Maayong pag-abot sa atong
tubaan
! Kining maong panid gitagana alang sa komunikasyon sa mga miyembro ning atong katilingban sa Wikipedyang Sinugboanon.
Mahimo kang motabang sa paghimo sa
Wikipedya
ngadto sa usa ka ikapadayeg nga
ensiklopedya
pinaagi sa
pag-usab
sa mga nasulat na nga mga artikulo ug
pagsulat
og mga bag-ong artikulo. Kon
maghimo ka og akawnt
mangalan kanimo ang imong mga sinulat.
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?

- 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...

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?

Mensahe gikan sa tigdumala
Nh? Gay Me
Pinakabag-o nga
tech nga balita
gikan sa Wikimedia technical community. Palihug sultihi ang ubang mga tiggamit bahin niini nga mga pagbag-o. Dili tanang kausaban makaapekto nimo.
Mga Paghubad
anaa.
Bag-ong mga kausaban
- Ang mga panid sa kasaysayan sa mobile site karon naggamit sa parehas nga HTML sa mga panid sa kasaysayan sa desktop. Kung makadungog ka ug bisan unsang mga problema nga may kalabotan sa paggamit sa kasaysayan sa mobile palihog itudlo sila sa
ang buluhaton sa phabricator
.
- Sa kadaghanan sa mga wiki, ang mga admin mahimo nang babagan ang mga tiggamit sa paghimo og piho nga mga aksyon. Kini nga mga aksyon mao ang: pag-upload sa mga file, paghimo og bag-ong mga panid, pagbalhin (pag-usab sa ngalan) nga mga panid, ug pagpadala sa mga pasalamat. Ang tumong niini nga bahin mao ang pagtugot sa mga admin sa paggamit sa mga bloke nga igo sa gibabagan nga kalihokan sa mga tiggamit.
Pagkat-on ug dugang bahin sa "mga bloke sa aksyon"
.
[1]
[2]
Ang mga kausaban sa ulahi niining semanaha
- Ang
bag-ong bersyon
sa MediaWiki maanaa sa test wikis ug MediaWiki.org gikan sa 6 Pebrero. Anaa kini sa mga wiki nga dili Wikipedia ug pipila ka mga Wikipedia gikan sa 7 Pebrero. Anaa kini sa tanang wiki gikan sa 8 Pebrero (
calendar
).
[3]
[4]
- Ang mga permalink sa mga panid sa paghisgot nga naglakip sa mga diakritiko ug dili-Latin-script nag-defunction. Kini nga isyu naugmad.
[5]
Ang umaabot nga mga kausaban
- 24 Wikipedias
nga adunay
Reference Tooltips
isip default gadget giawhag nga tangtangon kanang default flag. Kini maghimo sa
Reference Previews
nga bag-ong default para sa reference popups, nga motultol ngadto sa mas makanunayon nga kasinatian sa tibuok wiki. Para sa
46 ka Wikipedia
nga wala pay 4 ka interface admin, ang pagbag-o naka-iskedyul na sa tunga-tunga sa Pebrero,
gawas kon adunay mga kabalaka
. Ang mas karaan nga Reference Tooltips gadget magpabilin gihapon nga magamit ug i-override kini nga feature, kung kini anaa sa imong wiki ug imo kining gipagana sa imong mga setting.

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):
- Bentong Isles
(bureaucrat, administrator)
- 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,

- 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).

Mga Problema
- Adunay usa ka bug nga nakaapekto sa hitsura sa gibisita nga mga link kung gigamit ang mobile device aron ma-access ang mga site sa wiki. Gihimo niini nga itom ang mga sumpay;
kini nga isyu
naayo na.
Ang mga kausaban sa ulahi niining semanaha

- Samtang nagpadayon ang trabaho sa depretasyon sa grid engine, ang
[15]
nga mga himan sa grid engine ihunong sugod sa ika-14 sa Pebrero, 2024. Kung ikaw adunay mga himan nga aktibo nga migrate mahimo kang mangayo og extension aron kini dili mahunong.

this ticket
. Please coordinate and take action proactively.
- Newly auto-created accounts (the accounts you get when you visit a new wiki) now have the same local notification preferences as users who freshly register on that wiki. It is effected in four notification types listed in the
task's description
.
- The maximum file size when using
Upload Wizard
is now 5 GiB.
[18]
Changes later this week

Recent changes
- The
mobile visual editor
is now the default editor for users who never edited before, at a small group of wikis.
Research
shows that users using this editor are slightly more successful publishing the edits they started, and slightly less successful publishing non-reverted edits. Users who defined the wikitext editor as their default on desktop will get the wikitext editor on mobile for their first edit on mobile as well.
[22]
- The
mw.config
value
wgGlobalGroups
now only contains groups that are active in the wiki. Scripts no longer have to check whether the group is active on the wiki via an API request. A code example of the above is:
if (/globalgroupname/.test(mw.config.get("wgGlobalGroups")))
.
[23]
Changes later this week
- The
new version
of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 27 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 28 February. It will be on all wikis from 29 February (
calendar
).
[24]
[25]
Future changes
- The right to change
edit tags
(
changetags
) will be removed from users in Wikimedia sites, keeping it by default for admins and bots only. Your community can ask to retain the old configuration on your wiki before this change happens. Please indicate in
this ticket
to keep it for your community before the end of March 2024.

Hello all,
I am writing to you today with two important pieces of information. First, the
report of the comments from the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) Charter ratification
is now available. Secondly, the call for candidates for the U4C is open now through April 1, 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 for the U4C. For more information and the responsibilities of the U4C, please
review the U4C Charter
.
Per the charter, there are 16 seats on the U4C: eight community-at-large seats and eight regional seats to ensure the U4C represents the diversity of the movement.
Read more and submit your application on
Meta-wiki

[35]
- Structured data on Commons
will no longer ask whether you want to leave the page without saving. This will prevent the “information you’ve entered may not be saved” popups from appearing when no information have been entered. It will also make file pages on Commons load faster in certain cases. However, the popups will be hidden even if information has indeed been entered. If you accidentally close the page before saving the structured data you entered, that data will be lost.

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)

[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.

will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on
20 March
. The test will start at
14:00 UTC
.
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 Wednesday 20 March 2024.
- 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.
- GitLab
will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can
read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org
. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens.
Please share this information with your community.

Recent changes
- Web browsers can use tools called
extensions
. There is now a Chrome extension called
Citation Needed
which you can use to see if an online statement is supported by a Wikipedia article. This is a small experiment to see if Wikipedia can be used this way. Because it is a small experiment, it can only be used in Chrome in English.
- A new
Edit Recovery
feature has been added to all wikis, available as a
user preference
. Once you enable it, your in-progress edits will be stored in your web browser, and if you accidentally close an editing window or your browser or computer crashes, you will be prompted to recover the unpublished text. Please leave any feedback on the
project talk page
. This was the #8 wish in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey.
- Initial results of
Edit check
experiments
have been published
. Edit Check is now deployed as a default feature at
the wikis that tested it
.
Let us know
if you want your wiki to be part of the next deployment of Edit check.
[55]
[56]
- Readers using the
Minerva skin
on mobile will notice there has been an improvement in the line height across all typography settings.
[57]
Changes later this week

new version
of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 April. It will be on all wikis from 11 April (

will be added to
abuse filters
. It tells how many seconds ago the last edit to a page was made.

tables. Some queries might need to be updated.

I was given the admin tools in February for 3 months with the comment to start another discussion before the 3 months end. I have been cleaning up after duplicates and deleting spam and errors. Does the community wish for me to stay an admin?
