Global bot policy proposal: invitation to a Meta discussion[עריכה]
שלום!
I apologize for sending a message in English. אנא סייעו בתרגום הדף. According to the list, your wiki project currently is opted in to the global bot policy. Under this policy, bots that fix double redirects or maintain interwiki links are allowed to operate under a global bot flag that is assigned directly by the stewards.
As the Wikimedia projects developed, the need for the current global bot policy decreased, and in the past years, no bots were appointed via that policy. That is mainly given Wikidata were estabilished in 2013, and it is no longer necessary to have dozens of bots that maintain interwiki links.
A proposal was made at Meta-Wiki, which proposes that the stewards will be authorized to determine whether an uncontroversial task may be assigned a global bot flag. The stewards already assign permissions that are more impactful on many wikis, namely, global sysops and global renamers, and I do not think that trust should be an issue. The stewards will assign the permission only to time-proven bots that are already approved at a number of projects, like ListeriaBot.
By this message, I would like to invite you to comment in the global RFC, to voice your opinion about this matter.
Thank you for your time.
Best regards,

Wikidata descriptions changes to be included more often in Recent Changes and Watchlist[עריכה]
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!

דיון על סגירת המיזם[עריכה]

Proposal: Set two-letter project shortcuts as alias to project namespace globally[עריכה]
אנא סייעו בתרגום הדף
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, ויקיחדשות 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,

Universal Code of Conduct – 2021 consultations[עריכה]
Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2[עריכה]
אנא סייעו בתרגום הדף
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[עריכה]
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[עריכה]
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.

Global bot policy changes[עריכה]
שלום!
I apologize for sending a message in English. אנא סייעו בתרגום הדף. According to the list, your wiki project is currently opted in to the global bot policy. As such, I want to let you know about some changes that were made after the global RfC was closed.
- Global bots are now subject to a 2 week discussion, and it'll be publicized via a MassMessage list, available at Bot policy/New global bot discussion on Meta. Please subscribe yourself or your wiki if you are interested in new global bots proposals.
- For a bot to be considered for approval, it must demonstrate it is welcomed in multiple projects, and a good way to do that is to have the bot flag on at least 5 wikis for a single task.
- The bot operator should make sure to adhere to the wiki's preference as related to the use of the bot flag (i.e., if a wiki doesn't want a bot to use the flag as it edits, that should be followed).
Thank you for your time.
Best regards,

Editing news 2021 #2[עריכה]
לקרוא בשפה אחרת • הרשמה לרשימת התפוצה של הידיעון
מוקדם יותר השנה, צוות העריכה (Editing) ערך מחקר גדול על כלי התגובה. המטרה העיקרית הייתה למצוא אם כלי התגובה עוזר לעורכים חדשים לתקשר בוויקי. המטרה השנייה הייתה לראות אם היה צריך לשחזר תגובות שעורכים חדשים עשו באמצעות הכלי הזה לעיתים קרובות יותר מתגובות שנעשו באמצעות עורך דפי קוד הוויקי הקיים.
התוצאות העיקריות היו:
- אצל עורכים חדשים שהייתה להם גישה אוטומטית ("מופעלת בברירת מחדל") לכלי התגובה הייתה הסתברות גבוהה יותר לשלוח תגובה בדף שיחה.
- היה גם פחות סביר שתגובות שעורכים חדשים שלחו באמצעות כלי התגובה תשוחזרנה, בהשוואה לתגובות שעורכים חדשים עשו באמצעות עריכת דף רגילה.
התוצאות האלו נותנות לצוות העריכה תחושת ביטחון בכך שהכלי עוזר למשתמשים.
תוכניות לעתיד
הצוות מתכנן לעשות את כלי התגובה זמין לכולם בתור אפשרות שניתן לכבות בחודשים הקרובים. זה כבר קרה בוויקיפדיות בערבית, בצ'כית, ובהונגרית.
הצעד הבא הוא לפתור אתגר טכני אחד. בשלב הזה הם יתקינו את הכלי תחילה בוויקיפדיות שהשתתפו במחקר. לאחר מכן הם יתקינו אותו בהדרגה לוויקיפדיות אחרות ולכל אתרי הוויקי שקרן ויקימדיה מארחת.
באפשרותך להפעיל את "כלי שיחה" עכשיו באפשרויות בטא. אחרי שכלי התגובה יתחיל לעבוד אצלך, באפשרותך לשנות את ההעדפות שלך בכל זמן בלשונית העריכה בהעדפות.

קרן ויקימדיה בודקת את המעבר בין מרכזי הנתונים הראשי והמשני שלה. כך ניתן יהיה לוודא שוויקיפדיה ואתרי הוויקי הנוספים של ויקימדיה יוכלו להישאר מקוונים גם לאחר אסון. כדי לוודא שהכול עובד כשורה, מחלקת הטכנולוגיה של ויקימדיה צריכה לקיים בדיקה מתוכננת. הבדיקה תַראה האם ניתן לעבור ממרכז נתונים אחד למרכז נתונים אחר בצורה אמינה. זה דורש מצוותים רבים להתכונן לקראת הבדיקה ולהיות זמינים לתיקון בעיות בלתי צפויות.
לרוע המזל, עקב מגבלות מסוימות במדיה־ויקי, כל העריכות חייבות להיפסק במהלך המעבר. אנו מצטערים על ההפרעה, ופועלים לצמצמם אותה בעתיד.
יהיה ניתן לקרוא, אך לא לערוך, את כל אתרי הוויקי למשך זמן קצר.
- לא ניתן יהיה לערוך למשך שעה לכל היותר ביום שלישי, 29 ביוני 2021. הבדיקה תתחיל ב־14:00 לפי UTC (17:00 שעון ישראל).
- במקרה של ניסיון לערוך או לשמור במהלך זמן זה, תראו הודעת שגיאה. אנו מקווים שלא יאבדו עריכות במהלך דקות אלו, אך אנו לא יכולים להבטיח זאת. אם אתם רואים את הודעת השגיאה, יש להמתין עד שהכול חוזר לשגרה. אז ניתן יהיה לשמור את העריכה שלך. אבל אנו ממליצים להכין העתק של השינויים שלך לפני כן, ליתר ביטחון.
השפעות אחרות:
- עבודות רקע יואטו וחלקן עלולות להיפסק. קישורים אדומים עשויים להתעדכן לאט מהרגיל. במקרה של יצירת ערך שכבר מקושר במקום אחר, הקישור יישאר אדום לזמן ארוך מהרגיל. כמה סקריפטים בעלי זמן־ריצה ארוך ייאלצו להיפסק.
- יהיו הקפאות קוד בשבוע של 28 ביוני. פריסות קוד לא חיוניות לא יתרחשו.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election has come to an end[עריכה]
Thank you for participating in the 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election! Voting closed August 31 at 23:59. The official data, including the four most voted candidates, will be announced as soon as the Elections Committee completes their review of the ballots. The official announcement of the new trustees appointed will happen later, once the selected candidates have been confirmed by the Board.
6,946 community members from 216 wiki projects have voted. This makes 10.2% global participation, 1.1% higher than in the last Board elections. In 2017, 5167 people from 202 wiki projects cast their vote. A full analysis is planned to be published in a few days when the confirmed results are announced. In the meantime, you can check the data produced during the election.
Diversity was an important goal with these elections. Messages about the Board election were translated into 61 languages. This outreach worked well. There were 70 communities with eligible voters voting in this election for the first time. With your help, next year’s Board of Trustees election will be even better.

The 2022 Community Wishlist Survey will happen in January[עריכה]
Hello everyone,
We hope all of you are as well and safe as possible during these trying times! We wanted to share some news about a change to the Community Wishlist Survey 2022. We would like to hear your opinions as well.
Summary:
We will be running the Community Wishlist Survey 2022 in January 2022. We need more time to work on the 2021 wishes. We also need time to prepare some changes to the Wishlist 2022. In the meantime, you can use a dedicated sandbox to leave early ideas for the 2022 wishes.
Proposing and wish-fulfillment will happen during the same year[עריכה]
In the past, the Community Tech team has run the Community Wishlist Survey for the following year in November of the prior year. For example, we ran the Wishlist for 2021 in November 2020. That worked well a few years ago. At that time, we used to start working on the Wishlist soon after the results of the voting were published.
However, in 2021, there was a delay between the voting and the time when we could start working on the new wishes. Until July 2021, we were working on wishes from the Wishlist for 2020.
We hope having the Wishlist 2022 in January 2022 will be more intuitive. This will also give us time to fulfill more wishes from the 2021 Wishlist.
Encouraging wider participation from historically excluded communities[עריכה]
We are thinking how to make the Wishlist easier to participate in. We want to support more translations, and encourage under-resourced communities to be more active. We would like to have some time to make these changes.
A new space to talk to us about priorities and wishes not granted yet[עריכה]
We will have gone 365 days without a Wishlist. We encourage you to approach us. We hope to hear from you in the talk page, but we also hope to see you at our bi-monthly Talk to Us meetings! These will be hosted at two different times friendly to time zones around the globe.
We will begin our first meeting September 15th at 23:00 UTC. More details about the agenda and format coming soon!
Brainstorm and draft proposals before the proposal phase[עריכה]
If you have early ideas for wishes, you can use the new Community Wishlist Survey sandbox. This way, you will not forget about these before January 2022. You will be able to come back and refine your ideas. Remember, edits in the sandbox don't count as wishes!
Feedback[עריכה]
- What should we do to improve the Wishlist pages?
- How would you like to use our new sandbox?
- What, if any, risks do you foresee in our decision to change the date of the Wishlist 2022?
- What will help more people participate in the Wishlist 2022?
Answer on the talk page (in any language you prefer) or at our Talk to Us meetings.

The Wikimedia Foundation tests the switch between its first and secondary data centers. 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 back to the primary data center on Tuesday, 14 September 2021.
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, 14 September 2021. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (07:00 PDT, 10:00 EDT, 15:00 WEST/BST, 16:00 CEST, 19:30 IST, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday, 15 September).
- 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.
- We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.
