Nadace Wikimedia bude testovat přepínání mezi svým primárním a sekundárním datovým centrem. Tím se ujistíme, že Wikipedie a další wiki projekty zůstanou online i v případě katastrofy. Abychom se ujistili, že všechno funguje, potřebuje technologické oddělení Wikimedia provést plánovanou zkoušku. Tato zkouška ukáže, zda dokážeme spolehlivě přepnout z jednoho datového centra na druhé. Příprava zkoušky a pohotovost pro řešení všech neočekávaných problémů si vyžádá mnoho týmů.
Veškerý provoz bude přepnut 1. března. Test bude zahájen v 14:00 UTC.
Kvůli jistým omezením v MediaWiki se musí bohužel v průběhu přepínání pozastavit všechny editace. Omlouváme se za tuto nepříjemnost a pracujeme na tom, abychom ji v budoucnu minimalizovali.
Po krátký čas budete moci všechny wiki číst, ale nikoli editovat.

Seeking volunteers for the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct process
[editovat]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 ucocprojectwikimedia.org by May 12, 2023. Read more on Meta-Wiki.
Best regards,
Xeno (WMF) 26. 4. 2023, 19:01 (UTC)

Deploying the Phonos in-line audio player to your Wiki
[editovat]Dobrý den!
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!UOzurumba (WMF), on behalf of the Foundation's Language team

Review the Charter for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee
[editovat]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, 28. 8. 2023, 15:35 (UTC)

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in three weeks?
[editovat]Read this in your language • Prosíme, pomozte s překladem do svého jazyka • Please tell other users about these changes
Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Web team. In three weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.
If you prefer keeping the current skin select "Vector legacy (2010)" on the appearance tab of the global preferences and save the change. We encourage you to give the new skin a try, though.
It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy as a local (but not global) preference. Logged-in users can at any time switch to any other skin. No changes are expected for these skins.
About the skin
[editovat][Why is a change necessary] When the current default skin was created, it reflected the needs of the readers and editors as these were 14 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using the Internet and Wikimedia projects in different ways. The old Vector does not meet their needs.
[Objective] The objective for the Vector 2022 skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It introduces a series of changes that aim to improve problems new and existing readers and editors were having with the old skin. It draws inspiration from previous user requests, the Community Wishlist Surveys, and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins. The PHP code in the other available skins has been reduced by 75%. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs.
[Changes in a nutshell] The skin introduces changes that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin.
- The limited width and pin-able menus allow to adjust the interface to the screen size, and focus on editing or reading. Logged-in and logged-out users may use a toggle button to keep the full width, though.
- The sticky header makes it easier to find tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%.
- The new table of contents makes it easier to navigate to different sections. Readers and editors jump to different sections of the page 50% more than with the old table of contents. It also looks a bit different on talk pages.
- The new search bar is easier to find and makes it easier to find the correct search result from the list. This increased the amount of searches started by 30% on the tested wikis.
- The skin does not negatively affect pageviews, edit rates, or account creation. There is evidence of increases in pageviews and account creation across partner communities.
[Customize this skin] It's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts. Check out the repository for a list of currently available customizations and changes, or add your own.
Our plan
[editovat]If no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying on 14 November. If you'd like to ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please comment in any language. If this is the first comment to my message, make sure to ping me. We will gladly answer! Also, check out our FAQ. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (diskuse) 26. 10. 2023, 01:17 (UTC)

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

The meeting will take place at 3 pm UTC this month, and next month it will be scheduled for 7 am UTC on the last Saturday. This rotation will continue, allowing for a balanced representation of different time zones.
As always, the meeting agenda will be divided into two halves. The first half of the meeting will focus on non-technical updates, including discussions about events, conferences, proofread-a-thons, and collaborations. The second half will delve into technical updates and conversations, addressing major challenges faced by Wikisource communities, similar to our previous Community meetings.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection
[editovat]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)

[3] https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Minutes:2023-08-15#Governance_Committee
[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.

Vaše wiki bude brzy pouze pro čtení
[editovat]Přečíst si tuto zprávu v jiném jazyce • Prosíme, pomozte s překladem do svého jazyka
Nadace Wikimedia přepne provoz mezi svými datovými centry. Tím se ujistíme, že Wikipedie a další wiki projekty zůstanou online i v případě katastrofy.
Veškerý provoz bude přepnut 20. března. Test bude zahájen v 14:00 UTC.
Kvůli jistým omezením v MediaWiki se musí bohužel v průběhu přepínání pozastavit všechny editace. Omlouváme se za tuto nepříjemnost a pracujeme na tom, abychom ji v budoucnu minimalizovali.
Po krátký čas budete moci všechny wiki číst, ale nikoli editovat.
- Editace budou vypnuté nejvýše hodinu dne 20. března 2024 (středa).
- Pokud se v této době pokusíte editovat nebo změny uložit, zobrazí se vám chybové hlášení. Doufáme, že se v tomto období žádné editace neztratí, ale nemůžeme to zaručit. Pokud uvidíte chybové hlášení, počkejte prosím, dokud se vše nevrátí do normálu. Poté byste měli být schopni svou editaci uložit. Doporučujeme však, abyste si nejprve udělali kopii svých změn, jen pro jistotu.
Další důsledky:
- Úlohy na pozadí budou pomalejší a některé se mohou ztratit. Červené odkazy se mohou aktualizovat pomaleji než obvykle. Pokud založíte článek, který je již odkazován odjinud, zůstane odkaz červený déle, než je obvyklé. Některé dlouho běžící skripty budou muset být zastaveny.
- Předpokládáme, že nasazování nového kódu bude probíhat jako v běžném týdnu. V jednotlivých případech však může dojít k zamrazení kódu, pokud je operace následně vyžaduje.
- GitLab bude asi 90 minut nedostupný.

Switching to the Vector 2022 skin
[editovat]Read this in your language • Prosíme, pomozte s překladem do svého jazyka • Please tell other users about these changes
Hi everyone. We are the Wikimedia Foundation Web team. As you may have read in our previous message, over the past year, we have been getting closer to switching every wiki to the Vector 2022 skin as the new default. In our previous conversations with Wikisource communities, we had identified an issue with the Index namespace that prevented switching the skin on. This issue is now resolved.
We are now ready to continue and will be deploying on Wikisource wikis on March 25th.
To learn more about the new skin and what improvements it introduces, please see our documentation. If you have any issues with the skin after the change, if you spot any gadgets not working, or notice any bugs – please comment below! We are also open to joining events like the Wikisource Community meetings to talk to you directly. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (diskuse) 18. 3. 2024, 20:50 (UTC)

Hello all,
A special election has been called to fill additional vacancies on the U4C. The call for candidates phase is open from now through July 19, 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 in the special election for the U4C. For more information and the responsibilities of the U4C, please review the U4C Charter.
In this special election, according to chapter 2 of the U4C charter, there are 9 seats available on the U4C: four community-at-large seats and five regional seats to ensure the U4C represents the diversity of the movement. No more than two members of the U4C can be elected from the same home wiki. Therefore, candidates must not have English Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, or Italian Wikipedia as their home wiki.

Hello everyone,
After carefully tallying both individual and affiliate votes, the Charter Electoral Commission is pleased to announce the final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter voting.
As communicated by the Charter Electoral Commission, we reached the quorum for both Affiliate and individual votes by the time the vote closed on July 9, 23:59 UTC. We thank all 2,451 individuals and 129 Affiliate representatives who voted in the ratification process. Your votes and comments are invaluable for the future steps in Movement Strategy.
The final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter ratification voting held between 25 June and 9 July 2024 are as follows:
Individual vote:
Out of 2,451 individuals who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 2,446 have been accepted as valid votes. Among these, 1,710 voted “yes”; 623 voted “no”; and 113 selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 73.30% voted to approve the Charter (1710/2333), while 26.70% voted to reject the Charter (623/2333).
Affiliates vote:
Out of 129 Affiliates designated voters who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 129 votes are confirmed as valid votes. Among these, 93 voted “yes”; 18 voted “no”; and 18 selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 83.78% voted to approve the Charter (93/111), while 16.22% voted to reject the Charter (18/111).
Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation:
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees voted not to ratify the proposed Charter during their special Board meeting on July 8, 2024. The Chair of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, Nataliia Tymkiv, shared the result of the vote, the resolution, meeting minutes and proposed next steps.
With this, the Wikimedia Movement Charter in its current revision is not ratified.

Coming soon: A new sub-referencing feature – try it!
[editovat]Hello. For many years, community members have requested an easy way to re-use references with different details. Now, a MediaWiki solution is coming: The new sub-referencing feature will work for wikitext and Visual Editor and will enhance the existing reference system. You can continue to use different ways of referencing, but you will probably encounter sub-references in articles written by other users. More information on the project page.
We want your feedback to make sure this feature works well for you:
- Please try the current state of development on beta wiki and let us know what you think.
- Sign up here to get updates and/or invites to participate in user research activities.
Wikimedia Deutschland’s Technical Wishes team is planning to bring this feature to Wikimedia wikis later this year. We will reach out to creators/maintainers of tools and templates related to references beforehand.

Vaše wiki bude brzy pouze pro čtení
[editovat]Přečíst si tuto zprávu v jiném jazyce • Prosíme, pomozte s překladem do svého jazyka
Nadace Wikimedia přepne provoz mezi svými datovými centry. Tím se ujistíme, že Wikipedie a další wiki projekty zůstanou online i v případě katastrofy.
Veškerý provoz bude přepnut 25. září. Test bude zahájen v 15:00 UTC.
Kvůli jistým omezením v MediaWiki se musí bohužel v průběhu přepínání pozastavit všechny editace. Omlouváme se za tuto nepříjemnost a pracujeme na tom, abychom ji v budoucnu minimalizovali.
Na všech wiki se bude 30 minut před zahájením této operace zobrazovat banner. Tento banner zůstane zobrazen až do konce této operace.
Po krátký čas budete moci všechny wiki číst, ale nikoli editovat.
- Editace budou vypnuté nejvýše hodinu dne 25. září 2024 (středa).
- Pokud se v této době pokusíte editovat nebo změny uložit, zobrazí se vám chybové hlášení. Doufáme, že se v tomto období žádné editace neztratí, ale nemůžeme to zaručit. Pokud uvidíte chybové hlášení, počkejte prosím, dokud se vše nevrátí do normálu. Poté byste měli být schopni svou editaci uložit. Doporučujeme však, abyste si nejprve udělali kopii svých změn, jen pro jistotu.
Další důsledky:
- Úlohy na pozadí budou pomalejší a některé se mohou ztratit. Červené odkazy se mohou aktualizovat pomaleji než obvykle. Pokud založíte článek, který je již odkazován odjinud, zůstane odkaz červený déle, než je obvyklé. Některé dlouho běžící skripty budou muset být zastaveny.
- Předpokládáme, že nasazování nového kódu bude probíhat jako v běžném týdnu. V jednotlivých případech však může dojít k zamrazení kódu, pokud je operace následně vyžaduje.
- GitLab bude asi 90 minut nedostupný.
V případě nutnosti může být tento projekt odložen. Můžete si přečíst rozvrh na wikitech.wikimedia.org. Jakékoli změny budou oznámeny v rozvrhu.
Šiřte prosím tyto informace ve své komunitě.Trizek_(WMF), 20. 9. 2024, 09:36 (UTC)
