Il-ġeneru

Fid-dinja anglofona sar komuni li l-isem tal-professjonijiet ma jinbidilx mal-ġeneru, pereżempju actress ma tantx għadha tintuża. Taħsbu li din għandha tkun il-pulitka tagħna wkoll? Biex ngħid il-verità jien insibha diffiċli ngħid kittieb għal mara.

Jekk ma nagħmlux hekk ħa jkun hemm problema teknika fl-infoboxes ta' wikidata. Il-Franċiżi qishom qegħdin jużawha din is-sistema u għandhom l-istess problem. ma nafx kif solvewha.

Leli Forte (d) 20:18, 30 Jannar 2021 (UTC)[wieġeb]

@Leli Forte: Dan punt importanti u fl-istess ħin interessanti. Fl-Ingliż diġà daħlet f'Malta. Riċentament fit-Times of Malta kien hemm artiklu dwar attriċi li rreferew għaliha dejjem bħala actor u qatt bħala actress. Hemm soluzzjonijiet oħra vis-a-vis Wikidata fejn il-varjant għall-ġeneru jew anke l-plural huma indirizzati fid-database stess. Personalment għadni ma nafx bizzejjed dwar Wikidata biex nitkellem aktar dwar kif taħdem eżatt din is-soluzzjoni. Nevborg, EnriqueTabone, u jien se nkun qed insegwu kors ta' taħriġ dwar Wikidata l-ġimgħa d-dieħla. Inżomm dan il-punt li qed issemmi int f'moħħi hekk kif nitgħallem aktar dwar kif jaħdem sew Wikidata. Min jixtieq jingħaqad magħna waqt dan it-taħriġ jista' jsibna hawn kuljum fis-6pm CET bejn 1 u 5 ta' Frar. --ToniSant (d) 12:00, 31 Jannar 2021 (UTC)[wieġeb]

Entrati fil-Wikidata

L-entrati fil-Wikidata f'liema stil għandhom ikunu? Xi drabi jkunu bil-kapitali u drabi oħra le. Dawn għandhom iwasslu għal artiklu fil-każ li jkun hemm wieħed, jiġifieri għandhom ikunu fl-istil ta' titlu ta' artiklu?

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

Please help translate to your language

Hello everyone,

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

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

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

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

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

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

Best regards,

Għar-raba' sena, Malta qed tingħaqad ma' komunitajiet oħra tal-Wikipedia madwar id-dinja biex tiċċelebra n-nisa fl-arti, f'edit-a-tona bil-kollaborazzjoni ta' Wikimedia Community Malta.

Pittura ta' Mikiel Anton Vassalli

Ir-ritratt (portrait) ta' Mikiel Anton Vassalli li hemm fuq il-Wikipedia kollha hu fittizju u mhu bbażat fuq xejn. Dan kif immaġinah Raymond Pitrè. Hemm ieħor (riliev) ta' Ċensu Apap li hu wkoll mistħajjel. L-uniku wieħed li forsi fih naqra realtà hu dak ta' Paul Farrugia (ikkommissjonat minn Charles Xuereb) li hu bbażat fuq id-deskrizzjoni ta' Vassalli fuq il-permis de séjour [1] li ntħareġ Pariġi.

Improving the translation support for Maltese Wikipedia

Hello!

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

Content translation has been successful in supporting the translation process on many Wikipedia communities, and we want to help additional wikis with the potential to grow using translation as part of a new initiative.


Content translation facilitates the creation of Wikipedia articles by translating content from other languages. It has been used already to create more than half a million articles. In addition, the tool provides mechanisms to encourage the creation of good quality content, preventing the publication of lightly edited machine translations. In general, our analysis shows that the translations produced are less likely to be deleted than the articles started from scratch.


Maltese Wikipedia editors have used Content translation to create more than One hundred and fifty articles. Given the size of the editing community, we think that there is potential to use translation to create more articles, expand existing ones, and attract new editors that learn how to make productive edits. Translation can help the community to reduce the language gap with other languages and grow the number of editors in a sustainable way. In order to achieve this goal, we want to collaborate with you to make Content translation more visible in the Maltese Wikipedia and support new ways to translate.

As a first step, during the next weeks, we plan to enable Content translation by default on Maltese Wikipedia. That will make it easy for users to discover the tool through several entry points. However, users not interested in translation will still be able to disable it from their preferences.


Please feel free to share any comment in this conversation thread.


Thanks!

What are the advantages of using this system? Is it better than using Google Translate for instance? Thanks.
Leli Forte (d) 10:38, 9 Marzu 2021 (UTC)[wieġeb]
Google Translate is embedded in it as a translation engine, along with other options, which will presumably improve over time. I've used it to translate at least two articles: Fatberg + Venezja. I don't particularly like it or need it but it has its advantages, and well worth trying, unless you've already established an easier way to translate Wikipedia articles. -- ToniSant (d) 14:17, 9 Marzu 2021 (UTC)[wieġeb]

Mudelli ta' Referenza

Kemm navża li għadni kif lestejt ix-xogħol biex naqilbu għall-mudelli l-ġodda ta' ċitazzjoni. S'issa, għandna dawn il-mudelli:

Il-mudelli kollha għandhom xi forma ta' dokumentazzjoni ħafif għal min jimmodifika s-sors tal-artikli, imma jistgħu jintużaw ukoll mill-VisualEditor (kemm miċ-Ċita dropdown manwalment jew awtomatikament, kif ukoll jekk tfittxuhom mid-dropdown Daħħal > Mudell).

Peress li hemm parametri li inbidlu mill-mudelli l-qodma għall-mudelli l-ġodda, dan ifisser li hemm ħafna żbalji fis-sezzjoni tar-referenzi. Qed indur l-artikli kollha u nirranġahom, imma min jixtieq jgħini, merħba bih! Tistgħu taraw eżempju ta' artiklu lest bil-mudelli irranġati hawn: Enċiklopedija.

Universal Code of Conduct – 2021 consultations

Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2

Please help translate to your language

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

The 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

From 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.

Il-premjijiet jistgħu jiġu rduppjati fl-ammont jekk jitħaddmu ma' pubblikaturi tal-kotba Maltin (li huma Kite Group, Midsea Books, u Merlin Publishers) skont l-għażla tar-rebbieħa.

Id-dettalji kollha ssibhom fuq il-paġna Wikipedija:Rebbiegħa CEE 2021, b'ringrazzjament lill-parteċipanti kollha tal-ħidma tagħhom u lill-Fondazzjoni Wikimedia tal-appoġġ tagħha fil-premjijiet. --ToniSant (d) 11:36, 24 Ġunju 2021 (UTC)[wieġeb]

Irrid ngħid kemm qiegħed nieħu gost bl-ammont tal-attività fuq mt.wikipedia bħalissa. Għal xi sitt snin kont kważi waħdi u ma tantx kelli tama li l-wikipedija se tibqa' ħajja. Nixtieq nirringrazzja 'l dawk kollha li qegħdin jikkontribwixxu specjalment lil Utent:Trigcly u Utent:ToniSant.

-ist jew -ista?

Hemm ħafna varjanti li jispiċċaw b'-ist jew -ista, pjanist/pjanista, ekonomist/ekonomista.... -ist għandha l-vantaġġ li jista' jkollha l-maskil u l-femminil?

Tgħid għandna nagħmlu xi forma ta' standardizzazzjoni bħala "house style" u nużaw waħda minnhom biss kemm jista' jkun?

Leli Forte (d) 10:27, 17 Lulju 2021 (UTC)[wieġeb]

House style essenzjali li jkollna. Wikidata jagħtina ukoll il-possibilita’ tal-varjanti. Tajjeb naraw il-fehmiet ta’ edituri oħra qabel niddeċiedu. — ToniSant (d) 16:47, 17 Lulju 2021 (UTC)[wieġeb]

{{wieġeb Leli Forte}} fil-wikidata tajjeb li jiddaħħlu l-varjanti u fil-wikipedija nistgħu nużaw ir-rindirizzi. Mill-puntdivista tan-newtralità tal-ġeneru, -ista tajba għall-maskil u għall-femminil allura ħsibt li iktar toqgħod mingħajr ma nkunu parzjali favur il-maskil. Però jekk jintgħażel xi stil, inżomm miegħu bla problemi. Deċiżjoni stilistika oħra li tista' tittieħed hija rigward varjanti -at jew -ist (eż. xjenzat/xjentist), -ogu/a jew -ist(a) (eż. arkeologu jew arkeoloġista; ġeologu jew ġeoloġista).

Il-problema l-iktar hija meta ma jkunx hemm qbil bejn l-Ingliż u t-Taljan (eż. statist naraha stramba għaliex bit-Taljan statista u bl-Ingliż statesperson). --Trigcly (d) 06:10, 19 Lulju 2021 (UTC)[wieġeb]

Universal Code of Conduct - Enforcement draft guidelines review

Hello 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:

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! --Civvi (WMF) (d) 16:08, 17 Awwissu 2021 (UTC)[wieġeb]

Dawn il-premjijiiet, kif ukoll rigali kommemorattivi għall-dawk ivvotati mal-aqwa 10, huma appoġġjati mill-Fondazzjoni Wikimedia u l-isponsors ta' kull premju individwali.

Ir-ritratti rebbieħa issa se jieħdu sehem fil-kompetizzjoni internazzjoni flimkien ma' dawk magħżula mill-pajjiiżi parteċipanti l-oħra kollha. -- ToniSant (d) 11:42, 7 Novembru 2021 (UTC)[wieġeb]

Upcoming Call for Feedback about the Board of Trustees elections

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

The Board of Trustees is preparing a call for feedback about the upcoming Board Elections, from January 7 - February 10, 2022.

While details will be finalized the week before the call, we have confirmed at least two questions that will be asked during this call for feedback:

  • What is the best way to ensure fair representation of emerging communities among the Board?
  • What involvement should candidates have during the election?

While additional questions may be added, the Movement Strategy and Governance team wants to provide time for community members and affiliates to consider and prepare ideas on the confirmed questions before the call opens. We apologize for not having a complete list of questions at this time. The list of questions should only grow by one or two questions. The intention is to not overwhelm the community with requests, but provide notice and welcome feedback on these important questions.

Do you want to help organize local conversation during this Call?

Contact the Movement Strategy and Governance team on Meta, on Telegram, or via email at msg wikimedia.org.

Reach out if you have any questions or concerns. The Movement Strategy and Governance team will be minimally staffed until January 3. Please excuse any delayed response during this time. We also recognize some community members and affiliates are offline during the December holidays. We apologize if our message has reached you while you are on holiday.

Best,

Movement Strategy and Governance
