Request for Adminship[baguhon]

I work on Bikol orthography and published an orthography guide book Antabay sa Ortograpiya nin Bikol Sentral in 2012. With Master's degree in Filipino and a member of Parasurat Bikolnon writers organization, I have become a Wiktionarian and am in fact the original proponent of Bikol Wiktionary, Bikol Wikipedia and Rinconada Bikol Wikipedia many years ago, I have a clear understanding of what a Wiktionary should be like. For example, meanings should have references and entries need to be in simple form as in no affixes specially in verbs. I would like to focus on these areas. Most importantly, I wish to give a sense of balance in the community of a project which should be open to ideas and to new editors from different backgrounds. Being a Wikimedian, I believe in collaboration rather than competition. --Filipinayzd (olay) 01:31, 13 Enero 2021 (PST)[magsimbag]

Strong Support --ShiminUfesoj (olay) 17:49, 13 Enero 2021 (PST)[magsimbag]

Strong Support -- (1) Impressive credentials and expertise as a Bikolano writer (2) The original proponent of the Wikimedia projects in the Bicol Region, Philippines which includes the Bikol Wiktionary, Bikol Wikipedia, and Rinconada Bikol Wikipedia (3) Passionate in uplifting the Bikolano language and other Philippine-based languages through the projects of the PhilWiki Community (PH-WC) in which he is the current President/Chairman. Personally, for someone who just joined the Bikol Community of the Wikimedia movement last year (2020), I became an active editor in the Bikol Wikipedia and Bikol Wiktionary through the PH-WC User Group's initiative. Finally, I believe that those three (3) qualifications I stated above are enough for him to be considered as an administrator of the Bikol Wiktionary. -- Ralffralff (olay) 22:25, 13 Enero 2021 (PST)[magsimbag]

Request for Adminship[baguhon]

Hello, I recently received a grant funding from the WMF to head a campaign (Dec 2021-July 2022) for the Bikol Wiktionary. In this regard I would like to request administrator and interface administrator access to apply necessary changes and updates in the said platform especially in the language codes, spelling guide, diacritics, introductory grammar, entry organization, categories, and audio. These were based on your suggestions and feedback (see above). My goal is to make the platform more systematic, accessible, economical, and collaborative. This will also ensure a smoother and a more active participation from editors (both old and new) and readers which I have invited to participate in the 6-month campaign to revitalize Bikol Wiktionary. Cheers and padagos lang! Daramlagon (olay) 23:47, 3 Enero 2021 (PST)[magsimbag]

  • Strong Support. I have been working closely with Daramlagon and I can attest to his dedication for preserving our local language and making it accessible to everyone. I hope his request be granted. Kunokuno (olay) 00:26, 4 Enero 2022 (PST)[magsimbag]

Renewal of Adminship[baguhon]

Hello! I would like to inform the community that I will be applying for an extension on my role as an administrator in this project and possibly with an interface administrator rights as well.

Thank you in advance for your support. Imelda (olay) 13:59, 26 Enero 2022 (PST)[magsimbag]

Strong support. The project needs another support aside from the campaign organizer of the Language Preservation edit-a-thon Daramlagon, especially since it intends to reach the 5,000th entry by the first half of 2022. More thorough clean-ups and uniformity should be achieved and given the long experience of Brazal.dang in handling developing projects, she is most qualified for renewal of adminship.

Bot policy[baguhon]

Hello. To facilitate steward granting of bot access, I suggest implementing the standard bot policy on this wiki. In particular, this policy allows stewards to automatically flag known interlanguage linking bots (if this page says that is acceptable) or bots that fix double redirects. The policy also enables global bots on this wiki (if this page says that is acceptable), which are trusted bots that will be given bot access on every wiki that allows global bots.

This policy makes bot access requesting much easier for local users, operators, and stewards. To implement it we only need to create a redirect to this page from Project:Bot policy, and add a line at the top noting that it is used here. If you use or prefer to use a dedicated project page for handling bot flag requests, that is also acceptable. Please read the text at Meta-Wiki before commenting. If you object, please say so; I hope to implement in two weeks if there is no objection, since it is particularly written to streamline bot requests on wikis with little or no community interested in bot access requests. Thank you for your consideration. --Rschen7754 12:23, 9 Agosto 2022 (PST)[magsimbag]

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in two weeks?[baguhon]

The slides for our presentation at Wikimania 2022

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.

About the skin[baguhon]

[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?[baguhon]

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[baguhon]

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) 12:15, 22 Setyembre 2022 (PST)[magsimbag]

Wikimedia Youth Commemorates the International Youth Day 2022 in an exciting way in the Philippines[baguhon]

The Wiki Advocates Philippines joined young people from around the world in a series of thrilling activities to commemorate the International Youth Day (IYD) 2022 in the Wikimedia movement. The International Youth Day 2022 was organized globally by the WikiVibrance Project, a youth-focused initiative, to celebrate young people's voices, actions, and initiatives as well as their meaningful engagement in the Wikimedia movement. The WikiVibrance Project recognizes that young Wikimedians are part of the about 1.8 billion young people taking action to solve pressing issues in different corners of the world today and as such should celebrate their presence and contributions in building free knowledge on Wikimedia projects.

Wiki Vibrance Logo

As part of the exciting activities to mark the commemoration, we spotlighted Sheryl Jean B. Bengua and Daphne "Daph" Boncodin from the Philippines community alongside other young wikimedians from Rwanda, Nigeria, Ghana, and South Sudan for their commitment in advancing open knowledge. The IYD 2022 coordinator in Philippines, Anthony Diaz shared inspiring stories of the work of Filipino young people with featured young wikimedians from South Sudan, Bangladesh, Rwanda, Ukraine, Kenya, Palestine, Spain, Nigeria, Philippines, and Uganda during a session on 13th August at the 2022 Wikimania conference.

In September 2022, young wikimedians from Tanzania, Rwanda, Ghana, Philippines, Nigeria Benin, and South Sudan kickstarted a month-long campaign to improve content related to this year's IYD theme "Intergenerational Solidarity: Creating a World for All Ages on wikimedia projects. They focused on improving content on age-related diseases (eg diabetes, stroke, depression among others); youth and adult movements related to human rights; policies/laws/acts related to age discrimination in employment, healthcare; legal working & retirement age; youth exclusion; child labour; youth development; ageism as a whole; women and senior citizens in politics, health, employment sector; health risks posed by occupations taken by youths and senior citizens; child labor and rights; obstacles to employment or human right issues associated with Ageism among others.

Still in the spirit of the celebration, the spotlighted youth and lead organizer of IYD 2022 (Sheryl Jean B. Bengua, Daphne "Daph" Boncodin and Anthony Diaz) in Philippines will be joining a Winners Call (a social space call) on 30th September, 2022 to network with other recognized young people from the participating countries.

Through the International Youth Day 2022 activities, we hope to draw attention to the work of young wikimedians in the Philippines in growing knowledge on Wikimedia projects as well as their capacity on growing knowledge in the digital space. Recognizing the importance of this, we invite Filipino youth to join us on the WikiVibrance Project. You can follow the official social media handles @WikiVibrance on twitter, Instagram and Facebook to stay updated.


About WikiVibrance Project

The WikiVibrance Project aims at acknowledging and celebrating young Wikimedians advancing open knowledge through community engagement during international, regional and national youth days in order to create synergies, share knowledge and build capacities to contribute content of selected thematic areas across Wikimedia projects.

The core team members are: Euphemia Uwandu, Francesc Fort, Douglas Ssebaggala, Eben Mlay, and James Popoola.

Seeking volunteers for the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct process[baguhon]

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 ucocproject(_AT_)wikimedia.org by May 12, 2023. Read more on Meta-Wiki.

Best regards,

Review the Charter for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee[baguhon]

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,

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in three weeks?[baguhon]

Read this in your languagePlease help translate to your language • Please tell other users about these changes

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.

Global preferences

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.

Since I last came to you with this question, many things have changed. The skin is now the default on most Wikipedias, and all logos are done! We have also made some tweaks in the skin itself. Below is the text I've sent to you once, but I'm sending it again, just slightly edited, for those who haven't seen it.

If you know what this is about, jump straight to the section "Our plan":

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[baguhon]

Slides to our Wikimania 2022 presentation. You may also listen to the recording on YouTube (in English).

[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[baguhon]

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) (urulay) 09:09, 26 Oktubre 2023 (PST)[magsimbag]

Hello, the change will be done later today. Please ping me or write on my talk page if you have any comments! Mabalos! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (kaulayon) 01:01, 30 Nobyembre 2023 (PST)[magsimbag]

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection[baguhon]

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.
