Paġna Prinċipali

Fuq il-paġna prinċipali hemm item: Kommemorazzjonijiet...

Dan konna ħadnieh mit-Taljan:Oggi ricorre.... Ħlief għal xi ftit ġranet tas-sena dan ikun fih biss il-qaddisin ikkommemorati mill-Knisja Kattolika. Ta' min iżommu dan l-item?

Hemm ukoll Vetrina li rari jkun hemm xi ħaġa fiha. Nistgħu nuruha biss meta jkollna xi ħaġa x'nuru?

Leli Forte (d) 19:43, 16 Mej 2020 (UTC)

Rigward il-Vetrina naħseb li tkun idea tajba li nippruvaw nerġgħu nqajjmuha. Fid-disinn il-ġdid li pproponejt hemma l-kaxxa tal-Vetrina però li nistgħu nagħmlu hu li kif qed tgħid int tinħeba meta ma jkunx hemm. —Chrisportelli (d) 06:07, 17 Mej 2020 (UTC)

L-aktar milli nikkunsidraw inżommux dan l-item naħseb li tajjeb naraw hemmx lok li jsiru waħda minn żewġ affarijiet, jekk mhux it-tnejn: jew (a) naraw jistgħu jinħolqu paġni dwar dan il-qaddisin anke biex ma jkollnix daqs tant ħoloq ħomor fuq il-paġna prinċiali, u/jew (b) insibu mezz biex inżidu aktar magħhom flok qaddisin biss, jew kważi. Meta kont naħdem ma'/fuq aboutmalta.com kellna servizz ta' On This Day in Maltese History din kienet waħda mill-aktar paġni li kienet tiġbed nies lejha.

Dwar il-veterina naqbel kompletament ma' li qed tgħidu. @Nevborg: Kif għaddi r-Rebbiegħa CEE 2020 nistgħu naraw ma' WCM forsi nistgħu naraw noħolqux edit-a-tona fuq hekk, anke possibilment b'rabta ma' dan li jidher hawn rigward paġni vitali għal mt.wikipedia. --ToniSant (d) 16:12, 19 Mej 2020 (UTC)

@Chrisportelli: Is-sena t-tajba! Bl-għajnuna ta' Utent:Dans ħdimna naqra fuq verżjoni tikka differenti minn dik li pproponejt int u jekk m'hemmx oġġezzjoni mingħandek jew xi ħadd ieħor (b'mod partikolari Leli Forte (naqbel miegħek dwar il-Vetrina) u Nevborg (naqbel miegħek dwar il-mod kif ninvolvu lill-kommunità) li kienu parti mid-diskussjoni s'issa, allura għada filgħaxija noħorġuha għall-pubbliku bħala parti mill-ħidma li għaddejja bħalissa mill-kommunità b'rabta ma' Wikipedija:Wikipedia 20. Il-verżjoni li qed nipproponu tinstab hawn. Grazzi dejjem! --ToniSant (d) 18:19, 18 Jannar 2021 (UTC)

Forsi nista' nerġa' nqajjem id-diskussjoni dwar "Kommemorazzjonijiet". Araw ir-rimarka fil-bidu ta' din it-taqsima. —Leli Forte (d) 12:06, 19 Jannar 2021 (UTC)

@Leli Forte: iva, grazzi. Punt tajjeb ħafna dan! Dwaru kien hemm żewġ kummenti fid-diskussjonijiet tal-kommunità illejla stess. L-ewwel huwa li hemm lok noħolqu attivitajiet biex intejbuh. Hemm il-mudell ta' 'On this day' mill-Ingliż li jidher ferm aħjar minn tat-Taljan għax rari jinkludi qaddisin. It-tieni ħaġa hija li jekk inneħħuh ħabta u sabta il-Paġna Prinċipali taf tinħass naqra vojta. Allura, dan li qed tgħid int huwa mhux biss punt tajjeb imma wieħed validissimu u li WCM qed tħares biex tużah fit-tfassil tal-attivitajiet tagħha. Aktarx induru għal dan mill-ewwel wara li tgħaddi l-kampanja biex inżidu artikli dwar suġġetti essenzjali fil-Wikipedija bħala parti minn Wikipedia 20. --ToniSant (d) 17:16, 19 Jannar 2021 (UTC)

@Leli Forte:@ToniSant: Naqbel li s-sezzjoni dwar "Kommemorazzjonijiet" tista titneħħa. Sa fejn naf jien din hija serje ta' files individwali li jridu jitneħħew individwalment. Jien naħseb li l-mudell Ingliż joffri iżjed varjazzjoni fit-tip ta' avvenimenti u nies li jiġu mfakkra. Naħseb ukoll li fiha ftit xogħol u ħsieb biex norganizzaw l-affarijiet sew - forsi nistgħu niddedikaw ftit ħin biex nippjanaw għalija waqt l-avvenimenti ta' Wikipedia 20 fil-ġimgħat li ġejjin? --Nevborg (d) 17:52, 19 Jannar 2021 (UTC)

Abbozz

Nixtieq nerġa niftaħ id-diskussjoni fuq it-terminu "abbozz".

Dan konna iddusketejnieh hawn:

https://mt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedija:Pjazza/Arkivju_2008#Stub_jew_Abbozz?

Xi artikli qsar ħafna ma jixirqilhom li jissejħu "abbozz" pereżemju https://mt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papa .

Jien kont għedt: "Togħġobni l-idea tal-Olandiż: "Begintje" jew "bidu żgħir". Forsi jmissna nivvintaw kliem ġdid fejn ma nsibux kelma adekwata bħal "bdejju" - bidu żgħir! "

Kont issuġġerejt ukoll "nibbieta".

Leli Forte (d) 15:59, 19 Mej 2020 (UTC)

@Leli Forte: Grazzi tassew ta' din. "Abbozz" huwa aktar "draft", skond jien. Fl-ispirtu ta' dan li qed tipproponi inti, flok "stub" jiena kieku nipproponi "loqma" - xi tgħid?

Apparti hekk dan l-aħħar konna qed nitkellmu ukoll dwar aktar parametri li nistgħu norbtu mal-mudell {{stub}}. @Scutajar: x'taħseb dwar din il-biċċa kollha? --ToniSant (d) 16:19, 19 Mej 2020 (UTC)

@ToniSant:Personalment "loqma" ma tantx togħġobni għax negattiva. Aquilina għal "loqma" jagħti piece of bread, morsel, a crust of bread. Kieku nippreferi xi ħaġa bħal "Bidu ċkejken" jew "Nibbieta" fis-sens li l-artiklu ħa jikber minnha.

Leli Forte (d) 16:39, 19 Mej 2020 (UTC)

@ToniSant: Milli rajt fuq il-Wikipedija bl-Ingliż, donnhom jintużaw mudelli differenti skont il-kategorija tal-artiklu, imma forsi kellek xi ideat oħra? Rigward l-isem, kemm "loqma" kif ukoll "nibbieta" jogħġbuni, imma minix l-ikbar espert fuq x'isem għandu jingħata. —Scutajar (d) 11:32, 20 Mej 2020 (UTC)

@Leli Forte u Scutajar:: Nasal naqbel magħkom faċilment. Loqma tassew li għandha konnotazzjonijiet negattivi, anke minħabba loqma ta' sigarett. Naħseb "nibbieta" ideali però mhux ċert għandiex tkun "nebbieta" minflok; araw hawn. --ToniSant (d) 18:44, 21 Mej 2020 (UTC)

@ToniSant:: Aquilina M-E jagħti t-tnejn (nibbieta/nebbieta). Jien kuntent bit-tnejn.

Kont issuġġerejt dan:

Leli Forte (d) 16:47, 22 Mej 2020 (UTC)

@Leli Forte: Din id-diskussjoni qamet ukoll waqt l-aħħar editathon tal-Wikipedija:Rebbiegħa CEE 2020 ma' ToniSant, Mewga, Angie Balzan, EnriqueTabone, u Scutajar. Il-kunsens ġenerali kien li nużaw "nebbieta" u l-plural kollettiv ta' "nebbitiet". Naħseb jekk ma hemm l-ebda oġġezzjoni nistgħu mmexxu b'dan il-mod. --Nevborg (d) 16:47, 29 Mej 2020 (UTC)

Araw diskussjoni oħra:

https://mt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedija:Pjazza/Arkivju_2009#Stub

Abbozzi oħra

Hemm ukoll:

u abbozzi bis-suġġett

Leli Forte (d) 16:56, 22 Mej 2020 (UTC)

@Leli Forte: Bħala azzjoni konkreta vis-a-vis dak li kiteb dwaru @Nevborg: hawn fuq, @Scutajar: u jien ħidmna biċċa sew illum biex nibdew naqilbu dawk li kienu abbozzi/stubs għal nebbieta, a bażi ta' dak li ddiskutejna fuq il-proposta tiegħek. Idealment, id-diskussjoni issa għandha timxi għal hawn u b'hekk nibdew nifirdu ħidma fuq livell infrastrutturali fuq dan l-aspett u dawk ta' politika ta' kif jitħaddmu, kif bdejna anke niddiskutu ukoll hawn taħt fis-suġġett/taqsima li jmiss. --ToniSant (d) 19:05, 29 Mej 2020 (UTC)

Ritratt ta' J.J. Cremona

Hemm xi ritratt ta' J.J. Cremona li nistgħu intellgħu legalment? Leli Forte (d) 15:24, 26 Diċembru 2020 (UTC)

Sibt ritratt permezz tal-infobox iġġenerata minn Wikidata u daħħaltha fil-paġna biex jidher ir-ritratt. --ToniSant (d) 12:24, 11 Jannar 2021 (UTC)

Prosit u grazzi. Leli Forte (d) 15:37, 11 Jannar 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedija:Wikipedia 20

Fil-15 ta' Jannar 2021 il-Wikipedia għalqet 20 sena. Il-Wikipedija bil-Malti qed tingħaqad ma' komunitajiet oħra tal-Wikipedia madwar id-dinja biex tiċċelebra dan l-anniversarju, bil-kollaborazzjoni ta' Wikimedia Community Malta.

Fost l-attivitajiet prinċipali hemm il-parteċipazzjoni fil-paġna fuq il-Meta-Wiki tal-Fondazzjoni Wikimedia, kif ukoll kampanja biex jinkitbu 20 artiklu enċiklopediku dwar 20 suġġett mil-lista ta' artikli li kull Wikipedija għandu jkollha. Dawn qed jidhru fuq din il-paġna li minnha huma kkordinati dawn l-attivitajiet.

F'20 jum bejn Jannar u Marzu 2021 se niktbu artikli ġodda tal-Wikipedija bil-Malti flimkien. Il-lista ta' suġġetti li qed naraw li jkunu tradotti u/jew jinkitbu hawn: Wikipedija:Wikipedia_20. --ToniSant (d) 17:33, 18 Jannar 2021 (UTC)

Bħala parti minn din l-inizjattiva, offrejna kors ta' taħriġ lit-tradutturi Maltin fl-istituzzjonijiet Ewropej nhar il-Ħamis 20 u l-Ġimgħa 21 ta' Jannar. Uħud mill-parteċipanti qed jiktbu artikli fuq mt.wikipedia issa u fost dawn hemm Trigcly li ħoloq il-paġna dwar il-Ġebla ta' Rosetta u monument, Tonygaffiero bil-paġna dwar il-muniċipalità Ġermaniża Konz, u Camilca b'ħajjat. L-istedina biex tattendu l-laqgħat ta' Wikimedia Community Malta kuljum (mit-Tnejn sal-Ġimgħa) fis-6pm CET ikomplu bejn il-25 u 29 ta' Jannar, kif ukoll l-1 sal-5 ta' Frar. Niltaqgħu onlajn permezz ta' din il-ħolqa. Narawkom! --ToniSant (d) 17:57, 22 Jannar 2021 (UTC)

Il-ġeneru

Fid-dinja anglofona sar komuni li l-isem tal-professjonijiet ma jinbidilx mal-ġeneru, pereżempju actress ma tantx għadha tintuża. Taħsbu li din għandha tkun il-pulitka tagħna wkoll? Biex ngħid il-verità jien insibha diffiċli ngħid kittieb għal mara.

Jekk ma nagħmlux hekk ħa jkun hemm problema teknika fl-infoboxes ta' wikidata. Il-Franċiżi qishom qegħdin jużawha din is-sistema u għandhom l-istess problem. ma nafx kif solvewha.

—Leli Forte (d) 20:18, 30 Jannar 2021 (UTC)

@Leli Forte: Dan punt importanti u fl-istess ħin interessanti. Fl-Ingliż diġà daħlet f'Malta. Riċentament fit-Times of Malta kien hemm artiklu dwar attriċi li rreferew għaliha dejjem bħala actor u qatt bħala actress. Hemm soluzzjonijiet oħra vis-a-vis Wikidata fejn il-varjant għall-ġeneru jew anke l-plural huma indirizzati fid-database stess. Personalment għadni ma nafx bizzejjed dwar Wikidata biex nitkellem aktar dwar kif taħdem eżatt din is-soluzzjoni. Nevborg, EnriqueTabone, u jien se nkun qed insegwu kors ta' taħriġ dwar Wikidata l-ġimgħa d-dieħla. Inżomm dan il-punt li qed issemmi int f'moħħi hekk kif nitgħallem aktar dwar kif jaħdem sew Wikidata. Min jixtieq jingħaqad magħna waqt dan it-taħriġ jista' jsibna hawn kuljum fis-6pm CET bejn 1 u 5 ta' Frar. --ToniSant (d) 12:00, 31 Jannar 2021 (UTC)

Entrati fil-Wikidata

L-entrati fil-Wikidata f'liema stil għandhom ikunu? Xi drabi jkunu bil-kapitali u drabi oħra le. Dawn għandhom iwasslu għal artiklu fil-każ li jkun hemm wieħed, jiġifieri għandhom ikunu fl-istil ta' titlu ta' artiklu?

Grazzi

—Leli Forte (d) 20:50, 10 Frar 2021 (UTC)

@Leli Forte: Hemm żewġ valuri differenti marbuta ma' dan li qed tistaqsi int: it-tikketta (label) hija dejjem mingħajr kapitali, ħlief meta isem propju. Ara bħala eżempju monument (Q4989906). Il-ħolqa għall-artiklu fil-Wikipedia xi ħaġa differenti mit-tikketta. Din issir, kif qed tgħid int, fl-istil tat-titlu tal-artiklu. Biex tara din ta' monument inżel isfel nett tal-paġna tal-Wikidata, fejn hemm id-dettalji kollha tal-lingwi kollha tal-Wikipedia li fiha jeżisti verżjoni ta' dak l-artiklu. Ara hux niftehmu hekk. Grazzi. --ToniSant (d) 18:44, 11 Frar 2021 (UTC)

Proposal: Set two-letter project shortcuts as alias to project namespace globally

Please help translate to your language

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, Wikipedija 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,
--Martin Urbanec (talk) 14:12, 18 Frar 2021 (UTC)

Art+Feminism 2021 f'Malta

Għar-raba' sena, Malta qed tingħaqad ma' komunitajiet oħra tal-Wikipedia madwar id-dinja biex tiċċelebra n-nisa fl-arti, f'edit-a-tona bil-kollaborazzjoni ta' Wikimedia Community Malta. Din is-sena se jkun hemm aktar attenzjoni għal artiki fuq il-Wikipedija bil-Malti, iżda din l-attività torbot ukoll ma' ħidma dwar artisti nisa Maltin fil-Wikipedia b'lingwi oħra kif ukoll fuq Wikidata.

L-edit-a-toni se jsiru online nhar il-Ħamis 4 ta' Marzu fis-6pm u nhar it-Tnejn 8 ta' Marzu fis-6pm. Tista' tissieħeb (bla ħlas) hawn. Aktar tagħrif fuq is-sit tal-Wikimedia Community Malta. --ToniSant (d) 15:49, 4 Marzu 2021 (UTC)

Pittura ta' Mikiel Anton Vassalli

Ir-ritratt (portrait) ta' Mikiel Anton Vassalli li hemm fuq il-Wikipedia kollha hu fittizju u mhu bbażat fuq xejn. Dan kif immaġinah Raymond Pitrè. Hemm ieħor (riliev) ta' Ċensu Apap li hu wkoll mistħajjel. L-uniku wieħed li forsi fih naqra realtà hu dak ta' Paul Farrugia (ikkommissjonat minn Charles Xuereb) li hu bbażat fuq id-deskrizzjoni ta' Vassalli fuq il-permis de séjour [1] li ntħareġ Pariġi. Charles Xuereb għandu d-drittijiet għal dan ir-ritratt imma jagħtina permess nużawh fuq Wikipedia. [2]

Il-permess hu hawn: [3]

—Leli Forte (d) 17:12, 8 Marzu 2021 (UTC)

Tajjeb! Dan il-permess irid jiġi pproċessat permezz tal-hekk imsejjaħ OTRS fuq Commons u mhux b'ħolqa ta' Facebook. Qatt użajtha din? Jien qatt m'użajtha imma b'kumbinazzjoni naf li hekk isir ix-xogħol. -- ToniSant (d) 19:10, 8 Marzu 2021 (UTC)

Le qatt ma użajtha, tidher ikkomplikata. —Leli Forte (d) 11:09, 9 Marzu 2021 (UTC)

Iva, ikkumplikata naqra...u skont ma jgħiduli anke min imdorri jħaddimha jsibha kkumplikata. -- ToniSant (d) 14:13, 9 Marzu 2021 (UTC)

Improving the translation support for Maltese Wikipedia

Hello!

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

Content translation has been successful in supporting the translation process on many Wikipedia communities, and we want to help additional wikis with the potential to grow using translation as part of a new initiative.

Content translation facilitates the creation of Wikipedia articles by translating content from other languages. It has been used already to create more than half a million articles. In addition, the tool provides mechanisms to encourage the creation of good quality content, preventing the publication of lightly edited machine translations. In general, our analysis shows that the translations produced are less likely to be deleted than the articles started from scratch.

Maltese Wikipedia editors have used Content translation to create more than One hundred and fifty articles. Given the size of the editing community, we think that there is potential to use translation to create more articles, expand existing ones, and attract new editors that learn how to make productive edits. Translation can help the community to reduce the language gap with other languages and grow the number of editors in a sustainable way. In order to achieve this goal, we want to collaborate with you to make Content translation more visible in the Maltese Wikipedia and support new ways to translate.

As a first step, during the next weeks, we plan to enable Content translation by default on Maltese Wikipedia. That will make it easy for users to discover the tool through several entry points. However, users not interested in translation will still be able to disable it from their preferences.

Please feel free to share any comment in this conversation thread.

Thanks!

UOzurumba (WMF) (d) 20:10, 8 Marzu 2021 (UTC)

What are the advantages of using this system? Is it better than using Google Translate for instance? Thanks.

—Leli Forte (d) 10:38, 9 Marzu 2021 (UTC)

Google Translate is embedded in it as a translation engine, along with other options, which will presumably improve over time. I've used it to translate at least two articles: Fatberg + Venezja. I don't particularly like it or need it but it has its advantages, and well worth trying, unless you've already established an easier way to translate Wikipedia articles. -- ToniSant (d) 14:17, 9 Marzu 2021 (UTC)

Rebbiegħa CEE 2021

Rebbiegħa CEE 2021

L-għaqda voluntarja Wikimedia Community Malta (WCM) qed tistiednek tieħu sehem fit-tieni edizzjoni tal-konkors Rebbiegħa CEE 2021 fuq il-Wikipedija bil-Malti bejn il-21 ta' Marzu u l-20 ta' Ġunju 2021. Matul dan il-perjodu, il-WCM qed torganizza numru ta' edit-a-toni għal min jixtieq jitgħallem aktar dwar kif jinkitbu l-artiklu fuq il-Wikipedija.

Ingħaqad ma' komunitajiet oħra tal-Wikipedia madwar id-dinja biex tittraduċi artikli dwar suġġetti li għandhom x'jaqsmu mal-Ewropa Ċentrali u tal-Lvant. Hemm diversi premjijiet x'jintrebħu f'dan il-konkors. Id-dettalji kollha ssibhom fuq il-paġna Wikipedija:Rebbiegħa CEE 2021 --ToniSant (d) 10:39, 22 Marzu 2021 (UTC)

Mudelli ta' Referenza

Kemm navża li għadni kif lestejt ix-xogħol biex naqilbu għall-mudelli l-ġodda ta' ċitazzjoni. S'issa, għandna dawn il-mudelli:

• Mudell:Ċita aħbar għal artikli mill-aħbarijiet
• Mudell:Ċita enċiklopedija għal daħliet f'enċiklopedija jew dizzjunarju
• Mudell:Ċita konferenza għal artikli minn konferenza
• Mudell:Ċita ktieb għal kotba jew kapitli minn kotba
• Mudell:Ċita rivista għal artikli minn rivisti akkademiċi jew professjonali
• Mudell:Ċita teżi għal teżijiet
• Mudell:Ċita web għal paġni mill-Internet
• Mudell:Ċitazzjoni: mudell ġenerali.

Il-mudelli kollha għandhom xi forma ta' dokumentazzjoni ħafif għal min jimmodifika s-sors tal-artikli, imma jistgħu jintużaw ukoll mill-VisualEditor (kemm miċ-Ċita dropdown manwalment jew awtomatikament, kif ukoll jekk tfittxuhom mid-dropdown Daħħal > Mudell).

Peress li hemm parametri li inbidlu mill-mudelli l-qodma għall-mudelli l-ġodda, dan ifisser li hemm ħafna żbalji fis-sezzjoni tar-referenzi. Qed indur l-artikli kollha u nirranġahom, imma min jixtieq jgħini, merħba bih! Tistgħu taraw eżempju ta' artiklu lest bil-mudelli irranġati hawn: Enċiklopedija.

@Scutajar: Grazzi u prosit tassew! Għadni kemm dort l-artiklu dwar Venezja u jkolli ngħid li, għalkemm ftit tedjanti t-tindif, il-mod ta' kif jitnaddfu parametri miksura jew qodma li jidhru bl-aħmar faċli ħafna, speċjalment bl-użu tal-VisualEditor. Inħajjar lil edituri/kontributuri u utenti oħra jipparteċipaw ukoll f'dan it-tindif meta jaraw li hemm bżonnu fuq xi artiklu jew ieħor li jkunu qed jaqraw jew jimmodifikaw. -- ToniSant (d) 19:04, 22 Marzu 2021 (UTC)

@ToniSant: Kemm navża li dawn il-kategoriji: Kategorija:CS1 sorsi bil-lingwa Ingliż (en)‎, Kategorija:CS1 sorsi bil-lingwa Taljan (it)‎, Kategorija:CS1 sorsi bil-lingwa Ġermaniż (de)‎ m'għadhomx validi, u għandhom jinbidlu għal dawn il-kategoriji: Kategorija:Sorsi CS1 bl-Ingliż (en) eċċ. L-artiklu huwa ġġenerat kif suppost issa. —Scutajar (d) 12:26, 31 Marzu 2021 (UTC)

@Scutajar: grazzi ta' dan l-aġġornament. Apparti hekk, qed naħseb li dawn il-kategoriji jridu jkunu moħbija - i.e. hidden categories jew ossija . Se nara nieħux ħsiebha din fil-proċess ukoll. -- ToniSant (d) 18:33, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

@Scutajar: Il-kategoriji li ndikajt int li m'għadhomx validi issa tmexxew. Għadni qed nesplora eżatt f'lingwi hemm, imma skoprejt diversi, diġà. Hemm xi lista x'imkien? Fil-proċess ħbejt ukoll dawn il-kategoriji u xi oħrajn assoċjati magħhom...però għad fadal x'jinħeba. Intant ħloqt ukoll sotto-kategorija: Kategorija:Manutenzjoni tar-referenzi. U l-ħidma tkompli, sintendi. Grazzi dejjem! -- ToniSant (d) 09:35, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Ismijiet tal-Istati Sovrani, Pajjiżi u Territorji fil-Wikidata

Ħadt ħsieb naġġorna l-lista kollha ta' pajjiżi, stati sovrani u territorji fil-Wikidata u żidt deskrizzjoni bil-Malti għalihom kollha.

Żammejt mal-lista uffiċjali tal-Gwida tal-Istil Interistituzzjonali tal-UE (approvata wkoll mill-Kunsill Nazzjonali tal-Ilsien Malti). L-ortografija antika kif ukoll l-ismijiet formali sħaħ inkludejthom fil-kolonna Also Known As.

Ma nafx tistgħux tużaw il-listi aġġornati mill-Wikidata biex jiġu aġġornati l-listi fil-Wikipedija u fil-Kategoriji--Trigcly (d) 19:35, 27 Marzu 2021 (UTC)

Grazzii ħafna ta' dan ix-xogħol, Trigcly. Biex nużaw dawn il-listi minn Wikidata irridu nimplimentaw il-Listeria. Lista/listi ok naħseb, la darba xi ħadd (forsi jien) fil-kommunità jifhem sew kif taħdem u nidentifikaw eżatt fejn irridiuhom, apparti Pajjiżi tad-dinja. Il-kategoriji, però, iridu jsiru manwalment, sa fejn naf jien. -- ToniSant (d) 08:54, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

Universal Code of Conduct – 2021 consultations

Universal Code of Conduct Phase 2

Please help translate to your language

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

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

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.

Line numbering coming soon to all wikis

Example

From April 15, you can enable line numbering in some wikitext editors - for now in the template namespace, coming to more namespaces soon. This will make it easier to detect line breaks and to refer to a particular line in discussions. These numbers will be shown if you enable the syntax highlighting feature (CodeMirror extension), which is supported in the 2010 and 2017 wikitext editors.

More information can be found on this project page. Everyone is invited to test the feature, and to give feedback on this talk page.

-- Johanna Strodt (WMDE) 15:09, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Suggested Values

From April 29, it will be possible to suggest values for parameters in templates. Suggested values can be added to TemplateData and will then be shown as a drop-down list in VisualEditor. This allows template users to quickly select an appropriate value. This way, it prevents potential errors and reduces the effort needed to fill the template with values. It will still be possible to fill in values other than the suggested ones.

More information, including the supported parameter types and how to create suggested values: [1] [2]. Everyone is invited to test the feature, and to give feedback on this talk page.

Il-ħidma tkompli, anke ma' utenti/edituri voluntiera oħra ġodda. F'isem il-komunità tal-Wikipedija: grazzi ħafna! --ToniSant (d) 10:19, 25 April 2021 (UTC)

4,000 artiklu

Illum, 3 ta' Ġunju 2021, tfaċċa l-4,000 artiklu fuq il-Wikipedija bil-Malti. Dan l-artiklu huwa dwar it-Times of Malta u nħoloq minn Utent:EnriqueTabone waqt sessjoni ta' kull nhar ta' Ħamis organizzata mill-Wikimedia Community Malta. Grazzi u prosit tassew! --ToniSant (d) 18:04, 3 Ġunju 2021 (UTC)

Editing news 2021 #2

Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter

When newcomers had the Reply tool and tried to post on a talk page, they were more successful at posting a comment. (Source)

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.

The key results were:

• Newer editors who had automatic ("default on") access to the Reply tool were more likely to post a comment on a talk page.
• The comments that newer editors made with the Reply Tool were also less likely to be reverted than the comments that newer editors made with page editing.

These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.

Looking ahead

The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.

The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.

You can turn on "Discussion tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

Server switch

Read this message in another language • Please help translate to your language

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.

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, 29 June 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 30 June).
• 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.
• There will be code freezes for the week of June 28. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.

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.

Attività

Irrid ngħid kemm qiegħed nieħu gost bl-ammont tal-attività fuq mt.wikipedia bħalissa. Għal xi sitt snin kont kważi waħdi u ma tantx kelli tama li l-wikipedija se tibqa' ħajja. Nixtieq nirringrazzja 'l dawk kollha li qegħdin jikkontribwixxu specjalment lil Utent:Trigcly u Utent:ToniSant.

—Leli Forte (d) 08:12, 13 Lulju 2021 (UTC)

-ist jew -ista?

Hemm ħafna varjanti li jispiċċaw b'-ist jew -ista, pjanist/pjanista, ekonomist/ekonomista.... -ist għandha l-vantaġġ li jista' jkollha l-maskil u l-femminil?

Tgħid għandna nagħmlu xi forma ta' standardizzazzjoni bħala "house style" u nużaw waħda minnhom biss kemm jista' jkun?

—Leli Forte (d) 10:27, 17 Lulju 2021 (UTC)

House style essenzjali li jkollna. Wikidata jagħtina ukoll il-possibilita’ tal-varjanti. Tajjeb naraw il-fehmiet ta’ edituri oħra qabel niddeċiedu. — ToniSant (d) 16:47, 17 Lulju 2021 (UTC)

{{wieġeb Leli Forte}} fil-wikidata tajjeb li jiddaħħlu l-varjanti u fil-wikipedija nistgħu nużaw ir-rindirizzi. Mill-puntdivista tan-newtralità tal-ġeneru, -ista tajba għall-maskil u għall-femminil allura ħsibt li iktar toqgħod mingħajr ma nkunu parzjali favur il-maskil. Però jekk jintgħażel xi stil, inżomm miegħu bla problemi. Deċiżjoni stilistika oħra li tista' tittieħed hija rigward varjanti -at jew -ist (eż. xjenzat/xjentist), -ogu/a jew -ist(a) (eż. arkeologu jew arkeoloġista; ġeologu jew ġeoloġista).

Il-problema l-iktar hija meta ma jkunx hemm qbil bejn l-Ingliż u t-Taljan (eż. statist naraha stramba għaliex bit-Taljan statista u bl-Ingliż statesperson). --Trigcly (d) 06:10, 19 Lulju 2021 (UTC)
