Invitation to join the Movement Strategy Forum

داڕێژە:More languages

Hello everyone,

The Movement Strategy Forum (MS Forum) is a multilingual collaborative space for all conversations about Movement Strategy implementation.

We are inviting all Movement participants to collaborate on the MS Forum. The goal of the forum is to build community collaboration, using an inclusive multilingual platform.

The Movement Strategy is a collaborative effort to imagine and build the future of the Wikimedia Movement. Anyone can contribute to the Movement Strategy, from a comment to a full-time project.

Join this forum with your Wikimedia account, engage in conversations, and ask questions in your language.

The Movement Strategy and Governance team (MSG) launched the proposal for the MS Forum in May 2022. There was a 2-month community review period, which ended on 24 July 2022. The community review process included several questions that resulted in interesting conversations. You can read the Community Review Report.

We look forward to seeing you at the MS Forum!

Best regards,

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?

The slides for our presentation at Wikimania 2022

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.

About the skin

[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?

It'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

If 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) ‏٠٤:١٤، ٢٢ی ئەیلوولی ٢٠٢٢ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

Update on Vector 2022

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) ‏٢٣:٢٤، ١٩ی تشرینی یەکەمی ٢٠٢٢ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

Invitation to attend “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter” Sessions

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

Hello all,

During the 2022 Wikimedia Summit, the Movement Charter Drafting Committee (MCDC) presented the first outline of the Movement Charter, giving a glimpse on the direction of its future work, and the Charter itself. The MCDC then integrated the initial feedback collected during the Summit. Before proceeding with writing the Charter for the whole Movement, the MCDC wants to interact with community members and gather feedback on the drafts of the three sections: Preamble, Values & Principles, and Roles & Responsibilities (intentions statement). The Movement Charter drafts will be available on the Meta page here on November 14, 2022. Community wide consultation period on MC will take place from November 20 to December 18, 2022. Learn more about it here.

With the goal of ensuring that people are well informed to fully participate in the conversations and are empowered to contribute their perspective on the Movement Charter, three “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter" sessions have been scheduled in different time zones. Everyone in the Wikimedia Movement is invited to attend these conversations. The aim is to learn about Movement Charter - its goal, purpose, why it matters, and how it impacts your community. MCDC members will attend these sessions to answer your questions and hear community feedback.

The “Ask Me Anything” sessions accommodate communities from different time zones. Only the presentation of the session is recorded and shared afterwards, no recording of conversations. Below is the list of planned events:

  • Asia/Pacific: November 4, 2022 at 09:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Chinese and Japanese.
  • Europe/MENA/Sub Saharan Africa: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Arabic, French and Russian.
  • North and South America/ Western Europe: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Spanish and Portuguese.

On the Meta page you will find more details; Zoom links will be shared 48 hours ahead of the call.

Call for Movement Charter Ambassadors

Individuals or groups from all communities who wish to help include and start conversations in their communities on the Movement Charter are encouraged to become Movement Charter Ambassadors (MC Ambassadors). MC Ambassadors will carry out their own activities and get financial support for enabling conversations in their own languages. Regional facilitators from the Movement Strategy and Governance team are available to support applicants with MC Ambassadors grantmaking. If you are interested please sign up here. Should you have specific questions, please reach out to the MSG team via email: strategy2030@wikimedia.org or on the MS forum.

We thank you for your time and participation.

On behalf of the Movement Charter Drafting Committee,

Enabling Content and Section translation tool in Central Kurdish Wikipedia

Hello Friends!

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

The WMF Language team is pleased to let you know that we will like to enable the Section and Content translation tool in Central Kurdish Wikipedia. For this, our team will love you to read about the tool and test the new Section Translation tool so you can:

  • Give us your feedback
  • Ask us questions
  • Tell us how to improve it

Below is background information about the tools and how you can test the Section translation tool.

Background information

Content Translation has been a successful tool for editors to create content in their language. More than one million articles have been created across all languages since the tool was released in 2015. However, the tool is not out of beta in Central Kurdish Wikipedia, limiting the discoverability of the tool and its use and blocking the enablement of the Section translation in your Wikipedia

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

We plan to enable the tools on Central Kurdish Wikipedia in the coming week if there are no objections from your community. After it is enabled, we’ll monitor the content created with the tools and process all the feedback. In any case, feel free to raise any concerns or questions you may already have as a reply to this message or on the project talk page

Try the Section translation tool

Before the enablement, you can try the current implementation of the tool in our testing instance. Once it is enabled on Central Kurdish Wikipedia, you’ll have access to https://ckb.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:ContentTranslation with your mobile device. You can select an article to translate, and machine translation will be provided as a starting point for editors to improve.

Provide feedback

Please provide feedback about Section translation on the project talk page. We want to hear about your impressions on

  • The section translation tool
  • What do you think about our plans to enable it
  • Your ideas for improving the tool

Thanks and we look forward to your feedback and questions.

Hi @UOzurumba (WMF): In my opinion, it would be a good thing to enable this feature if there are no technical problems so that mobile users can use it. Thank you very much for your efforts and the team! ⇐ئارام وتووێژ💭١٥:١٤، ٢ی تەممووزی ٢٠٢٢ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

Thank you, Aram .for your feedback, the team will go ahead and enable the tools in your Wikipedia UOzurumba (WMF) (لێدوان) ‏١٣:٢٩، ١٣ی تەممووزی ٢٠٢٢ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

Content and Section Translation tool enabled in Central Kurdish Wikipedia

Hello Friends!

The WMF Language team is pleased to let you know that we have enabled the Section translation and Content translation tools in Central Kurdish Wikipedia.

The Content translation tool can be discovered by users through several entry points. However, users not interested in translation can disable it from their preferences. Also, with the Section translation tool, you can start translating an article on your mobile device right when you notice it is missing in Central Kurdish. From a Wikipedia article in any language, switch languages and search for Central Kurdish. If the article does not exist, an option to translate it will appear, as shown in the image below.

Image of the entry point

We know that these tools will help translators in your community to add content using any device with ease. Content created with the Content and Section Translation tool will be marked with the "[٢]" and “sectiontranslaiton” tag, respectively, for the community to review. We’ll monitor the content created, but we are very interested in hearing about your experience using the tools and reviewing the content created with it.

So, enjoy the tools and provide feedback on improving it.

Thank you!

Hi @UOzurumba (WMF): Sorry for the late reply. Thank you for adding these good features, but I think Section translation doesn’t work for me. Is there anything wrong? ⇐ئارام وتووێژ💭١٣:٠٤، ٢٧ی تەممووزی ٢٠٢٢ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]
Hello Aram,
Apologies for the late reply. Please can you explain the issue you are having?
Thank you UOzurumba (WMF) (لێدوان) ‏١٨:٢٤، ٥ی ئابی ٢٠٢٢ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]
Hi @UOzurumba (WMF):, it's OK and I often reply late. :) I tried it now and it worked, but when you announced that the section translation had been added, I tried it and it didn't work. Anyway, it works now and I thank you very much for coming to the problem. However, in Content Translation, we have a problem with Google Translate that translates texts into Northern Kurdish (en:Kurmanci, ku), not Central Kurdish (en:Sorani, ckb). Can you please follow up on that problem? Thanks! ⇐ئارام وتووێژ💭١٩:٥٥، ٥ی ئابی ٢٠٢٢ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]
@UOzurumba (WMF): You can ignore my above comment because the problem is now fixed. I hope users make good use of these features and don't force us to disable them. Thank you very much to you and the team! ⇐ئارام وتووێژ💭١٤:٥٠، ١٠ی ئەیلوولی ٢٠٢٢ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]
Hello Aram ,sorry I did not reply to your comment about the MT translation issue and I am happy it has been resolved. Please, don't hesitate to let us know if you and your community encounter any problem while using the tool. Thank you! UOzurumba (WMF) (لێدوان) ‏١٩:٣٩، ١٢ی ئەیلوولی ٢٠٢٢ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

Default machine

Hi @UOzurumba (WMF):, as the tool now also supports Google Translate, I think it is better to make Google Translate default for all users. سەرچیا — ‏١٧:٥٠، ٢٧ی ئەیلوولی ٢٠٢٢ (UTC)


Thank you سەرچیاfor the feedback. Since there is no objection to this request, I have created a ticket for this request.

Best regards

UOzurumba (WMF) (لێدوان) ‏٢٠:٢٦، ٢٥ی تشرینی دووەمی ٢٠٢٢ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

Hello ,سەرچیا

Further to the above request to make Google translate the default in Central Kurdish Wikipedia (ckbWiki), the language team would like to learn more about why the ckbWiki community prefer Google Translate. Which aspect of Google translate is better than the current default; for instance, is your preference based on the dialect used, writing system, sentence structure of the translation, etc? we want to know because our data suggests otherwise.

From the Machine translation report, there were more deletions for articles created using Google (30% than NLLB-200 (1%) for Central Kurdish. Also, the NLLB-200 seemed to require users to edit less. We would appreciate your community providing insight to help us learn more about your preference. Thank you! UOzurumba (WMF) (لێدوان) ‏٢٢:٣٩، ٢٩ی تشرینی دووەمی ٢٠٢٢ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

I translated a few articles and tried the future as a test for some articles, what I noticed generally is that Google Translate results are

better, in terms of giving the intended meaning, also for grammar and spellings. Both of them have some flaws too, but whether to decide on making one default, I prefer Google Translate here. سەرچیا — ‏١٤:٢٣، ٣ی کانوونی یەکەمی ٢٠٢٢ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

Seeking volunteers for the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct process

Hello,

As follow-up to the message about the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines by Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Vice Chair, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, I am reaching out about the next steps. I want to bring your attention to the next stage of the Universal Code of Conduct process, which is forming a building committee for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). I invite community members with experience and deep interest in community health and governance to nominate themselves to be part of the U4C building committee, which needs people who are:

  • Community members in good standing
  • Knowledgeable about movement community processes, such as, but not limited to, policy drafting, participatory decision making, and application of existing rules and policies on Wikimedia projects
  • Aware and appreciative of the diversity of the movement, such as, but not limited to, languages spoken, identity, geography, and project type
  • Committed to participate for the entire U4C Building Committee period from mid-May - December 2023
  • Comfortable with engaging in difficult, but productive conversations
  • Confidently able to communicate in English

The Building Committee shall consist of volunteer community members, affiliate board or staff, and Wikimedia Foundation staff.

The Universal Code of Conduct has been a process strengthened by the skills and knowledge of the community and I look forward to what the U4C Building Committee creates. If you are interested in joining the Building Committee, please either sign up on the Meta-Wiki page, or contact ucocproject(_AT_)wikimedia.org by May 12, 2023. Read more on Meta-Wiki.

Best regards,

We are glad to announce the new members and advisors of the Elections Committee.

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

Hello all,

I am pleased to share the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct work. The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) draft charter is now ready for your review.

The Enforcement Guidelines require a Building Committee form to draft a charter that outlines procedures and details for a global committee to be called the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). Over the past few months, the U4C Building Committee worked together as a group to discuss and draft the U4C charter. The U4C Building Committee welcomes feedback about the draft charter now through 22 September 2023. After that date, the U4C Building Committee will revise the charter as needed and a community vote will open shortly afterward.

Join the conversation during the conversation hours or on Meta-wiki.

Best,

RamzyM (WMF), on behalf of the U4C Building Committee, ‏١٥:٣٥، ٢٨ی ئابی ٢٠٢٣ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

Coming soon: Reference Previews

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.

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,

Report of the U4C Charter ratification and U4C Call for Candidates now available

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki. Please help translate to your language

Hello all,

I am writing to you today with two important pieces of information. First, the report of the comments from the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) Charter ratification is now available. Secondly, the call for candidates for the U4C is open now through April 1, 2024.

The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) is a global group dedicated to providing an equitable and consistent implementation of the UCoC. Community members are invited to submit their applications for the U4C. For more information and the responsibilities of the U4C, please review the U4C Charter.

Per the charter, there are 16 seats on the U4C: eight community-at-large seats and eight regional seats to ensure the U4C represents the diversity of the movement.

Read more and submit your application on Meta-wiki.

On behalf of the UCoC project team,

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection

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

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,

Dariusz Jemielniak (Governance Committee Chair, Board Selection Working Group)

[4] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections_committee/Roles

[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.

Hello all,

The next language community meeting is scheduled in a few weeks - May 31st at 16:00 UTC. If you're interested, you can sign up on this wiki page.

This is a participant-driven meeting, where we share language-specific updates related to various projects, collectively discuss technical issues related to language wikis, and work together to find possible solutions. For example, in the last meeting, the topics included the machine translation service (MinT) and the languages and models it currently supports, localization efforts from the Kiwix team, and technical challenges with numerical sorting in files used on Bengali Wikisource.

Do you have any ideas for topics to share technical updates related to your project? Any problems that you would like to bring for discussion during the meeting? Do you need interpretation support from English to another language? Please reach out to me at ssethi(__AT__)wikimedia.org and add agenda items to the document here.

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki. Please help translate to your language

Dear community members,

The Community Affairs Committee (CAC) of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees invites you to give feedback on a draft Procedure for Sibling Project Lifecycle. This draft Procedure outlines proposed steps and requirements for opening and closing Wikimedia Sibling Projects, and aims to ensure any newly approved projects are set up for success. This is separate from the procedures for opening or closing language versions of projects, which is handled by the Language Committee or closing projects policy.

You can find the details on this page, as well as the ways to give your feedback from today until the end of the day on June 23, 2024, anywhere on Earth.

You can also share information about this with the interested project communities you work with or support, and you can also help us translate the procedure into more languages, so people can join the discussions in their own language.

On behalf of the CAC,

Checking files

Hi! Sorry to write in English. I hope you understand or that someone will translate.

All files need a valid license. This file is an example of a file without a license پەڕگە:Sardashttt.jpg.

One place to look is at Special:UncategorizedFiles.

Non-free files are only allowed if they are in use so I suggest to check Special:UnusedFiles. If they are non--free they should be deleted.

The license templates like داڕێژە:Cc-by-sa-3.0 should categorize the files in relevant categories and it would be good to have categories like en:Category:All free media and en:Category:All non-free media. It will make it easier to locate files without a license.

Perhaps someone can help take a look and fix? --MGA73 (لێدوان) ‏١٧:٠٤، ١٧ی ئایاری ٢٠٢٤ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

@MGA73: Thank you for taking the time to contribute here and there is no problem if you write here in English and you are welcome. :) @Kushared: Can you take care of this? About deleting files on Special:UnusedFiles I know, but there is a script that can make it easier with a small bug I mentioned in phab:T345033. As that bug gets fixed, I’ll try to do that. Thanks! ⇐ئارام وتووێژ٠٣:٥٤، ١٩ی ئایاری ٢٠٢٤ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]
Hello ئارام! I did not know that script. Does it actually delete files or does it only add a template to the file page?
If the uploaders are still active perhaps they could tell if the photos are own work (meaning if they are the photographer) and if they would add a valid license. If someone have uploaded many files without a license someone could help them add the license with a bot. The uploader just have to make a clear statement like "Yes, I'm the photographer of the files and I release them under the license cc-by-sa-4.0. Then a bot can fix and link to where the statement was. --MGA73 (لێدوان) ‏١١:١٧، ١٩ی ئایاری ٢٠٢٤ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

@MGA73: You seem to be a member of VRT permissions agent, as far as i know they usually act upon requests. does anyone made a request to investigate non-free files on ckb? —— 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (لێدوان) ‏١٣:٢٩، ١٩ی ئایاری ٢٠٢٤ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

Hello بەکارھێنەر:Sakura emad! Yes I'm also a VRT volunteer. But it is not why I am here. The reason is that I have noticed that many wikis have files without a license or other problems. But I'm also here because there are many good files that should be moved to Commons so they can be used on other wikis.
I like to help wikis getting the files cleaned up. Sometimes one wiki does someting smart and that can be used on other wikis.
In most cases local admins/users can clean up and fix the files with a little help to get started. --MGA73 (لێدوان) ‏١٤:١٤، ١٩ی ئایاری ٢٠٢٤ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]
@MGA73: That script was originally created to add a template to those files and optionally notify the uploader. Currently, delete isn’t an action in it, but —who knows?—they might add that feature if someone requests it and a volunteer takes on the task to do it. In fact, I'm doing cleaning and organizing and I want our wiki to be clean, but I've stopped doing this because of the testing and problems with the script. You can also check our file deletion log on کواری 76518, where administrators have deleted 791 files so far. ⇐ئارام وتووێژ١٦:٢٩، ١٩ی ئایاری ٢٠٢٤ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

@Aram: nice query and work. I also use those when I clean up a wiki. I just started on this: br:Implijer:MGA73/Status. It took more than a year to clean up on Japanese Wikipedia: ja:利用者:MGA73/Status. If several users help it is more fun :-D --MGA73 (لێدوان) ‏١٧:٤٨، ١٩ی ئایاری ٢٠٢٤ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

I just noticed that there is پۆل:ھەموو ڕاگەیێنەرە نائازادەکان and I just created پۆل:پەڕگە ئازادەکان. All the license templates just need to add either {{ڕاگەیێنەری ئازاد}} or {{ڕاگەیێنەری نائازاد}}. --MGA73 (لێدوان) ‏١٨:١٤، ١٩ی ئایاری ٢٠٢٤ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]
@MGA73: ‌Hmm... You have a lot of cool queries too! Anyway, to be honest I don't really like working on files, but if a user has a request, I try to do it using User:AramBot if possible. Do you have any requests? Feel free to tell me if you have one. :) ⇐ئارام وتووێژ١٨:٢٨، ١٩ی ئایاری ٢٠٢٤ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]
I created بەکارھێنەر:MGA73/NoLicense. Some files have a license but show up because the license template does not add to one of the 2 categories mentioned above. --MGA73 (لێدوان) ‏١٩:٣٨، ١٩ی ئایاری ٢٠٢٤ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

Can you add {{ڕاگەیێنەری ئازاد}} to these templates:

That should remove some of the files from the list. --MGA73 (لێدوان) ‏١٩:٥٣، ١٩ی ئایاری ٢٠٢٤ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

@MGA73:,  done All four templates were updated. Anything else? Thanks! ⇐ئارام وتووێژ٢٠:٥٢، ١٩ی ئایاری ٢٠٢٤ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]
@Aram: Thank you! I updated بەکارھێنەر:MGA73/NoLicense and there are 52 files left. If you want you can check a few files and either mark them with "no license" (I do not know the local template for that) and if they have a license template then fix that template so it has either the free or non-free template. --MGA73 (لێدوان) ‏١١:٣٢، ٢٠ی ئایاری ٢٠٢٤ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]
@MGA73: You are welcome. Good. Looks like files without a license should be deleted per F4. ⇐ئارام وتووێژ١٢:٣٣، ٢٠ی ئایاری ٢٠٢٤ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]
@Aram: Yes they can be deleted. But if uploader is still active uploader could add a valid license. I have not checked the files on the list so some of them may have a valid license. --MGA73 (لێدوان) ‏١٢:٤٤، ٢٠ی ئایاری ٢٠٢٤ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]
@MGA73: The user who nominates these files for deletion should notify the uploader and the sysop should check the files for any possible valid license before deleting them. And yes, the second file in this version has a license, but those license templates are either outdated or not the latest version. ⇐ئارام وتووێژ١٣:١٤، ٢٠ی ئایاری ٢٠٢٤ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

I have updated some files so now there are 44 files left on the list.

Can you fix those templates too (free files)?

  1. داڕێژە:Cc-by-2.0
  2. داڕێژە:Cc-by-sa-2.5
  3. داڕێژە:پاوانی گشتی - سعوودیا

If anyone have time and know how feel free to check the list and fix the files. --MGA73 (لێدوان) ‏٠٨:٥٦، ٢٦ی ئایاری ٢٠٢٤ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

@MGA73: The first and second were updated. I wasn't sure about the last one. ⇐ئارام وتووێژ١٩:٣١، ٢٦ی ئایاری ٢٠٢٤ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

Affiliates vote:

سڵاو @Pirehelokan، Aza، Gejeluk، Zamand Karim، Sakura emad، Tessla، و Calak: و ئەوانی تریش، ویستم پێتان ڕاگەیەنم کە ویکیمیدیا پڕۆژەیەکی نوێی بە ناوی en:Wikifunctions (پێشتر Wikilambda) ڕاگەیاندووە کە ئەمە دەبێتە یەکەم پڕۆژە دوای ویکیدراوە کە دە ساڵ پێش ئێستا ڕایان گەیاند. پڕۆژەکە ساڵێک پێش ئێستا ڕاگەیەنرا، بەڵام چاوەڕێم کرد تا دەستێکی پێدا دێنن و ئێستا بۆ خۆی شتێکە و بەشداریی تێدا دەکرێ. پڕۆژەکە پەیوەندیی بە en:Abstract Wikipedia ھەیە یان ھەبووە. بەرنامەی پڕۆژەکە دروستکردنی فەنکشنی کۆمپیوتەرە بە زمانی کۆمپیوتەر و مرۆڤیش، یانی فرەزمانە. ئەم پڕۆژەیە دەکرێ لە ئایندەدا لەناو مۆدیوول و/یان داڕێژەکان کەڵکی لێ وەرگیرێ و زۆر زیاتر لەوەشی پێ بکرێ؛ من لایە ڕووناکەکەی دەبینم. ئێستا بۆیە لێرە بانگم کردن چونکە زۆرینە ئاگادار نین و ھەژمارەکانتان بەوێوە گرێ نەداوە. تەنیا سەردانی www.wikifunctions.org بکەن و بچنە ژوورەوە بەسە. نزیکەی ١٦٠ پەیامی پڕۆژەکەم وەرگێڕاوە و بەم زووانە جێگیر دەبن. لە ئێستادا لەسەر f:User:Aram ٧ فەنکشنم دروست کردووە و دەتوانن لەسەر پڕۆژەکە خۆی بەکاری بێنن و بیرۆکەی زیاتریشم ھەیە، بەڵام کێشەی من ئەوەیە جاروبار پێویستم بە ھەندێ کەسی شارەزا لە زمان ھەیە تا ھەندێ بڕیار بدەم. لەوێ لە شوێنی پێویست بانگی ئەوانە دەکەم کە ھەست دەکەم وەڵامیان لایە. تەنیا ئەم جارە لێرە پەیام دەنێرم تا ئاگادار ببنەوە و لەولا قسە لەسەر شتەکان دەکەین. ئێوەش کێتان پێ خۆشە بانگی بکەن، بیکەن و، پرسیاریشتان ھەبوو، خۆشحاڵ دەبم. سپاس! ⇐ئارام وتووێژ٢٣:٢٠، ١٢ی ئابی ٢٠٢٤ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

دەست خۆش بۆ بانگکردنەکەت. پرۆژەیەکی گرنگە، بەڵام مەرج ئەوەیە دیڤێڵۆپرەکان پشتیوانیی بکەن و پەرە بستێنێ. فانکشنی وامان زۆر پێویست دەبێت. سەیری ئەو چەند دانەیەیەشم کرد کە خۆت نووسیبووت. سپاس پیرەھەڵۆ (وتووێژ) ‏٠٥:٢٦، ١٣ی ئابی ٢٠٢٤ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

ڕێگریکردن لە دانانی بەستەری zaniary.com

سڵاو، پێتان چۆنە ڕێگری لە zaniary.com بکەین کە لە ویکیپیدیا بەکاربێت؟ چونکە ئەو پێگەیە خۆی ویکیپیدیا دەکاتە سەرچاوە و بە گووگڵ ترانسلەیت دەقی ویکیپیدیاکانی تر دەکاتەوە کوردی و ئەوەی ئەم پڕۆژەیەش کە خۆی کوردییە، ھەر لێرە لەبەری دەگرنەوە. ئینجا لە خوارەوەش نووسراوە سه‌رجه‌م مافه‌كان پارێزراوه‌! ھەتا ماوەیەکیش ڕێیان بە لەبەرگرتنەوەی دەقەکانیان نەدەدا، بەس ئێستا ڕێ دەدەن. مخابن چەند بەکارھێنەری تازەی ویکیپیدیاش بەبێ ئەوەی ئەمانە بزانن دەقەکانی ئەوێ دێننە ئێرە. جا ئیتر سەر لەم بەزمە دەرکەن و بزانن چی سەرچاوەیە بۆ چی! چی دەڵێن؟ ⇐ئارام وتووێژ💭١٢:٠١، ٣ی ئەیلوولی ٢٠٢٣ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

گەر قسەکانت وابن، ئەوا باشتر وایە ڕێگری لێ بکرێت، چون نزیکە لە کوردیپێدیا. Tessla (وتووێژ)١٣:١٤، ٣ی ئەیلوولی ٢٠٢٣ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]

@Nskoalj: وەڵا بۆیە جارێ ڕام گرتووە چونکە لە نزیکەی ٦٠ وتار بە سەرچاوە دانراوە. خەریکی سکریپتێک بووم تا ئەو کارە بکات، بەڵام ئیشی تر زۆر ھاتنە پێش بۆیە ئەمە دواکەوت. ئیشەڵڵا بەم نزیکانە خەریکی دەبمەوە. ⇐ئارام وتووێژ١٩:٢٥، ٢٣ی شوباتی ٢٠٢٤ (UTC)[وەڵامدانەوە]
