readers and editors jumped to different sections of the page 50% more than with the old table of contents. It also looks a bit different on talk pages.
- The new search bar is easier to find and makes it easier to find the correct search result from the list. This increased the amount of searches started by 30% on the wikis we tested on.
- The skin does not negatively affect pageviews, edit rates, or account creation. There is evidence of increases in pageviews and account creation across partner communities.
[Try it out] Try out the new skin by going to the appearance tab in your preferences and selecting Vector 2022 from the list of skins.
How can editors change and customize this skin?
सम्पादयतुIt's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts. Check out our repository for a list of currently available customizations, or add your own.
Our plan
सम्पादयतुIf no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying in the week of October 3, 2022. If your community would like to request more time to discuss the changes, hit the button and write to us. We can adjust the calendar.
If you'd like ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please ping me here or write on the talk page of the project. We will gladly answer! Also, see our FAQ. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) ०४:१५, २२ सेप्टेम्बर् २०२२ (UTC)
Update on Vector 2022
सम्पादयतु
Hello. I'm sorry for not communicating in your language. I'll be grateful if you translated my message. I'm writing on behalf of the Web team working on the new skin, Vector 2022.
We wanted to apologize for the delays in the deployment of Vector 2022. We know many of you are waiting for this eagerly. We have been delaying the deployment because we have been working on the logos. It has taken us more time than originally expected. Once the logos are ready, we will let you know the exact date of deployment. We are planning for either the next (more likely) or the following week. If your wiki doesn't currently have a localized logo, we encourage you to reach out to us and we can help make one.
We invite you to get involved in the project. Contact us if you have any questions or need any help, particularly with the compatibility of gadgets and user scripts. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (talk) २३:२४, १९ अक्टोबर् २०२२ (UTC)

विकिमीडिया फाउंडेशन अपने पहले और दूसरे डाटा केन्द्रों में बदलाव का परिक्षण करता है। इससे यह सुनिश्चित होगा कि विकिपीडिया और अन्य विकिमीडिया विकि किसी विपत्ति के बाद भी ठीक से काम करे। यह सुनिश्चित करने के लिए कि सबकुछ सही काम कर रहा है, विकीमीडिया टेक्नोलॉजी विभाग को एक योजनाबद्ध परीक्षण की आवश्यकता है। यह परीक्षण दिखाएगा कि वे एक डेटा सेंटर से दूसरे डेटा सेंटर पर विश्वसनीय तरीके से जा सकते हैं या नहीं। परीक्षण की तैयारी और किसी अनपेक्षित समस्या के समाधान के लिए कई टीमों की आवश्यकता होगी।
पूरा यातायात १ मार्च पर चालू रहेगा। परिक्षण १४:०० UTC बजे आरम्भ होगा।
दुर्भाग्यवश, कुछ सीमाओं के कारण मीडियाविकि को बदलाव के समय सभी तरह के सम्पादनों को रोक देना चाहिए। हमें असुविधा के लिए खेद है और हम भविष्य में इसे न्यूनतम करने पर काम कर रहे हैं।
सभी विकिज़ लघु समय के लिए पढ पायेगे लेकिन इसे संपादित नही कर सकते |
- आप बुधवार १ मार्च २०२३ को एक घण्टे तक सम्पादन नहीं कर सकोगे।
- यदि आप इस समय के दौरान सम्पादन अथवा सहेजने का प्रयास करेंगे तो आपको एक त्रुटि सन्देश दिखाई देगा। हम आशा करते हैं कि इस समय के दौरान कोई सम्पादन लुप्त नहीं होगा लेकिन हम इसकी प्रत्याभूति नहीं करते। यदि आपको कोई त्रुटि सन्देश दिखाई देता है तो कृपया सब कुछ सामान्य होने तक प्रतीक्षा करें। तब आपको अपने सम्पादन सहेजने चाहिए। लेकिन, हम अनुशंसा करते हैं कि आप अपने परिवर्तनों की एक प्रति पहले ही बना लें,जिसकी शायद जरूरत पड़े।
अन्य प्रभाव:
- पृष्ठभूमि की नौकरियां धीमी होंगी और कुछ को स्खलित किया जा सकता है। लाल कड़ियाँ सामान्य गति से अद्यतन नहीं हो सकती हैं। यदि आपने कोई लेख निर्मित किया है जो पहले से कहीं जुड़ा हुआ है, तो कड़ी सामान्य से अधिक समय तक लाल रहेगी। कुछ लम्बे समय तक चलने वाली लिपि रुकी रहेंगी।
- हम अपेक्षा करते हैं कि कोड परिनियोजन अन्य किसी सप्ताह की तरह ही होगा। यद्यपि, कुछ विषयानुसार कोड यथासमय बन्द रह सकेगा यदि सम्बंधित संक्रिया की तदुपरांत आवश्यकता होगी।

सम्पादयतुHello 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,

A new feature is coming to your wiki soon: Reference Previews are popups for references. Such popups have existed on wikis as local gadgets for many years. Now there is a central solution, available on all wikis, and consistent with the PagePreviews feature.
Reference Previews will be visible to everyone, including readers. If you don’t want to see them, you can opt out. If you are using the gadgets Reference Tooltips or Navigation Popups, you won’t see Reference Previews unless you disable the gadget.
Reference Previews have been a beta feature on many wikis since 2019, and a default feature on some since 2021. Deployment is planned for November 22.

Reusing references: Can we look over your shoulder?
सम्पादयतुApologies 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)

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:
- Create a page for the contest on the local wiki.
- Set up a campaign on CampWiz tool.
- Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes.
- Request local admins for site notice.
- 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.

A new feature for previewing references on your wiki
सम्पादयतु
Apologies for writing in English. If you can translate this message, that would be much appreciated.
Hi. As announced some weeks ago [1] [2], Wikimedia Deutschland’s Technical Wishes team introduced Reference Previews to many wikis, including this one. This feature shows popups for references in the article text.
While this new feature is already usable on your wiki, most people here are not seeing it yet because your wiki has set a gadget as the default for previewing references. We plan to remove the default flag from the gadget on your wiki soon. This means:
- The new default for reference popups on your wiki will be Reference Previews.
- However, if you want to keep using the gadget, you can still enable it in your personal settings.
The benefit of having Reference Previews as the default is that the user experience will be consistent across wikis and with the Page Previews feature, and that the software will be easier to maintain overall.
This change is planned for February 14. If you have concerns about this change, please let us know on this talk page by February 12. – Kind regards, Johanna Strodt (WMDE), ०९:३०, २३ जनवरी २०२४ (UTC)सार्वभौम आचार संहिता समन्वय समिति के चार्टर पर मतदान का अंतिम दिन

विकिमीडिया फाउंडेशन बोर्ड के न्यासी के चयन २०२४
सम्पादयतुसभी को नमस्कार,
इस वर्ष, विकिमीडिया फाउंडेशन बोर्ड के न्यासियों में से 4 (चार) समुदाय और एफिलिएट-चयनित न्यासियों का कार्यकाल समाप्त हो जाएगा [1]। बोर्ड इस वर्ष की चयन प्रक्रिया में भाग लेने और उन सीटों को भरने हेतु मतदान करने के लिए पूरे आंदोलन को आमंत्रित करता है।
चुनाव समिति फाउंडेशन के कर्मचारियों (स्टाफ) [2] के सहयोग से इस प्रक्रिया की निगरानी करेगी। बोर्ड गवर्नेंस कमेटी ने उन ट्रस्टियों से एक बोर्ड चयन कार्य समूह बनाया, जो 2024 में उम्मीदवार नहीं हो सकते समुदाय - और एफिलिएट-चयनित ट्रस्टी चयन प्रक्रिया में डेरियस जेमीलनियाक, नतालिया टिम्किव, एसरा अल शाफेई, कैथी कोलिन्स और शनि इवेनस्टीन सिगलोव सम्मिलित हैं। [3] समूह को 2024 ट्रस्टी चयन प्रक्रिया के लिए बोर्ड की निगरानी प्रदान करने और बोर्ड को सूचित रखने का कार्य सौंपा गया है। चुनाव समिति, बोर्ड और कर्मचारियों की भूमिकाओं पर अधिक विवरण यहाँ उपलब्ध हैं [4]।
प्रमुख नियोजित तिथियाँ हैं:
- मई 2024: उम्मीदवारों और प्रश्नों के लिए आव्हान
- जून 2024: एफिलिएट ने 12 उम्मीदवारों को शॉर्टलिस्ट करने के लिए मतदान किया (यदि 15 या उससे कम उम्मीदवार आवेदन करते हैं तो कोई शॉर्टलिस्टिंग नहीं) [5]
- जून-अगस्त 2024: अभियान अवधि
- अगस्त के अंत/सितंबर 2024 की शुरुआत: दो सप्ताह की सामुदायिक मतदान अवधि
- अक्टूबर-नवंबर 2024: चयनित उम्मीदवारों की पृष्ठभूमि की जाँच
- दिसंबर 2024 में बोर्ड की बैठक: नए न्यासियों का पदभार ग्रहण
2024 चयन प्रक्रिया के बारे में इस मेटा-विकी पृष्ठ पर अधिक जानें - जिसमें विस्तृत समयरेखा, उम्मीदवारी प्रक्रिया, अभियान नियम और मतदाता पात्रता मानदंड सम्मिलित हैं, और अपनी योजना बनाएँ।
चुनाव स्वयंसेवक'
2024 की चयन प्रक्रिया में सम्मिलत होने का दूसरा तरीका चुनाव स्वयंसेवक बनना है। चुनाव स्वयंसेवक चुनाव समिति और उनके संबंधित समुदाय के बीच एक सेतु हैं। वे यह सुनिश्चित करने में सहायता करते हैं कि उनके समुदाय का प्रतिनिधित्व हो और उन्हें मतदान के लिए प्रेरित करें। इस मेटा-विकी पेज पर कार्यक्रम और इसमें सम्मिलित होने के तरीके के बारे में अधिक जानें।

[5] भले ही 4 सीटों के लिए आदर्श संख्या 12 उम्मीदवार हैं, लेकिन 15 से अधिक उम्मीदवार होने पर शॉर्टलिस्टिंग प्रक्रिया शुरू हो जाएगी क्योंकि हटाए गए 1-3 उम्मीदवार बहिष्कृत महसूस कर सकते हैं और यह बहुत काम का होगा। एफिलिएट को उम्मीदवार सूची से केवल 1-3 उम्मीदवारों को हटाने के लिए शॉर्टलिस्टिंग प्रक्रिया को अंजाम देना होगा।

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

२०२४ विकिमीडिया फाउंडेशन बोर्ड ऑफ़ ट्रस्टीज़ चुनाव के प्रारंभिक परिणाम
सम्पादयतुसभी को नमस्कार,
२०२४ विकिमीडिया फाउंडेशन बोर्ड ऑफ ट्रस्टीज चुनाव में भाग लेने वाले सभी लोगों को धन्यवाद। 180 से अधिक विकी परियोजनाओं के करीब 6000 समुदाय के सदस्यों ने मतदान किया है।
निम्नलिखित चार उम्मीदवारों को सबसे अधिक मत मिलेः
हालाँकि इन उम्मीदवारों को वोट के माध्यम से स्थान दिया गया है, फिर भी उन्हें न्यासी बोर्ड में नियुक्त करने की आवश्यकता है। उन्हें एक सफल पृष्ठभूमि जाँच भी उत्तीर्ण करनी होगी और उपनियमों में उल्लिखित योग्यताओं को पूरा करना होगा। दिसंबर २०२४ में अगली बोर्ड बैठक में नए ट्रस्टियों की नियुक्ति की जाएगी।

'Wikidata item' link is moving, finally.
सम्पादयतुHello 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) ११:२८, २२ अक्टोबर् २०२४ (UTC)
