Idea: I just had an idea about adding the member permissions including: "patroller", "autopatroller" and "rollbacker". Because human resources at cebwiki are currently seriously lacking.

Reason: increase the number of high-quality articles, minimize vandalism (although it is a small wiki, vandalism is still inevitable). What do you think? Halley luv Filipino ❤ 05:21, 12 Enero 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this...Like my point was, if whats in English Wikipedia must apply in here and just translate all the things in English to Cebuano/Bisaya/Sinugboanon Wikipedia I'm here a few months because I was translating about my newly created article in English and now I had 3 in just span of days I figured it out that here was very lack of everything like some of the coding doesn't work because of some reason we're lacking of officer, administrator, etc., And I know the reason why in our official language Filipino main Tagalog the Wikipedia has covered a lot because of interest and people thre are actively engaged and I knw here why it lacks of people from us because just minority who have interest and if they enter in Wikipedia community they only focused on English and Tagalog they cant even also focus or don't have time in Cebuano Wikipedia. So If Whats in English Wikipedia I suggested that it must apply here also with the help of you (admins) And I knw you are programming so its easier for you to do this btw thanks for being here...Rc ramz (talk) 14:15, 28 Enero 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Idea:
English: Hi everyone, I want to announce something. I'm about to add the "extendedconfirmed" permission to our wiki. I'm planning to add an option 30/500 revision lock (to tighten up vandalism if necessary). Accordingly, the "extendedconfirmed" right will be automatically assigned to members who have created an account for 30 days and have 500 edits here. What do you think?

Cebuano: Kumusta sa tanan, gusto ko nga ipahibalo ang usa ka butang. Idugang nako ang "extendedconfirmed" nga pagtugot sa among wiki. Nagplano ko nga magdugang ug opsyon nga 30/500 revision lock (aron hugtan ang bandalismo kung gikinahanglan). Tungod niini, ang "extendedconfirmed" nga katungod awtomatiko nga ma-assign sa mga miyembro nga nakamugna og account sulod sa 30 ka adlaw ug adunay 500 ka mga pag-edit dinhi. Unsa sa imong hunahuna? Halley luv Filipino ❤ 11:53, 28 Enero 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IMPORTANT: Admin activity review

[usba ang wikitext]

Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted by global community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing administrators' activity on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis with no inactivity policy. To the best of our knowledge, your wiki does not have a formal process for removing "advanced rights" from inactive accounts. This means that the stewards will take care of this according to the admin activity review.

We have determined that the following users meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no logged actions for more than 2 years):

  1. Bentong Isles (bureaucrat, administrator)
  2. Harvzs (administrator)

These users will receive a notification soon, asking them to start a community discussion if they want to retain some or all of their rights. If the users do not respond, then their advanced rights will be removed by the stewards.

However, if you as a community would like to create your own activity review process superseding the global one, want to make another decision about these inactive rights holders, or already have a policy that we missed, then please notify the stewards on Meta-Wiki so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki.

Thanks, Superpes15 (talk) 15:09, 7 Pebrero 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment:
  • About the bureaucrat Bentong Isles, I have no opinion on this user (because this user said he left Wikipedia a long time ago as you know before).
  • About admin Harvzs, this user is still active and currently working as a sysop at warwiki, but he seems to be inactive here. I also want to hear this user's opinion on whether he wants to retain his rights here or not (Of course if he doesn't respond after one month, steward can decision to remove admin right of him).
Halley luv Filipino ❤ 02:36, 8 Pebrero 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • We unfortunately don't have many active admins here, only Như Gây Mê who started a few weeks ago who has temporary admin tools but could be given them permanently. I check the recent changes every day or so and if I became an admin I would help with cleaning up the duplicates etc. Qu0404 (talk) 09:19, 8 Pebrero 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mosugod ko og hisgutanan susama sa gihangyo. Dili ko mobiya nga sysop. Ako usab tagaan og pahayag kay User:Bentong_Isles ug ang ubang mga sysops sa bag-ong polisiya
I will open up the community discussion as requested shortly. I am not resigning as a sysop. I will also inform User:Bentong_Isles and any other sysops of the new policy. --~~ Harvzs (talk) 08:11, 9 Pebrero 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection

[usba ang wikitext]
You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

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)

[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.

Invitation to participate in the #WPWPCampaign 2024

[usba ang wikitext]

Dear community members,

We are inviting you to participate in the Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos 2024 campaign, a global contest scheduled to run from July through August 2024:

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.

In its first year (2020), 36 Wikimedia communities in 27 countries joined the campaign. Events relating to the campaign included training organized by at least 18 Wikimedia communities in 14 countries.

The campaign resulted in the addition of media files (photos, audios and videos) to more than 90,000 Wikipedia articles in 272 languages.

Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) offers an ideal task for recruiting and guiding new editors through the steps of adding content to existing pages. Besides individual participation, the WPWP campaign can be used by user groups and chapters to organize editing workshops and edit-a-thons.

The organizing team is looking for a contact person to coordinate WPWP participation your language Wikipedia. We’d be glad for you to sign up directly at WPWP Participating Communities page on Meta-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).

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.

We thank you for your participation in this important moment in our movement’s governance.

Coming soon: A new sub-referencing feature – try it!

[usba ang wikitext]

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:

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.

Please help us spread the message. --Johannes Richter (WMDE) (talk) 10:36, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the Wikidata item sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the General section into the In Other Projects section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. Please let us know if you notice any problems or bugs after this change. There should be no need for null-edits or purging cache for the changes to occur. Kind regards, -Danny Benjafield (WMDE) 11:29, 22 Oktubre 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to enable the "Contribute" entry point in Cebuano Wikipedia

[usba ang wikitext]

Hello Cebuano Wikipedians,

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

The WMF Language and Product Localization team proposes enabling an entry point called "Contribute" to your Wikipedia.

The Contribute entry point is based on collaborative work with other product teams in the Wikimedia Foundation on Edit discovery, which validated the entry point as a persistent and constant path that contributors took to discover ways to contribute content in Wikipedia.

Therefore, enabling this entry point in your Wikipedia will help contributors quickly discover available tools and immediately click to start using them. This entry point is designed to be a central point for discovering contribution tools in Cebuano Wikipedia.

Who can access it

Once it is enabled in your Wikipedia, newcomers can access the entry point automatically by just logging into their account, click on the User drop-down menu and choose the "Contribute" icon, which takes you to another menu where you will find a self-guided description of what you can do to contribute content, as shown in the image below. An option to "view contributions" is also available to access the list of your contributions.

Mobile Contribute Page Mobile contribute menu (detailed)

For experienced contributors, the Contribute icon is not automatically shown in their User drop-down menu. They will still see the "Contributions" option unless they change it to the "Contribute" manually.

This feature is available in four Wikipedia (Albanian, Malayalam, Mongolian, and Tagalog). We have gotten valuable feedback that helped us improve its discoverability. Now, it is ready to be enabled in other Wikis. One major improvement was to make the entry point optional for experienced contributors who still want to have the "Contributions" entry point as default.          

We plan to enable it on mobile for Wikis, where the Section translation tool is enabled. In this way, we will provide a main entry point to the mobile translation dashboard, and the exposure can still be limited by targeting only the mobile platform for now. If there are no objections to having the entry point for mobile users from your community, we will enable it by 10th December 2024.

We welcome your feedback and questions in this thread on our proposal to enable it here. Suppose there are no objections, we will deploy the "Contribute" entry point in your Wikipedia.

We look forward to your response soon.

Thank you!
