Wikipedija:Pjazza/Arkivju 2022
Din il-paġna għandha diskussjonijiet li ġew arkivjati mill-Pjazza. Jekk jogħġbok timmodifikax il-kontenut ta' din il-paġna. Jekk tixtieq terġa' tqajjem diskussjoni, jew agħmel intervent ġdid jew uża l-paġna ta' diskussjoni assoċjata ma' dak is-suġġett.
Paġna Prinċipali
Fuq il-paġna prinċipali hemm item: Kommemorazzjonijiet...
Dan konna ħadnieh mit-Taljan:Oggi ricorre.... Ħlief għal xi ftit ġranet tas-sena dan ikun fih biss il-qaddisin ikkommemorati mill-Knisja Kattolika. Ta' min iżommu dan l-item?
Hemm ukoll Vetrina li rari jkun hemm xi ħaġa fiha. Nistgħu nuruha biss meta jkollna xi ħaġa x'nuru?
Leli Forte (d) 19:43, 16 Mej 2020 (UTC)
- Rigward il-Vetrina naħseb li tkun idea tajba li nippruvaw nerġgħu nqajjmuha. Fid-disinn il-ġdid li pproponejt hemma l-kaxxa tal-Vetrina però li nistgħu nagħmlu hu li kif qed tgħid int tinħeba meta ma jkunx hemm. —Chrisportelli (d) 06:07, 17 Mej 2020 (UTC)
- L-aktar milli nikkunsidraw inżommux dan l-item naħseb li tajjeb naraw hemmx lok li jsiru waħda minn żewġ affarijiet, jekk mhux it-tnejn: jew (a) naraw jistgħu jinħolqu paġni dwar dan il-qaddisin anke biex ma jkollnix daqs tant ħoloq ħomor fuq il-paġna prinċiali, u/jew (b) insibu mezz biex inżidu aktar magħhom flok qaddisin biss, jew kważi. Meta kont naħdem ma'/fuq aboutmalta.com kellna servizz ta' On This Day in Maltese History din kienet waħda mill-aktar paġni li kienet tiġbed nies lejha.
- Dwar il-veterina naqbel kompletament ma' li qed tgħidu. @Nevborg: Kif għaddi r-Rebbiegħa CEE 2020 nistgħu naraw ma' WCM forsi nistgħu naraw noħolqux edit-a-tona fuq hekk, anke possibilment b'rabta ma' dan li jidher hawn rigward paġni vitali għal mt.wikipedia. --ToniSant (d) 16:12, 19 Mej 2020 (UTC)
- @Chrisportelli: Is-sena t-tajba! Bl-għajnuna ta' Utent:Dans ħdimna naqra fuq verżjoni tikka differenti minn dik li pproponejt int u jekk m'hemmx oġġezzjoni mingħandek jew xi ħadd ieħor (b'mod partikolari Leli Forte (naqbel miegħek dwar il-Vetrina) u Nevborg (naqbel miegħek dwar il-mod kif ninvolvu lill-kommunità) li kienu parti mid-diskussjoni s'issa, allura għada filgħaxija noħorġuha għall-pubbliku bħala parti mill-ħidma li għaddejja bħalissa mill-kommunità b'rabta ma' Wikipedija:Wikipedia 20. Il-verżjoni li qed nipproponu tinstab hawn. Grazzi dejjem! --ToniSant (d) 18:19, 18 Jannar 2021 (UTC)
- Forsi nista' nerġa' nqajjem id-diskussjoni dwar "Kommemorazzjonijiet". Araw ir-rimarka fil-bidu ta' din it-taqsima. —Leli Forte (d) 12:06, 19 Jannar 2021 (UTC)
- @Leli Forte: iva, grazzi. Punt tajjeb ħafna dan! Dwaru kien hemm żewġ kummenti fid-diskussjonijiet tal-kommunità illejla stess. L-ewwel huwa li hemm lok noħolqu attivitajiet biex intejbuh. Hemm il-mudell ta' 'On this day' mill-Ingliż li jidher ferm aħjar minn tat-Taljan għax rari jinkludi qaddisin. It-tieni ħaġa hija li jekk inneħħuh ħabta u sabta il-Paġna Prinċipali taf tinħass naqra vojta. Allura, dan li qed tgħid int huwa mhux biss punt tajjeb imma wieħed validissimu u li WCM qed tħares biex tużah fit-tfassil tal-attivitajiet tagħha. Aktarx induru għal dan mill-ewwel wara li tgħaddi l-kampanja biex inżidu artikli dwar suġġetti essenzjali fil-Wikipedija bħala parti minn Wikipedia 20. --ToniSant (d) 17:16, 19 Jannar 2021 (UTC)
- @Leli Forte:@ToniSant: Naqbel li s-sezzjoni dwar "Kommemorazzjonijiet" tista titneħħa. Sa fejn naf jien din hija serje ta' files individwali li jridu jitneħħew individwalment. Jien naħseb li l-mudell Ingliż joffri iżjed varjazzjoni fit-tip ta' avvenimenti u nies li jiġu mfakkra. Naħseb ukoll li fiha ftit xogħol u ħsieb biex norganizzaw l-affarijiet sew - forsi nistgħu niddedikaw ftit ħin biex nippjanaw għalija waqt l-avvenimenti ta' Wikipedia 20 fil-ġimgħat li ġejjin? --Nevborg (d) 17:52, 19 Jannar 2021 (UTC)

Abbozz
Nixtieq nerġa niftaħ id-diskussjoni fuq it-terminu "abbozz".
Dan konna iddusketejnieh hawn:
https://mt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedija:Pjazza/Arkivju_2008#Stub_jew_Abbozz?
Xi artikli qsar ħafna ma jixirqilhom li jissejħu "abbozz" pereżemju https://mt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papa .
Jien kont għedt: "Togħġobni l-idea tal-Olandiż: "Begintje" jew "bidu żgħir". Forsi jmissna nivvintaw kliem ġdid fejn ma nsibux kelma adekwata bħal "bdejju" - bidu żgħir! "
Kont issuġġerejt ukoll "nibbieta".
Leli Forte (d) 15:59, 19 Mej 2020 (UTC)
- @Leli Forte: Grazzi tassew ta' din. "Abbozz" huwa aktar "draft", skond jien. Fl-ispirtu ta' dan li qed tipproponi inti, flok "stub" jiena kieku nipproponi "loqma" - xi tgħid?
- Apparti hekk dan l-aħħar konna qed nitkellmu ukoll dwar aktar parametri li nistgħu norbtu mal-mudell {{stub}}. @Scutajar: x'taħseb dwar din il-biċċa kollha? --ToniSant (d) 16:19, 19 Mej 2020 (UTC)
- @ToniSant:Personalment "loqma" ma tantx togħġobni għax negattiva. Aquilina għal "loqma" jagħti piece of bread, morsel, a crust of bread. Kieku nippreferi xi ħaġa bħal "Bidu ċkejken" jew "Nibbieta" fis-sens li l-artiklu ħa jikber minnha.
- Leli Forte (d) 16:39, 19 Mej 2020 (UTC)
- @ToniSant: Milli rajt fuq il-Wikipedija bl-Ingliż, donnhom jintużaw mudelli differenti skont il-kategorija tal-artiklu, imma forsi kellek xi ideat oħra? Rigward l-isem, kemm "loqma" kif ukoll "nibbieta" jogħġbuni, imma minix l-ikbar espert fuq x'isem għandu jingħata. —Scutajar (d) 11:32, 20 Mej 2020 (UTC)
- @Leli Forte u Scutajar:: Nasal naqbel magħkom faċilment. Loqma tassew li għandha konnotazzjonijiet negattivi, anke minħabba loqma ta' sigarett. Naħseb "nibbieta" ideali però mhux ċert għandiex tkun "nebbieta" minflok; araw hawn. --ToniSant (d) 18:44, 21 Mej 2020 (UTC)
- @ToniSant:: Aquilina M-E jagħti t-tnejn (nibbieta/nebbieta). Jien kuntent bit-tnejn.
- @Leli Forte u Scutajar:: Nasal naqbel magħkom faċilment. Loqma tassew li għandha konnotazzjonijiet negattivi, anke minħabba loqma ta' sigarett. Naħseb "nibbieta" ideali però mhux ċert għandiex tkun "nebbieta" minflok; araw hawn. --ToniSant (d) 18:44, 21 Mej 2020 (UTC)
- Kont issuġġerejt dan:
 |
Dan l-artiklu huwa nibbieta li nittamaw li minnha jinbet artiklu sħiħ. Jekk trid, tista' tikkontribwixxi issa biex tkabbar u tiżviluppa dan l-artiklu, dejjem skont il-konvenzjonijiet tal-Wikipedija. Għal-lista tan-nibbitiet kollha, ara l-kategorija li għandha x'taqsam. |
- Leli Forte (d) 16:47, 22 Mej 2020 (UTC)
- @Leli Forte: Din id-diskussjoni qamet ukoll waqt l-aħħar editathon tal-Wikipedija:Rebbiegħa CEE 2020 ma' ToniSant, Mewga, Angie Balzan, EnriqueTabone, u Scutajar. Il-kunsens ġenerali kien li nużaw "nebbieta" u l-plural kollettiv ta' "nebbitiet". Naħseb jekk ma hemm l-ebda oġġezzjoni nistgħu mmexxu b'dan il-mod. --Nevborg (d) 16:47, 29 Mej 2020 (UTC)
Araw diskussjoni oħra:
https://mt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedija:Pjazza/Arkivju_2009#Stub
Abbozzi oħra
Hemm ukoll:
 |
Dan l-artiklu ġie abbandunat. Jekk trid, tista' tikkontribwixxi issa biex tkompli dan l-artiklu, dejjem skont il-konvenzjonijiet tal-Wikipedija. |
u abbozzi bis-suġġett
 |
Dan l-artiklu dwar il-matematika huwa nebbieta. Jekk trid, tista' tikkontribwixxi issa biex ittejjeb dan l-artiklu, dejjem skont il-konvenzjonijiet tal-Wikipedija. |
Leli Forte (d) 16:56, 22 Mej 2020 (UTC)
- @Leli Forte: Bħala azzjoni konkreta vis-a-vis dak li kiteb dwaru @Nevborg: hawn fuq, @Scutajar: u jien ħidmna biċċa sew illum biex nibdew naqilbu dawk li kienu abbozzi/stubs għal nebbieta, a bażi ta' dak li ddiskutejna fuq il-proposta tiegħek. Idealment, id-diskussjoni issa għandha timxi għal hawn u b'hekk nibdew nifirdu ħidma fuq livell infrastrutturali fuq dan l-aspett u dawk ta' politika ta' kif jitħaddmu, kif bdejna anke niddiskutu ukoll hawn taħt fis-suġġett/taqsima li jmiss. --ToniSant (d) 19:05, 29 Mej 2020 (UTC)

Call for Feedback about the Board of Trustees elections is now open
The Call for Feedback: Board of Trustees elections is now open and will close on 7 February 2022.
With this Call for Feedback, the Movement Strategy and Governance team is taking a different approach. This approach incorporates community feedback from 2021. Instead of leading with proposals, the Call is framed around key questions from the Board of Trustees. The key questions came from the feedback about the 2021 Board of Trustees election. The intention is to inspire collective conversation and collaborative proposal development about these key questions.
Best,
Movement Strategy and Governance

Updates on the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines Review
Hello everyone,
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees released a statement on the ratification process for the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement Guidelines.
The Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) provides a baseline of acceptable behavior for the entire movement. The UCoC and the Enforcement Guidelines were written by volunteer-staff drafting committees following community consultations.
The revised guidelines were published 24 January 2022 as a proposed way to apply the policy across the movement. There is a list of changes made to the guidelines after the enforcement draft guidelines review. Comments about the guidelines can be shared on the Enforcement Guidelines talk page on Meta-wiki.
To help to understand the guidelines and process, the Movement Strategy and Governance (MSG) team will be hosting Conversation Hours on 4 February 2022 at 15:00 UTC, 25 February 2022 at 12:00 UTC, and 4 March 2022 at 15:00 UTC. Join the conversation hours to speak with the UCoC project team and drafting committee members about the updated guidelines and voting process.
The timeline is available on Meta-wiki. The voting period is March 7 to 21. All eligible voters will have an opportunity to support or oppose the adoption of the Enforcement guidelines, and share why. See the voting information page for more details.
Many participants from across the movement have provided valuable input in these ongoing conversations. The UCoC and MSG teams want to thank the Drafting Committee and the community members for their contributions to this process.
Sincerely,
Movement Strategy and Governance

Invitation to Hubs event: Global Conversation on 2022-03-12 at 13:00 UTC
Hello!
The Movement Strategy and Governance team of the Wikimedia Foundation would like to invite you to the next event about "Regional and Thematic Hubs". The Wikimedia Movement is in the process of understanding what Regional and Thematic Hubs should be. Our workshop in November was a good start (read the report), but we're not finished yet.
Over the last weeks we conducted about 16 interviews with groups working on establishing a Hub in their context (see Hubs Dialogue). These interviews informed a report that will serve as a foundation for discussion on March 12. The report is planned to be published on March 9.
The event will take place on March 12, 13:00 to 16:00 UTC on Zoom. Interpretation will be provided in French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, and Portuguese. Registration is open, and will close on March 10. Anyone interested in the topic is invited to join us. More information on the event on Meta-wiki.

Coming soon: Improvements for templates
Hello, more changes around templates are coming to your wiki soon:
The template dialog in VisualEditor and in the 2017 Wikitext Editor (beta) will be improved fundamentally: This should help users understand better what the template expects, how to navigate the template, and how to add parameters.
In syntax highlighting (CodeMirror extension), you can activate a colorblind-friendly color scheme with a user setting.
Deployment is planned for May 10. This is the last set of improvements from WMDE Technical Wishes' focus area “Templates”.
We would love to hear your feedback on our talk pages!

Revisions to the Universal Code of Conduct (UCoC) Enforcement Guidelines
Hello all,
We'd like to provide an update on the work on the Enforcement Guidelines for the Universal Code of Conduct. After the conclusion of the community vote on the guidelines in March, the Community Affairs committee (CAC) of the Board asked that several areas of the guidelines be reviewed for improvements before the Board does its final review. These areas were identified based on community discussions and comments provided during the vote. The CAC also requested review of the controversial Note in 3.1 of the UCoC itself.
Once more, a big thank you to all who voted, especially to all who left constructive feedback and comments! The project team is working with the Board to establish a timeline for this work, and will communicate this next month.
Members of the two prior UCoC Drafting Committees have generously offered their time to help shape improvements to the Guidelines. You can read more about them and their work here, as well as read summaries of their weekly meetings in 2022.
Wikimedians have provided many valuable comments together with the vote and in other conversations. Given the size and diversity of the Wikimedia community, there are even more voices out there who can give ideas on how to improve the enforcement guidelines and add even more valuable ideas to the process. To help the Revisions committee identify improvements, input on several questions for the committee’s review is requested. Visit the Meta-wiki pages (Enforcement Guidelines revision discussions, Policy text revision discussions) to get your ideas to the Committee - it is very important that viewpoints are heard from different communities before the Committee begins drafting revision proposals.
On behalf of the UCoC project team

Enabling Section Translation: a new mobile translation experience
Hello Maltese Wikipedians!
Apologies as this message is not in Maltese 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 translation tool in Maltese Wikipedia. For this, our team will love you to read about the tool and test it so you can:
- Give us your feedback
- Ask us questions
- Tell us how to improve it.
Below is background information about Section translation, why we have chosen your community, and how to test it.
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. The Wikimedia Foundation Language team has improved the translation experience further with the Section Translation. The WMF Language team enabled the early version of the tool in February in Bengali Wikipedia. Through their feedback, the tool was improved and ready for your community to test and help us with feedback to make it better.
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.
Maltese Wikipedia seems an ideal candidate to enjoy this new tool since data shows significant mobile editing activity.
We plan to enable the tool on Maltese Wikipedia in the coming weeks if there are no objections from your community. After it is enabled, we’ll monitor the content created with the tool and process all the feedback. In any case, feel free to raise any concerns or questions you may already have in any of the following formats:
- As a reply to this message
- On the project talk page.
Try the tool
Before the enablement, you can try the current implementation of the tool in our testing instance. Once it is enabled on Maltese Wikipedia, you’ll have access to https://mt.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 in any of the formats you are most comfortable with. We want to hear about your impressions on:
- The tool
- What you think about our plans to enable it
- Your ideas for improving the tool.
Thanks, and we look forward to your feedback and questions.
UOzurumba (WMF) (d) 05:23, 7 Lulju 2022 (UTC) On behalf of the WMF Language team
PS: Sending your feedback or questions in English is particularly appreciated. But, you can still send them in the language of your choice.
Section Translation tool enabled in Maltese Wikipedia
Hello Friends!
The Language team is pleased to let you know that the Section Translation tool is now enabled in Maltese Wikipedia. It means you can translate real content one section at a time using your mobile devices with ease.
Now you can also start translating an article on your mobile device right when you notice it is missing in Maltese. From a Wikipedia article in any language, switch languages and search for Malti. If the article does not exist, an option to translate it will appear, as shown in the image below.
Content created with the tool will be marked with the “sectiontranslation” tag for the community to review. We’ll monitor the content created, but we are very interested in hearing about your experience using the tool and reviewing the content created with it.
So, enjoy the tool and provide feedback on improving it.
Thank you!

Propose statements for the 2022 Election Compass
Hi all,
Community members in the 2022 Board of Trustees election are invited to propose statements to use in the Election Compass.
An Election Compass is a tool to help voters select the candidates that best align with their beliefs and views. The community members will propose statements for the candidates to answer using a Lickert scale (agree/neutral/disagree). The candidates’ answers to the statements will be loaded into the Election Compass tool. Voters will use the tool by entering in their answer to the statements (agree/disagree/neutral). The results will show the candidates that best align with the voter’s beliefs and views.
- Here is the timeline for the Election Compass
- July 8 - 20: Community members propose statements for the Election Compass
- July 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and removes off-topic statements
- July 23 - August 1: Volunteers vote on the statements
- August 2 - 4: Elections Committee selects the top 15 statements
- August 5 - 12: candidates align themselves with the statements
- August 15: The Election Compass opens for voters to use to help guide their voting decision
The Elections Committee will select the top 15 statements at the beginning of August. The Elections Committee will oversee the process, supported by the Movement Strategy and Governance team. MSG will check that the questions are clear, there are no duplicates, no typos, and so on.
Best,
Movement Strategy and Governance

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?
Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Web team. In two weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.
We have been working on it for the past three years. So far, it has been the default on more than 30 wikis, including sister projects, all accounting for more than 1 billion pageviews per month. On average 87% of active logged-in users of those wikis use Vector 2022.
It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy. Logged-in users can at any time switch to any other skins. No changes are expected for users of these skins.
- Top of an article
-
Vector legacy (current default) -
Vector 2022
- A section of an article
-
Vector legacy (current default) -
Vector 2022
About the skin
[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) 04:15, 22 Settembru 2022 (UTC)
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) 23:24, 19 Ottubru 2022 (UTC)
Invitation to attend “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter” Sessions
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.

Apply for Funding through the Movement Strategy Community Engagement Package to Support Your Community
The Wikimedia Movement Strategy implementation is a collaborative effort for all Wikimedians. Movement Strategy Implementation Grants support projects that take the current state of a Movement Strategy Initiative and push it one step forward. If you are looking for an example or some guide on how to engage your community further on Movement Strategy and the Movement Strategy Implementation Grants specifically, you may find this community engagement package helpful.
The goal of this community engagement package is to support more people to access the funding they might need for the implementation work. By becoming a recipient of this grant, you will be able to support other community members to develop further grant applications that fit with your local contexts to benefit your own communities. With this package, the hope is to break down language barriers and to ensure community members have needed information on Movement Strategy to connect with each other. Movement Strategy is a two-way exchange, we can always learn more from the experiences and knowledge of Wikimedians everywhere. We can train and support our peers by using this package, so more people can make use of this great funding opportunity.
If this information interests you or if you have any further thoughts or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us as your regional facilitators to discuss further. We will be more than happy to support you. When you are ready, follow the steps on this page to apply. We look forward to receiving your application.
Best regards,

Opportunities open for the Ombuds commission and the Case Review Committee
Hi everyone! The Ombuds commission (OC) and the Case Review Committee (CRC) are looking for members. People are encouraged to nominate themselves or encourage others they feel would contribute to these groups to do so. There is more information below about the opportunity and the skills that are needed.
About the Ombuds commission
The Ombuds commission (OC) works on all Wikimedia projects to investigate complaints about violations of the privacy policy, especially in use of CheckUser and Oversight (also known as Suppression) tools. The Commission mediates between the parties of the investigation and, when violations of the policies are identified, advises the Wikimedia Foundation on best handling. They may also assist the General Counsel, the Chief Executive Officer, or the Board of Trustees of the Foundation in these investigations when legally necessary. For more on the OC's duties and roles, see Ombuds commission on Meta-Wiki.
Volunteers serving in this role should be experienced Wikimedians, active on any project, who have previously used the CheckUser/Oversight tools OR who have the technical ability to understand these tools and the willingness to learn them. They must be able to communicate in English, the common language of the commission. They are expected to be able to engage neutrally in investigating these concerns and to know when to recuse when other roles and relationships may cause conflict. Commissioners will serve two-year terms (note that this is different from past years, when the terms have been for one year).
About the Case Review Committee
The Case Review Committee (CRC) reviews appeals of eligible Trust & Safety office actions. The CRC is a critical layer of oversight to ensure that Wikimedia Foundation office actions are fair and unbiased. They also make sure the Wikimedia Foundation doesn’t overstep established practices or boundaries. For more about the role, see Case Review Committee on Meta-Wiki.
We are looking for current or former functionaries and experienced volunteers with an interest in joining this group. Applicants must be fluent in English (additional languages are a strong plus) and willing to abide by the terms of the Committee charter. If the work resonates and you qualify, please apply. Committee members will serve two-year terms (note that this is different from past years, when the terms have been for one year).
Applying to join either of these groups
Members are required to sign the Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information and must be willing to comply with the appropriate Wikimedia Foundation board policies (such as the access to non-public information policy and the Foundation privacy policy). These positions requires a high degree of discretion and trust. Members must also be over 18 years of age.
If you are interested in serving in either capacity listed above, please write in English to the Trust and Safety team at ca wikimedia.org (to apply to the OC) or to the Legal Team at legal wikimedia.org (to apply to the CRC) with information about:
- Your primary projects
- Languages you speak/write
- Any experience you have serving on committees, whether movement or non-movement
- Your thoughts on what you could bring to the OC or CRC if appointed
- Any experience you have with the Checkuser or Oversight tools (OC only)
- Any other information you think is relevant
The deadline for applications is 31 December 2022 in any timezone.
Please feel free to pass this invitation along to any users who you think may be qualified and interested. Thank you!
On behalf of the Committee Support team,
