ਵੈਲੀਡੇਟ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਵੱਖਰੇ ਵਰਤੋਂਕਾਰ ਹੱਕਾਂ ਸੰਬੰਧੀ

ਪਰੂਫ਼ਰੀਡ ਕਰਨਾ ਜਾਂ ਗ਼ਲਤੀਆਂ ਲਾਉਣ ਵਿੱਚ ਅਕਸਰ ਕੋਈ ਨਾ ਕੋਈ ਛੋਟੀ ਮੋਟੀ ਗ਼ਲਤੀ ਰਹਿ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ। ਇਸੀ ਲਈ ਕੋਈ ਦੂਜਾ ਵਰਤੋਂਕਾਰ ਵੈਲੀਡੇਟ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ ਤਾਂ ਕਿ ਕੋਈ ਵੀ ਗ਼ਲਤੀ ਨਾ ਰਹੇ। ਪਰ ਕਈ ਵਾਰ ਨਵੇਂ ਵਰਤੋਂਕਾਰ ਫਰਮਿਆਂ ਆਦਿ ਦੀ ਘੱਟ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ ਹੋਣ ਕਰਕੇ ਨਾ ਵੈਲੀਡੇਟ ਕਰਨਯੋਗ ਸਫ਼ੇ ਨੂੰ ਵੀ ਵੈਲੀਡੇਟ ਕਰ ਦਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ। ਇਸ ਨਾਲ਼ ਵਿਕੀਸਰੋਤ ਦੀ ਗੁਣਵੱਤਾ ਉੱਤੇ ਅਸਰ ਪੈਂਦਾ ਹੈ ਤੇ ਇਹ ਵੀ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਰਹਿੰਦਾ ਕਿ ਕਿਹੜੀਆਂ ਰਚਨਾਵਾਂ ਸੱਚਮੁੱਚ ਵੈਲੀਡੇਟ ਯਾਨੀ ਸੰਪੂਰਨ ਹੋ ਗਈਆਂ ਹਨ ਤੇ ਕਿਹੜੀਆਂ ਗ਼ਲਤੀਆਂ ਨਾਲ਼ ਹੋਈਆਂ ਹਨ। ਇਸ ਲਈ ਮੇਰਾ ਸੁਝਾਅ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਵੈਲੀਡੇਟ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲੇ ਵਰਤੋਂਕਾਰਾਂ ਲਈ ਵੱਖਰੇ ਵਰਤੋਂਕਾਰ ਹੱਕ (user right: validator) ਸਥਾਪਿਤ ਕੀਤੇ ਜਾਣ। ਵਰਤੋਂਕਾਰ ਇੱਕ ਸਮੇਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਚੰਗੀ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਪਰੂਫ਼ਰੀਡ ਦੀ ਪਰਿਕ੍ਰੀਆ ਸਮਝਣ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਹੀ ਇਹ ਹੱਕ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਕਰਨਗੇ। ਆਪਣੇ ਵਿਚਾਰ ਸਾਂਝੇ ਕਰੋ। --Satdeep Gill (ਗੱਲ-ਬਾਤ) 08:52, 2 ਜੁਲਾਈ 2023 (IST)

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!

We encourage your active participation in TTT 2023 and welcome you to apply for scholarships via the provided form.

ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿਕੀਸਰੋਤ ਵਿੱਚ transclusion ਦਾ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਵਰਤਣ ਬਾਰੇ ਚਰਚਾ

ਸਤਿ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਅਕਾਲ ਜੀ, ਜਿਵੇਂ ਕਿ ਕੱਲ੍ਹ ਵਟਸਐਪ ਗਰੁੱਪ ਵਿੱਚ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿਕੀਸਰੋਤ ਵਿੱਚ transclusion ਦੀ ਜਗ੍ਹਾ ਇਸਦਾ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਵਰਤਣ ਬਾਰੇ ਗੱਲ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਹੋਈ ਸੀ, ਇਸਦਾ ਹੁੰਗਾਰਾ ਦੇਖਦੇ ਹੋਏ ਇਸਨੂੰ ਸੱਥ ਉੱਤੇ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਹਾਂ। ਆਪਣਾ ਕੀਮਤੀ ਸੁਝਾਅ ਜਰੂਰ ਦਿਓ ਜੀ। ਧੰਨਵਾਦ। KuldeepBurjBhalaike ^(Talk) 08:04, 3 ਅਗਸਤ 2023 (IST)

ਟਿੱਪਣੀਆਂ/ਸੁਝਾਅ

• ਮੈਂ transclusion ਲਈ ਸੰਯੋਜਨ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਦਾ ਸੁਝਾਅ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਹਾਂ। ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਇੱਥੇ transclusion ਨੂੰ ਨਾਂਵ ਵਜੋਂ ਵਰਤਿਆ ਜਾ ਹੈ। ਪਰ ਵਾਕ ਬਣਤਰ ਦੇ ਹਿਸਾਬ ਨਾਲ਼ ਸੰਜੋਣਾ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਵੀ ਵਰਤਿਆ ਜਾ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ। ਕੁਝ ਉਦਾਹਰਣਾਂ:

ਸੰਜੋਣਾ ਟੈਕਸਟ ਨੂੰ ਪੇਜ ਨੇਮਸਪੇਸ ਤੋਂ ਮੇਨ ਨੇਮਸਪੇਸ ‘ਤੇ ਲਿਆਉਣ ਦਾ ਇੱਕ ਤਰੀਕਾ ਹੈ। - ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਇੱਥੇ ਕ੍ਰਿਆ ਦੀ ਗੱਲ ਹੋ ਰਹੀ ਹੈ ਇਸ ਲਈ ਸੰਜੋਣਾ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਵਰਤਿਆ ਜਾ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ।

ਇਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਸੰਯੋਜਨ ਕੋਡ ਸ਼ਾਮਲ ਕਰੋ (ਜਿਵੇਂ ਹੇਠਾਂ ਦਿਖਾਇਆ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ)। - ਇੱਥੇ ਇਹ ਨਾਂਵ ਵਜੋਂ ਵਰਤਿਆ ਜਾ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ, ਇਸ ਲਈ ਸੰਯੋਜਨ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਵਰਤਣਾ ਸਹੀ ਰਹੇਗਾ।

The transclusion has been done.- ਸੰਜੋਣਾ ਹੋ ਚੁੱਕਿਆ ਹੈ/ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ ਦੀ ਬਜਾਏ ਸੰਯੋਜਨ ਹੋ ਚੁੱਕਿਆ ਹੈ/ਕਰ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ ਪੜ੍ਹਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਬਿਹਤਰ ਲੱਗ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ।

ਇਸ ਲਈ ਜੇਕਰ ਨੇਮਸਪੇਸ ਦੀ ਗੱਲ ਹੈ ਤਾਂ ਮੈਂ ਸੰਯੋਜਨ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਵਰਤਣ ਦਾ ਸੁਝਾਅ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਹਾਂ। ਧੰਨਵਾਦ --Jagseer S Sidhu (ਗੱਲ-ਬਾਤ) 12:02, 3 ਅਗਸਤ 2023 (IST)

• ਮੁੱਖ ਤੌਰ ਤੇ ਇਹ ਸ਼੍ਰੇਣੀਆਂ ਹਨ ਜਿਹੜੀਆਂ ਫਿਲਹਾਲ ਚਾਹੀਦੀਆਂ ਹਨ। ਕੁੱਝ ਸ਼੍ਰੇਣੀਆਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਸੰਜੋਣਾ ਫਿੱਟ ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ ਕਿਤੇ ਸੰਯੋਜਨ ਵੀ ਵਰਤਿਆ ਜਾ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ। ਫਿਲਹਾਲ ਅਜੇ ਤੱਕ ਇਹ ਸ਼੍ਰੇਣੀਆਂ ਕੁੱਝ ਇੰਝ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਰ ਹਨ - ਇੰਡੈਕਸ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੰਜੋਇਆ‎ - ਸੰਯੋਜਨ ਦੀ ਜਾਂਚ ਲੋੜੀਂਦੀ - ਸੰਯੋਜਨ ਹੋਲਡ ਤੇ‎ - ਇਸ਼ਤਿਹਾਰਬਾਜ਼ੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੰਜੋਈ - ਤਸਵੀਰਾਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੰਜੋਈਆਂ - ਪੂਰੀ ਤਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਸੰਜੋਇਆ

ਇੰਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਲੋੜੀਂਦੇ ਬਦਲਾਅ ਕੀਤੇ ਜਾ ਸਕਦੇ ਹਨ। KuldeepBurjBhalaike ^(Talk) 09:14, 4 ਅਗਸਤ 2023 (IST)

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.

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in three weeks?

Read this in your language • ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕਰਕੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਭਾਸ਼ਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਤਰਜਮਾ ਕਰਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਮਦਦ ਕਰੋ • Please tell other users about these changes

Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Web team. In three weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.

ਗਲੋਬਲ ਤਰਜੀਹਾਂ

If you prefer keeping the current skin select "Vector legacy (2010)" on the appearance tab of the global preferences and save the change. We encourage you to give the new skin a try, though.

It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy as a local (but not global) preference. Logged-in users can at any time switch to any other skin. No changes are expected for 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

Slides to our Wikimania 2022 presentation. You may also listen to the recording on YouTube (in English).

[Why is a change necessary] When the current default skin was created, it reflected the needs of the readers and editors as these were 14 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using the Internet and Wikimedia projects in different ways. The old Vector does not meet their needs.

[Objective] The objective for the Vector 2022 skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It introduces a series of changes that aim to improve problems new and existing readers and editors were having with the old skin. It draws inspiration from previous user requests, the Community Wishlist Surveys, and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins. The PHP code in the other available skins has been reduced by 75%. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs.

[Changes in a nutshell] The skin introduces changes that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin.

• The limited width and pin-able menus allow to adjust the interface to the screen size, and focus on editing or reading. Logged-in and logged-out users may use a toggle button to keep the full width, though.
• 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 jump 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 tested wikis.
• 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.

[Customize this skin] It's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts. Check out the repository for a list of currently available customizations and changes, or add your own.

Our plan

If no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying on 14 November. If you'd like to ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please comment in any language.

Invitation to join January Wikisource Community Meeting

Hello fellow Wikisource enthusiasts!

We are the hosting this month’s Wikisource Community meeting on 27 January 2024, 3 PM UTC (check your local time).

As we gear up for our upcoming Wikisource Community meeting, we are excited to share some additional information with you.

The meetings will now be held on the last Saturday of each month. We understand the importance of accommodating different time zones, so to better cater to our global community, we've decided to alternate meeting times. The meeting will take place at 3 pm UTC this month, and next month it will be scheduled for 7 am UTC on the last Saturday. This rotation will continue, allowing for a balanced representation of different time zones.

As always, the meeting agenda will be divided into two halves. The first half of the meeting will focus on non-technical updates, including discussions about events, conferences, proofread-a-thons, and collaborations. The second half will delve into technical updates and conversations, addressing major challenges faced by Wikisource communities, similar to our previous Community meetings.

If you are interested in joining the meeting, kindly leave a message on klawal-ctr@wikimedia.org and we will add you to the calendar invite.

Meanwhile, feel free to check out the page on Meta-wiki and suggest any other topics for the agenda.

The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) is a global group dedicated to providing an equitable and consistent implementation of the UCoC.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection

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

More languages • ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕਰਕੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਭਾਸ਼ਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਤਰਜਮਾ ਕਰਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਮਦਦ ਕਰੋ

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.

Best regards,

[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.

Temporarily taking over phetools statistics update using SodiumBot

(Sorry that this is in English, feel free to translate into your own language)
Hey, Sohom here. As you might already know, recently phetools went offline due to the recent grid deprecation/migration efforts by the Wikimedia Cloud Services team. One of the tasks that phetools performed was updating statistics templates (like this) across multiple wikisources.

Due to this, I'd like to request temporary bot permissions for User:SodiumBot so that the bot can takeover the task of updating statistics templates on en.wikisource that was until recently done by Phe-bot (in the event that Phebot becomes operational, I will shutoff this task, since it wouldn't make sense to have two bots updating statistics). A example of the kind of edits SodiumBot would perform would look something like this. (If you have questions, feel free to ping me) Sohom Datta (ਗੱਲ-ਬਾਤ) 21:03, 17 ਮਾਰਚ 2024 (IST)

Switching to the Vector 2022 skin

Read this in your language • ਕਿਰਪਾ ਕਰਕੇ ਆਪਣੀ ਭਾਸ਼ਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਤਰਜਮਾ ਕਰਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਮਦਦ ਕਰੋ • Please tell other users about these changes

Hi everyone. We are the Wikimedia Foundation Web team. As you may have read in our previous message, over the past year, we have been getting closer to switching every wiki to the Vector 2022 skin as the new default. In our previous conversations with Wikisource communities, we had identified an issue with the Index namespace that prevented switching the skin on. This issue is now resolved.

We are now ready to continue and will be deploying on Wikisource wikis on March 25th.

To learn more about the new skin and what improvements it introduces, please see our documentation. If you have any issues with the skin after the change, if you spot any gadgets not working, or notice any bugs – please comment below! We are also open to joining events like the Wikisource Community meetings to talk to you directly. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (ਗੱਲ-ਬਾਤ) 02:20, 19 ਮਾਰਚ 2024 (IST)

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.

The Charter Electoral Commission,

Abhinav619, Borschts, Iwuala Lucy, Tochiprecious, Der-Wir-Ing
