Challenging actions administrator ‪Q-bit array‬[edit]

Today, this person siphoned off all my edits for no reason, accusing me of bypassing a lock that was blocked indefinitely. It is not so impossible to contact this person, since he also closed his discussion page from me. Please tell me what to do if the administrator of the Russian-language Wikipedia is so rude to everyone? Zaykadin (talk) 11:20, 23 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Training on using the Wiki Applications[edit]

I've just re-donated to support Wikipedia for another year. But, I think I only scratch the surface of using it and the other related Wiki offerings. How can I get training (e.g. videos) on how to use all of the offerings? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.132.217.186 (talk) 14:38, 22 September 2022‎

Join the Movement Charter Regional Conversation Hours[edit]

You can find this message translated into additional languages on Meta-wiki.

Hi all,

As most of you are aware, the Movement Charter Drafting Committee (MCDC) is currently collecting community feedback about three draft sections of the Movement Charter: Preamble, Values & Principles, and Roles & Responsibilities (intentions statement).

How can you participate and share your feedback?

The MCDC is looking forward to receiving all types of feedback in different languages from the community members across the Movement and Affiliates. You can participate in the following ways:

  • Attend the community conversation hours with MCDC members. Details about the regional community conversation hours are published here
  • Fill out a survey (optional and anonymous)
  • Share your thoughts and feedback on the Meta talk page
  • Share your thoughts and feedback on the MS Forum:
  • Send an email to: movementcharter@wikimedia.org if you have other feedback to the MCDC.

Community consultation hour for the United States and Canada will take place on Monday, 5 December 2022 on Zoom. You can check out more times here. The conversations will not be recorded, except for the section where participants are invited to share what they discussed in the breakout rooms. We will take notes and produce a summary report afterwards.

If you want to learn more about the Movement Charter, its goals, why it matters and how it impacts your community, please watch the recording of the “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter” sessions which took place earlier in November 2022.

Thank you for your participation.

On behalf of the Movement Charter Drafting Committee,

About the page title of Steward requests/Username changes[edit]

Hello, I have a question on the page title of Steward requests/Username changes. I had posted the question on October but there is no answer and it is now being archived. As most renames are done by global renamers, I have no idea why this page is placed in the subpage of Steward requests. Should this page being moved to other titles, such as Requests for username changes? 132.234.135.53 05:54, 7 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Translation of the Wikimedia Foundation wiki and other sites[edit]

Hello, could you please let me know how to go about translating the sidebar on the Wikimedia Governance wiki?[1] I can't find neither any equivalent to {{edit request}} there nor any discussion site except for this one. Could you also please let me know where to translate the official site and similar sites? Thank you in advance. --Eleassar my talk 16:48, 7 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I asked the same question a while ago and was told it’s done on translatewiki.net and we’ll need to set up a separate account [ETA: I don’t know how to translate the official site or similar sites.] — Al12si (talk) 02:35, 13 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hi, Al12si. I have been very active on translatewiki.net and afaik these messages are not available there. For example, I can't find the message for "Official website" or for "Questions for Wikimedia?" Please let me know if I am mistaken (for example, by providing a link). --TadejM my talk 02:40, 14 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Movement Charter: End of the community consultation round 1[edit]

Hi everyone,

On behalf of the Movement Charter Drafting Committee (MCDC), we would like to thank everyone who has participated in our first community wide consultation period on the Movement Charter.

People from across the Movement shared their feedback and thoughts on the content of the Movement Charter. If you have not had the chance to share your opinion yet, you are welcome to do so still by giving the drafts a read and filling out the anonymous survey, which is accessible in 12+ languages. The survey will close on January 2, 2023. You are invited to continue to share your thoughts with the MCDC via email too: movementcharter@wikimedia.org.

What’s next?

The Movement Strategy and Governance team will publish the final report with the summary of the feedback received in January 2023. It will be shared with the MCDC and the communities via different distribution channels.

After receiving the final report, the MCDC will review the suggestions and communicate the changes by providing an explanation on how and why suggestions were or were not adopted in the next versions of the drafts. There will be additional ways to engage with the Movement Charter content in 2023, including early feedback on a proposed ratification process and new drafts of different chapters in the second quarter of 2023.

We invite you to sign-up to the MCDC monthly newsletter, it will be delivered to the Talk page of your choice. Monthly updates are available on Meta to remain updated on the progress of the MCDC.

Interested people can still sign-up to become a Movement Charter Ambassador (MC Ambassador) to support their community. The MC Ambassadors Program grant program will restart accepting applications from both individuals and groups ahead of the next round of consultations in the second quarter of 2023.

We thank you for your participation, time and effort in helping to build the Charter for our Movement!
