IMPORTANTI: Reviżjoni tal-attivitajiet tal-amministraturi
Insellimlek. Fl-2013 il-komunità globali adottat regolament ġdid rigward it-tneħħija ta' "drittijiet avvanzati" (tal-amministraturi, burokrati eċċ. ) Skont dan ir-regolament l-istewards qegħdin jagħmlu reviżjoni tal-attivitajiet tal-amministraturi fuq il-wikijiet li m'għandhomx proċedura formali għat-tneħħija ta' "drittijiet avvanzati" minn kontijiet inattivi. Sa fejn nafu il-wiki tiegħek m'għandux din il-proċedura. Dan ifisser li l-istewards ħa jieħdu l-proċedura f'idejhom skont ir-reviżjoni tal-attività tal-amministraturi.
Iddeċidejna li dawn l-utenti jissodifaw il-kriterji ta' inattività (l-ebda modifika jew azzjoni ta' reġistru għal iżjed minn sentejn)
- Joelemaltais (burokrata, amministratur)
Dawn l-utenti ħa jiġu avżati dalwaqt, biex jibdew diskussjoni bejn il-membri tal-komunità, jekk iridu jżommu d-drittijiet li għandhom jew xi wħud minnhom. Jekk ma jwiġbux l-istewards ineħħulhom id-drittijiet avvanzati.
Però, jekk intom bħala komunità tixtiequ toħolqu proċedura għalikom għar-reviżjoni tal-inattività li tissossitwixxi dik globali, jew tridu tieħdu deċiżżjoni differenti dwar dawn l-utenti inattivi li għandhom xi drittijiet jew diġà għandkom proċedura u aħna ma nafux biha, infurmaw l-istewards fuq Meta-Wiki biex inkunu nafu kif nipproċedu bir-reviżjoni tad-drittijiet fuq il-wiki tagħkom. --علاء (d) 11:51, 8 Jannar 2020 (UTC)

Additional interface for edit conflicts on talk pages
Sorry, 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) 14:15, 26 Frar 2020 (UTC)

Bħalissa għad ta' għaqdiet affiljati mal-Wikimedia Foundation qed jippreparaw il-konkors CEE Spring 2020. Malta inkluża f'dan il-konkors għall-ewwel darba permezz ta' l-għaqda affiljata Wikimedia Community Malta. Possibli ninkludu l-avviż li jidher immedjatament taħt dan il-messaġġ bħala "site notice" (ma nafx x'jissejjaħ fil-verzjoni Maltija) li jidher fuq il-paġni lkollha tal-Wikipedija bil-Malti fejn bħalissa jidher l-avviz "Żomm ruħek aġġornat mal-Wikipedija Maltija billi tissieħeb magħna fuq Facebook."? Idealment dan jidher fuq is-sit tal-Wikipedija bil-Malti matul il-perjodu kollu tal-konkors: 21 ta' Marzu sal-31 ta' Mejju. Grazzi. --ToniSant (d) 20:43, 10 Mar 2020 (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 wieġeb 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 these pages: the main project page, Updates, Replying, and User testing.

Tell us about Maltese Wikipedia
Hello. The page Tell us about Maltese Wikipedia on Meta is still empty. It is a rather simple questionnaire, useful to let people know that MT.wiki is alive and kicking :) (see Tell us about your Wikipedia). Maybe we can fill it together? Please add your inputs under each question below. Cheers, --Dans (d) 15:17, 26 Apr 2020 (UTC)
- Contributors
- Wikimedia Statistics can be difficult to interpret. What is your impression, how many steady contributors do you have?
- Are your contributors mostly native speakers?
- Where do your contributors live (regions/country)?
- How common is it that your contributors meet in real life?
- Other Wikipedias
- Do you have special contacts with other Wikipedias (maybe in related languages)?
- Do you translate a lot from other Wikipedias? Which ones?
- Organization and support
- Is there a Wikimedia chapter in your country? How does your language relate to it?
- Are there work groups in other organizations about Wikipedia?
- Your Wikipedia and the linguistic community
- Is there a language institution for your language, like an Academy, or a club of people interested in your language? Do you have contact with them?
- Who (else) supports you?
- What does the public outreach for your edition look like? Do you have flyers, give lectures, training etc.?
- Do you get feedback from readers?
- What other encyclopedias exist in your language?
- Content
- Does your edition concentrate on certain topics, like your region and language, or Latin Wikipedia on Roman history and Christianity?
- Did your edition enjoy text donations, for example from older encyclopedias?
- Language
- Is there a generally accepted norm about your language (spelling, dictionary, pronunciation)?
- How do you deal with different spellings, dialects etc. (like B.E. lift and A.E. elevator)?
- Thanks for flagging this up, Dans! I think it's your sharing it here is also a good way to assess the current state of engagement on mt.wikipedia. I will attempt to answer some of the questions directly if no one else comes forward within a couple of weeks from your first request. --ToniSant (d) 15:18, 5 Mejj 2020 (UTC)
Artikli ta' linja waħda
@ToniSant:
@Nevborg:
Naħseb fil-wikipedija tagħna għandha ż-żejjed artikli ta' linja waħda. Waqt li ma rridux inkunu intolleranti jien tal-fehma li dan inaqqas mis-serjetà tal-wikipedija. Ħafna minn dawn jinkitbu b'Google translate, aktarx minn nies li jridu jidhru li kitbu ħafna artikli jew għax iridu jirreklamaw ir-raħal tagħhom eċċ.
Pereżempju hemm artiklu ta' linja waħda fuq kull distrett tal-Awstrija li ma jagħtix aktar informazzjoni milli hemm fl-artiklu Awstrija.
X'tip ta' pulitika għandna jkollna inkwantu artikli ta' dan it-tip?
Leli Forte (d) 16:07, 24 Mej 2020 (UTC)
- @Leli Forte: dan li qed tqajjem int huwa punt li tajjeb niċċarawh. Grazzi! Dan irridu nagħmluh fil-kuntest ta' attivitajiet regolari organizzati mill-moviment globali ta' Wikimedia, li jinkludi, per eżempju, Wikipedija:Rebbiegħa CEE 2020. Filfatt, naf fiċ-ċert li dawn l-artikoli ta' linja waħda li qed issemmi int saru kollha minn wieħed mill-organizzaturi internazzjonali ta' CEE Spring, li huwa wkoll attivist kbir ta' Wikimedia fuq aspetti oħra apparti dan is-suġġett. Il-fehma tiegħu, u ta' bosta oħra li ċert li faċli nsibuhom jekk insejħu għal kummenti f'din il-linja mingħand Wikipedisti madwar id-dinja, hija li aħjar ikollok nebbieta (hux hekk se nibdew insejħulhom l-istubs issa?) flok ħolqa ħamra. Aħjar ukoll li kull suġġett li huwa nkuż fuq Wikidata, ikun inkluż ukoll b'kemm jista' jkun lingwi, u wieħed mill-modi effiċjenti biex isir huwa li tinħoloq imqar nebbieta fil-Wikipedia ta' kull lingwa.
- Li naħseb li għandu jkollna politika ċara huwa fejn jidħol kif nimmarkaw dawn il-paġni bħala nebbieta kważi awtomatikament, anke forsi bl-użu ta' xi bot. Hawn għandna bżonn direzzjoni mingħand @Chrisportelli: kif ukoll aktar kunsiderazzjoni għal ħidma li qed jagħmel @Scutajar: fuq il-mudelli għan-nebbieta.
- Xi ħaġa oħra li tajjeb nagħmlu, u hawn fejn jidħol b'mod partikolari @Nevborg: huwa li naraw li jkollna aktar opportunitajiet biex jinħolqu paġni essenzjali biex l-enċikolpedija tittieħed aktar bis-serjetà. Punt importanti ieħor li qed tqajjem int (Leli Forte) f'dan li qed tgħid. --ToniSant (d) 10:46, 29 Mej 2020 (UTC)

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 "Għodda għad-diskussjoni". 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.

Paġna fuq Facebook
Fuq mt.wiki jidher Central Notice b'ħolqa għal paġna ta' Facebook li ilha ma tiġi aġġornata mill-2017. [1] Jiena ktibt nota diretta lil din il-paġna 3 darbiet biex nara nistax noffri aġġornamenti fiha, speċjalment vis-a-vis affarijiet li għandhom x'jaqsmu direttament ma' mt.wiki. L-aħħar darba li ħallejt nota kif madwar xahar ilu.
Hawn xi ħadd li jaf aktar dwar din il-paġna fuq Facebook? Nixtieq ħafna li l-kommunità ta' mt.wiki tagħmel użu aħjar minn din il-paġna. L-alternattiva hija li nibdew proċess biex titneħħa sew minn fuq FB kif ukoll minn mis-Central Notice. Grazzi. --ToniSant (d) 10:38, 18 Ġun 2020 (UTC)
- Għaddew diversi ġimgħat (aktar minn xahar) minn meta ktibt dwar il-paġna fuq Facebook vis-a-vis is-Central Notice. Intant graw żewġ affarijiet: (1) propjament ma ġara xejn min-naħa tal-pagna ta' Facebook li ilha ma' tiġi aġġornata minn 2017, u (2) skoprjt li l-avviż li jidher fuq mt.wikipedia bħalissa għandna aċċess lokali biex inbiddluh li jissejjaħ Site Notice u m'hemmx bżonn nirrikorru għas-Central Notice.
- Allura se nipproponi żewġ affarijiet: (a) li nbiddlu s-Site Notice mill-aktar fis possibli biex tkun dwar xi ħaġa relevant, u (b) nibdew il-proċess pjuttost twil biex ikunu nies attivi fuq mt.wikipedia li għandhom aċċess amministrattiv għal dik il-paġna fuq FB. Fil-fehma tiegħi dawn iż-żewġ affarijiet għandhom jinżammu separati minn xulxin, anke għax fil-verità huma tassew separati u differenti minn xulxin. Niskuża ruħi jekk forsi ħawwadthom ftit, speċjalment qabel ma skoprejt naqra aktar dwar kif taħdem Central Notice vs Site Notice. --ToniSant (d) 15:32, 24 Lul 2020 (UTC)
Annual contest Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos
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,

Feedback on movement names
Hello. Apologies if you are not reading this message in your native language. Please help translate to your language if necessary. Grazzi!
There are a lot of conversations happening about the future of our movement names. We hope that you are part of these discussions and that your community is represented.
Since 16 June, the Foundation Brand Team has been running a survey in 7 languages about 3 naming options. There are also community members sharing concerns about renaming in a Community Open Letter.
Our goal in this call for feedback is to hear from across the community, so we encourage you to participate in the survey, the open letter, or both. The survey will go through 7 July in all timezones. Input from the survey and discussions will be analyzed and published on Meta-Wiki.
Thanks for thinking about the future of the movement, --The Brand Project team, 19:42, 2 Lul 2020 (UTC)
Note: The survey is conducted via a third-party service, which may subject it to additional terms. For more information on privacy and data-handling, see the survey privacy statement.

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
Hi 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 [1] 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 [2]. 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 [3]. 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)

/* Interfaċċja mhux bit-Taljan */
Bi tkomplija ta' dak li bdejna niddiskutu hawn ma' @Chrisportelli: ftit ilu, @Nevborg: u jien tkellimna dwar dan waqt il-konferenza Celtic Knot 2020 riċentament. Sibna l-appoġġ ta' diversi membri tal-Moviment tal-Wikimedia li għandhom esperjenza sew f'dan il-qasam saru xi modifiki meħtieħa biex l-Ingliż jieħu post it-Taljan fl-interfaċċja ta' mt.wikipedia sa ma nittraduċu dak kollu li hemm bżonn jinqaleb għall-Malti. Dawn il-modifiki marbutin ukoll ma' dan il-biljett fuq Phabricator. Dan qed isir l-aktar wara li diversi membri tal-kommunità attivi ma' WCM tkellmu dwar ix-xewqa tagħhom li jaraw l-Ingliż flok it-Taljan fejn m'hemmx traduzzjoni Maltija, anke għax l-Ingliż, u mhux it-Taljan, huwa l-lingwa uffiċjali ta' Malta flimkien mal-Malti.
Jekk tixtieq tesprimi l-fehma tiegħek dwar dan, tista' tagħmel dan billi anke tuża wieħed minn dawn il-mudelli hawn taħt: Favur {{Favur}} / Newtrali {{Newtrali}} / Kontra {{Kontra}}. Grazzi. --ToniSant (d) 10:56, 13 Lul 2020 (UTC)
- Favur: Jiena favur din ix-xewqa tal-kommunità WCM li nbiddlu l-lingwa bażi fuq l-interfaċċja ta' mt.wikipedia mit-Taljan għall-Ingliż. --ToniSant (d) 10:56, 13 Lul 2020 (UTC)
- Favur: Jiena favur il-proposta li l-lingwa bażi fuq l-interfaċċja tinbidel għall-Ingliż. Naħseb li din il-bidla tkun ta' benefiċċju kemm għal utenti li huma attivi fuq mt.wikipedia, kif ukoll għal dawk li għadhom jibdew jew jixtiequ jżidu l-attivita' tagħhom. --Nevborg (d) 12:49, 14 Lul 2020 (UTC)

- Favur: Naqbel li jkun bil-Malti jew bl-Ingliż. --Xwejnusgozo (d) 18:20, 22 Lul 2020 (UTC)
Grazzi tal-fehmiet espressi fl-aħħar jiem fuq din il-biċċa. Il-każ tressaq b'suċċess fil-Phabricator u issa tmexxa l-proċess biex isir ir-revizzjoni meħtieġa fl-upgrade li jmiss tal-MediaWiki fuq il-Wikipedia. Dan ifisser fi ftit jiem oħra l-Ingliż se jieħu post it-Taljan fl-interfaċċja ta' mt.wikipedia kull fejn għad m'hemmx traduzzjoni bil-Malti. Tajjeb ngħidu li hemm ukoll rieda min-naħa ta' WCM biex isiru aktar traduzzjonijet fuq l-interfaċċja b'mod pro-attiv. Min hu interessat dwar dan jista' jikkuntattja lili direttament għal aktar tagħrif. --ToniSant (d) 09:28, 23 Lul 2020 (UTC)
- Aġġorament tal-aħħar dwar din il-biċċa: mil-lum (4 t'Awwissu 2020) l-interfaċċja ta' mt.wikipedia tmur għall-Ingliż flok għat-Taljan fejn m'hemmx Malti. Naturalment, it-traduzzjoni għall-Malti tal-interfaċċja tkompli! Grazzi lil kulħadd tal-appoġġ. --ToniSant (d) 18:02, 4 Awwissu 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I've added a wikicommons image for en:Giornale di Malta and also translated it into Italian and Maltese. Could someone please revise the translation? :) Grazzi hafna, --Dans (d) 15:18, 21 Lul 2020 (UTC)
- I've had a first stab at it but it needs a little more work to be on par with the other languages in which you've created it. I'll hopefully manage to get back to it a little later or perhaps someone else will beat me to it. Wouldn't that be great? --ToniSant (d) 16:17, 21 Lul 2020 (UTC)
- Grazzi Toni. I'm trying to mobilise @Elgalea: too ;) Meanwhile I've created Foglio d'Avvisi, L'Argo & Il Cartaginese, plus Malta (Quotidiano Nazionalista) - also to be revised. Next ones would be en:Journal de Malte & en:Malta Government Gazette, but these are longer and it would be better to start with a revised translation already. We'll see. --Dans (d) 15:25, 22 Lul 2020 (UTC)
- That's really good...especially the bit about mobilising @Elgalea:! Perhaps you can both join us during the online Wiki Malta Meetup this Thursday at 6pm CEST. Aside from planning for Wiki Loves Monuments we're also hoping to discuss some sort of strategy for Wikipedija:Lista ta' artikli li kull Wikipedija għandu jkollha, as per your suggestion at an earlier online session. --ToniSant (d) 16:15, 22 Lul 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks Toni, I will try to be there tomorrow to also discuss about WLM. Meanwhile, is there maybe a template or a category for "Article in need of a linguistic revision"? That would come handy to me... --Dans (d) 16:42, 22 Lul 2020 (UTC)
- I can write the article on the Government Gazette. --Xwejnusgozo (d) 17:08, 22 Lul 2020 (UTC)

The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC): we want to hear from you.
Hello. Apologies that you may not be reading this message in your native language: translations of the following message may be available on Meta. Please help translate to your language. Grazzi!
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.

Technical Wishes: FileExporter and FileImporter become default features on all Wikis
The 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.

- L-opinjoni tiegħi hija li filwaqt li nemmen li hemm post xieraq għat-traduzzjoni b'għodda elettronika, il-Wikipedija hija enciklopedija, qabel kollox, u mhux eżerċizzju fit-tħaddim ta' lingwa jew oħra. Biex isir xogħol ta' traduzzjoni sew b'għodda elettronika irid ikun hemm interventi umani, dejjem. Li xi ħadd jagħmel traduzzjoni b'għodda elettronika mingħajr garanzija t'intervent uman biex jissewwa dak li ma sarx sew fit-traduzzjoni awtomatika ikun qed ifixkel mhux jgħin fit-tkabbir tal-Wikipedija b'dik il-lingwa. --ToniSant (d) 19:24, 1 Settembru 2020 (UTC)

Wiki of functions naming contest
Please help translate to your language
Hello. Please help pick a name for the new Wikimedia wiki project. This project will be a wiki where the community can work together on a library of functions. The community can create new functions, read about them, discuss them, and share them. Some of these functions will be used to help create language-independent Wikipedia articles that can be displayed in any language, as part of the Abstract Wikipedia project. But functions will also be usable in many other situations.
There will be two rounds of voting, each followed by legal review of candidates, with voting beginning on 29 September and 27 October. Our goal is to have a final project name selected on 8 December. If you would like to participate, then please learn more and vote now at meta-wiki. Grazzi! --Quiddity (WMF)21:22, 29 Settembru 2020 (UTC)
Dumping ground
Jidhirli li l-mt-wiki qed issir dumping ground għal artikli b'traduzzjoni elettronika min-nies li ma jafux bil-Malti.
Leli Forte (d) 16:37, 30 Settembru 2020 (UTC)
- @Leli Forte: Nifhem x'inhu jdejjqek, anke jekk ma naħsibx li dumping ground huwa l-mod ideali kif niddeskrivu dak li qed jiġri. Jidher li hemm xi Wikipedjani li joperaw fuq inizjattivi ta' traduzzjoni li jaħsbu li kull lingwa għandha r-riżorsi ssewwi artikli miktuba bil-għodda elettronika għat-traduzzjoni. Fortunatament, però, xi għodda biex nieħdu ħsieb dan li qed jiġri għandna xorta. Il-biċċa l-kbira tal-artikli miktuba b'dan il-mod qed jidħlu awtomatikament hawn Kategorija:Pages_with_unreviewed_translations. Minn żmien għal żmien ikun tajjeb naraw x'jista' jsir dwarhom dawn. Jien ma nemminx li għandhom jitħassru kollha għax hemm xi preġju f'uħud minnhom, speċjalment dawk li diġà jorbtu mal-Wikidata.
- Inċidentalment, anke jekk mhux relatat direttament ma' dan l-ilment tiegħek, tajjeb ngħidlek ukoll li l-Wikimedia Community Malta qed tħejji biex tagħmel xi xogħol direttament ma' tradutturi professjonali bit-tama li uħud minnhom jitħajjru jibdew jikkontribwixxu fuq bażi aktar regolari. Dan huwa parti mill-inizjattiva Wikipedija:Wikipedia 20 li se tkun varata dalwaqt. --ToniSant (d) 10:08, 14 Diċembru 2020 (UTC)

Wikimedia Malta Hackathon
Nhar it-Tnejn 2 ta' Novembru il-Wikimedia Community Malta se torganizza l-ewwel hackathon tagħha onlajn mis-6pm. Ingħaqad magħna permezz ta' din il-ħolqa.
Fost affarijiet oħra se nkunu qed naħdmu biex nirranġaw mudelli għar-referenzi u infoboxes b'data miġbura awtomatikament minn Wikidata. --ToniSant (d) 10:20, 28 Ottubru 2020 (UTC)
- Nispera li dawn ħa tittraduċuhom fl-istess ħin għax inkella ħa jibqgħu bl-Inġliż għal dejjem. Għaliex ma niddiskutux il-vantaġġi u l-iżvantaġġi tagħhom qabel ma nagħmlu ħafna xogħol? Pereżempju f'Edward Caruana Dingli, Nazzjonalità = Ir-Renju Unit tal-Gran Brittanja u l-Irlanda, waqt li it-test jgħid pittur Malti. Teknikament veru għax kien qabel l-indipendenza. Imma jien qabel l-indipendenza xorta kont Malti.
- Jien nippreferi kieku nagħmlu infobox tagħna u niggarantixxu li din tkun bil-Malti. Hekk jew hekk mhux aktar difficli li tieħu l-informazzjoni minn Wikidata manwalment milli toqgħod tittraduċiha.
- L-aktar li għandna bżonn artikli serji ġodda.
- @Leli Forte:Qed tqajjem punti validissimi hawn. Grazzi tassew ta' dan il-kontribut!
- L-idea oriġinali tal-hackathon kienet li niffokaw biss fuq mudelli għar-referenzi propju biex isiru aktar artikli serji u sura, kif qed tgħid int. Intant, però tfaċċat il-kwistjoni tal-mudelli tal-infoboxes. Li qed nipproponi jien (flimkien ma' WCM) huwa li naraw kif dawn jistgħu jiġu tradotti għall-Malti b'mod permanenti. Id-data fuq Wikidata bil-Malti dejjem tiżdied u allura ma nistgħux nagħżlu li ninjoraw dan l-iżvilupp fl-ekosistema tal-Wikipedia. Din il-biċċa ta' Wikidata qed iħares lejha ukoll @Nevborg: bħala parti mir-riċerka tad-dottorat tiegħu. Spiċċa ż-żmien li naħsbu dwar il-paġni tal-Wikipedia bħala entità separata minn x'hemm fuq Wikidata dwar l-istess suġġett. Allura mhux każ li nagħmlu tagħna infoboxes, skont jien, imma li naraw kif nistgħu naħdmu aħjar vis-a-vis dak li jidher fuq Wikidata fejn hemm infobox fuq paġna partikolari.
- Għall-iskop tas-suċċess tal-hackathon ta' nhar it-Tnejn, jiena se nara li niffokaw kemm nistgħu fuq il-mudelli tar-referenzi. Skont min aktar jiġi għall-hackathon, jaf naraw ukoll dwar il-mudelli tal-infoboxes u r-rabta ma' Wikidata bil-Malti. Din tal-aħħar mhux pressanti daqs il-bżonn ta' mudelli sura għar-referenzi, fil-fehma umli tiegħi. Hemm ukoll lok ta' hackathon jew editatona separata vis-a-vis il-biċċa tal-Wikidata b'mod aktar ġenerali. —ToniSant (d) 09:52, 29 Ottubru 2020 (UTC)

Dear all, I had the pleasure of speaking with ToniSant for the new episode of Vjaġġi Enċiklopediċi on Campus FM, touching upon my past experience as Wikipedian-in-residence as well as my recent engagement with Wikimedia Community Malta and with mt.wiki. You can listen to it here: https://archive.org/details/VEToniSant007. Hope you may enjoy it, let me know your views! :) --Dans (d) 16:09, 17 Novembru 2020 (UTC)
- @Dans: Grazzi! I've started listing the series on my mt.wikipedia userpage now too. I think that once the series is over, I'll probably create a page about it in the Wikipedija namespace with links to the respect CC-by-SA recordings of all the programmes, which probably belong on Wikimedia Common by the end of the series. --ToniSant (d) 10:36, 18 Novembru 2020 (UTC)
The 2021 Community Wishlist Survey is now open! This survey is the process where communities decide what the Community Tech team should work on over the next year.

Wikidata descriptions changes to be included more often in Recent Changes and Watchlist
Sorry 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!
