Global bot policy proposal: invitation to a Meta discussion

Salut!

I apologize for sending a message in English. Hëlleft wgl. fir an Är Sprooch z'iwwersetzen. According to the list, your wiki project currently is opted in to the global bot policy. Under this policy, bots that fix double redirects or maintain interwiki links are allowed to operate under a global bot flag that is assigned directly by the stewards.

As the Wikimedia projects developed, the need for the current global bot policy decreased, and in the past years, no bots were appointed via that policy. That is mainly given Wikidata were estabilished in 2013, and it is no longer necessary to have dozens of bots that maintain interwiki links.

A proposal was made at Meta-Wiki, which proposes that the stewards will be authorized to determine whether an uncontroversial task may be assigned a global bot flag. The stewards already assign permissions that are more impactful on many wikis, namely, global sysops and global renamers, and I do not think that trust should be an issue. The stewards will assign the permission only to time-proven bots that are already approved at a number of projects, like ListeriaBot.

By this message, I would like to invite you to comment in the global RFC, to voice your opinion about this matter.

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,

Wikidata descriptions changes to be included more often in Recent Changes and Watchlist

Sorry for sending this message in English. Translations are available on this page. Feel free to translate it in more languages!

As you may know, you can include changes coming from Wikidata in your Watchlist and Recent Changes (in your preferences). Until now, this feature didn’t always include changes made on Wikidata descriptions due to the way Wikidata tracks the data used in a given article.

Starting on December 3rd, the Watchlist and Recent Changes will include changes on the descriptions of Wikidata Items that are used in the pages that you watch. This will only include descriptions in the language of your wiki to make sure that you’re only seeing changes that are relevant to your wiki.

This improvement was requested by many users from different projects. We hope that it can help you monitor the changes on Wikidata descriptions that affect your wiki and participate in the effort of improving the data quality on Wikidata for all Wikimedia wikis and beyond.

Note: if you didn’t use the Wikidata watchlist integration feature for a long time, feel free to give it another chance! The feature has been improved since the beginning and the content it displays is more precise and useful than at the beginning of the feature in 2015.

If you encounter any issue or want to provide feedback, feel free to use this Phabricator ticket. Thanks!

Van Tonder

Gudde Moien all Wikipedianer op der lbWiki.

Mat dësem Message deelt Wikimedia Lëtzebuerg Iech mat, datt se mat engem Bréif vun der Commission de la protection des Données bebaasst gouf, wat den Inhalt vum Artikel Susanna van Tonder ugeet. Fir et kuerz ze maachen, Madame van Tonder hätt gär datt veschidden Donnéeën aus hirem Artikel solle geläascht ginn. Dat wier jo fir Iech sécher kee Problem. Wat allerdéngs ganz grave ass, dat ass datt déi Madamm verschidde Benotzer dem cyber-harassment beschëllegt a gemengt si follgend Benotzer: GilPe, Les Meloures, Puscas, Soued031 an eng IP. Wann déi Leit wëllen eppes géint déi Diffamatioun ënnerhuelen, da ka Wikimedia Lëtzebuerg hinnen de Bréif vun der Kommissioun zoukomme loossen. Mat beschte Gréiss a schéi Feierdeeg gewënscht. --Wikimed.lu (Diskussioun) 13:30, 22. Dez. 2020 (UTC)

Fir z'ergänzen, an dovun ofgesinn: Ech hat virgeschloen, deen Artikel ze läschen, aus Grënn, déi op Wikipedia:Läschen ugefouert sinn. Ech profitéieren dovun, dem Veräin Wikimedia Lëtzebuerg merci ze soen fir seng Promotiounsaarbecht uechtert d'Joer absënns fir dës kleng Wikipedia. Schéi Feierdeeg och vu mir.--Zinneke (Diskussioun) 13:59, 22. Dez. 2020 (UTC)

Meng Meenung zu deem Ganzen: Wann déi Damm gär hätt datt eppes aus dem Artikel soll eraus geholl ginn da soll se dat entweder hei oder oder op der Diskussiounssäit vum Artikel froen. Dat ass d'Prozedur wéi se soll gemaach ginn, fir datt all Wikipedianer seng Meenung kann derzou soen.

D'Wikipedianer sinn net forcéiert fir Dokumenter bei Veräiner nozefroen, fir ze wësse wat do gefrot gouf. Déi Damm schèngt awer e Problem ze hunn, si intervenéiert léiwer op Ëmweeër a mécht dat wat een op gutt Lëtzebuergesch Beschass ka nennen. Si ka keen Ënnescheed tëscht harrasment an enzyklopedesche Fakten a Verbesserunge maachen, a geet da bei aner Leit onnëtzerweis kräischen a Wikipedianer zu onrecht beschëllegen. Et freet ee sech wéi Leit mat sou enger Mentalitéit an d'Selektioun kënne komme fir Lëtzebuergerin vum Joer ze ginn, a ginn och dervun aus datt dat Uleeë vum Artikel just an dësem Ament, eng Autopromotioun an Hisiicht op dee Präis ass.

Fir et kuerz ze soen vun deene Wikipedianer déi si beschëllegt huet keen den Artikel ugeluecht, déi hu just Verbesserunge gemaach a Kloerstellunge gefrot. Komescherweis gëtt de Benotzer deen den Artikel an dräi verschiddene Wikien ugeluecht net ernimmt. (Wat menger Meenung genuch ausseet).

Am Fall wou den Artikel op der lb:Wiki wéinst Irrelevanz an Autopromotioun sollt geläscht ginn, wier et menger Meenung no och ubruecht déi Wikien an anere Sproochen dovun z'informéieren.

--Les Meloures dee wahrscheinlech och eng Plainte wéinst Diffamatioun géint d'Madame van Tonder areecht.

Ech verstinn net firwat mir gefrot ginn d'Quell erauszehuelen obwuel déi ëffentlech am RCS disponibel ass an zu all Moment gekuckt ka ginn. Den RCS gëtt jiddwerengem d'Recht d'Donnéeën ze benotze soulaang et net aus kommerzielle Grënn ass ënner der Konditioun datt d'Quell ernimmt gëtt. Wéi kënnt et datt den CNPD eng Annex benotzt wou ënner annerem ech ouni iergend e Grond als "Harceleur" beschëllegt ginn. An do kann ech dem Les Meloures nëmmen uschléisse wéi kënnt et datt de ContentForWiki dee grad iwwer d'Krankheet an den Gender schwätzt guer net ernimmt gëtt. --Soued031 (Diskussioun) 16:55, 23. Dez. 2020 (UTC)

Jidderee kann en Artikel änneren... Wann d'Madamm van Tonder dat gemaach hätt, mat enger Begrënnung op der Diskussiounssäit firwat si hir perséinlech Donnéeen net do stoe wëll hunn, hätt warscheinlech och jiddereen dat acceptéiert; et gouf och schonn an anere Fäll esou gehandhaabt. GilPe (Diskussioun) 21:17, 23. Dez. 2020 (UTC)

Merci fir d'Publikatioun vum Dokument. Ech hu scho meng Konsequenze gezunn. Meng Ënnerstëtzung déi ech fir hire Veräin bis elo gemaach hunn fällt an der Zukunft an d'Waasser, an e puer vu menge Frënn wäerten och sou maache wéi ech. Dann ass deen Harcellement mol manner. --Puscas (Diskussioun) 11:58, 24. Dez. 2020 (UTC)

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

Hëlleft wgl. fir an Är Sprooch z'iwwersetzen

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, Wikipedia 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. Feb. 2021 (UTC)
