Proposal to create PNG thumbnails of static GIF images

 
The thumbnail of this gif is of really bad quality.
 
How a PNG thumb of this GIF would look like

There is a proposal at the Commons Village Pump requesting feedback about the thumbnails of static GIF images: It states that static GIF files should have their thumbnails created in PNG. The advantages of PNG over GIF would be visible especially with GIF images using an alpha channel. (compare the thumbnails on the side)

This change would affect all wikis, so if you support/oppose or want to give general feedback/concerns, please post them to the proposal page. Thank you. --McZusatz (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (vita) 2015. július 24., 07:07 (CEST)[válasz]

What does a Healthy Community look like to you?

 

Hi,
The Community Engagement department at the Wikimedia Foundation has launched a new learning campaign. The WMF wants to record community impressions about what makes a healthy online community. Share your views and/or create a drawing and take a chance to win a Wikimania 2016 scholarship! Join the WMF as we begin a conversation about Community Health. Contribute a drawing or answer the questions on the campaign's page.

Why get involved?

The world is changing. The way we relate to knowledge is transforming. As the next billion people come online, the Wikimedia movement is working to bring more users on the wiki projects. The way we interact and collaborate online are key to building sustainable projects. How accessible are Wikimedia projects to newcomers today? Are we helping each other learn?
Share your views on this matter that affects us all!
We invite everyone to take part in this learning campaign. Wikimedia Foundation will distribute one Wikimania Scholarship 2016 among those participants who are eligible.

Happy editing!

Introducing the Wikimedia public policy site

Hi all,

We are excited to introduce a new Wikimedia Public Policy site. The site includes resources and position statements on access, copyright, censorship, intermediary liability, and privacy. The site explains how good public policy supports the Wikimedia projects, editors, and mission.

Visit the public policy portal: https://policy.wikimedia.org/

Please help translate the statements on Meta Wiki. You can read more on the Wikimedia blog.

Thanks,

Herczeg Ferenc

Szeptember 2-án egy anon létrehozta a Herczeg Ferenc oldalt azzal, hogy ő Herczeg Ferenc, Bristolban él és fordító, stb. Előtte, 1-én föltett kb. tíz Li Ho-vers fordítását (Kategória:Herczeg Ferenc fordításai), 2-án pedig saját verseket (Kategória:Herczeg Ferenc). Ezekkel több gond is van, de a két legfontosabb, hogy a Wikiforrásba kizárólag valahol már publikált szövegeket lehet föltenni (forrást pedig nem tüntet fel), valamint hogy élő szerzőtől (fordítótól is) kizárólag az illetőtől származó OTRS-engedéllyel lehet szövegeket föltenni. Ezek a két alapfeltétel egyikének sem felelnek meg. Ezért szerintem mindez (a kategóriákkal együtt) azonnal törlendő. Nem teszem föl egyenként a versek lapjaira az "azonnali"-sablont, viszont a Herczeg Ferenc lapra is átmásolom ezt az üzenetet, és megírtam az admin-üzenőre is. --Vadaro (vita) 2015. szeptember 2., 21:10 (CEST)[válasz]

Természetesen folytatja a versek feltöltését. Azóta létrehozta a Szerző:Herczeg Ferenc lapot is, most annak a vitalapjára is bemásoltam a fenti üzenetet. --Vadaro (vita) 2015. szeptember 5., 22:20 (CEST)[válasz]

Wikimania 2016 scholarships ambassadors needed

Hello! Wikimania 2016 scholarships will soon be open; by the end of the week we'll form the committee and we need your help, see Scholarship committee for details.

If you want to carefully review nearly a thousand applications in January, you might be a perfect committee member. Otherwise, you can volunteer as "ambassador": you will observe all the committee activities, ensure that people from your language or project manage to apply for a scholarship, translate scholarship applications written in your language to English and so on. Ambassadors are allowed to ask for a scholarship, unlike committee members.

Harassment consultation

Segíts lefordítani a saját nyelvedre

The Community Advocacy team the Wikimedia Foundation has opened a consultation on the topic of harassment on Meta. The consultation period is intended to run for one month from today, November 16, and end on December 17. Please share your thoughts there on harassment-related issues facing our communities and potential solutions. (Note: this consultation is not intended to evaluate specific cases of harassment, but rather to discuss the problem of harassment itself.)

Regards, Community Advocacy, Wikimedia Foundation

This is a message regarding the proposed 2015 Free Bassel banner. Translations are available.

Hi everyone,

This is to inform all Wikimedia contributors that a straw poll seeking your involvement has just been started on Meta-Wiki.

As some of your might be aware, a small group of Wikimedia volunteers have proposed a banner campaign informing Wikipedia readers about the urgent situation of our fellow Wikipedian, open source software developer and Creative Commons activist, Bassel Khartabil. An exemplary banner and an explanatory page have now been prepared, and translated into about half a dozen languages by volunteer translators.

We are seeking your involvement to decide if the global Wikimedia community approves starting a banner campaign asking Wikipedia readers to call on the Syrian government to release Bassel from prison. We understand that a campaign like this would be unprecedented in Wikipedia's history, which is why we're seeking the widest possible consensus among the community.

Given Bassel's urgent situation and the resulting tight schedule, we ask everyone to get involved with the poll and the discussion to the widest possible extent, and to promote it among your communities as soon as possible.

(Apologies for writing in English; please kindly translate this message into your own language.)

Thank you for your participation!

Katona Bálint Édenkeresők című szövegéből nem töltene fel valaki részleteket a wikiforrásba? Apród (vita) 2015. december 6., 13:04 (CET)[válasz]

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.

 

As many of you know, January 15 is Wikipedia’s 15th Birthday!

People around the world are getting involved in the celebration and have started adding their events on Meta Page. While we are celebrating Wikipedia's birthday, we hope that all projects and affiliates will be able to utilize this celebration to raise awareness of our community's efforts.

Haven’t started planning? Don’t worry, there’s lots of ways to get involved. Here are some ideas:

Everything is linked on the Wikipedia 15 Meta page. You’ll find a set of ten data visualization works that you can show at your events, and a list of all the Wikipedia 15 logos that community members have already designed.

If you have any questions, please contact Zachary McCune or Joe Sutherland.

Thanks and Happy nearly Wikipedia 15!

2016 WMF Strategy consultation

Segíts lefordítani a saját nyelvedre

Hello, all.

The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) has launched a consultation to help create and prioritize WMF strategy beginning July 2016 and for the 12 to 24 months thereafter. This consultation will be open, on Meta, from 18 January to 26 February, after which the Foundation will also use these ideas to help inform its Annual Plan. (More on our timeline can be found on that Meta page.)

Your input is welcome (and greatly desired) at the Meta discussion, 2016 Strategy/Community consultation.

Apologies for English, where this is posted on a non-English project. We thought it was more important to get the consultation translated as much as possible, and good headway has been made there in some languages. There is still much to do, however! We created m:2016 Strategy/Translations to try to help coordinate what needs translation and what progress is being made. :)

If you have questions, please reach out to me on my talk page or on the strategy consultation's talk page or by email to mdennis@wikimedia.org.

I hope you'll join us! Maggie Dennis via MediaWiki message delivery (vita) 2016. január 18., 20:06 (CET)[válasz]

Javaslat kategóriák átnevezésére

Javaslom átnevezni a Kategória:Szerzők korszakok szerint kategória következő alkategóriáit úgy, hogy a római számok helyett a Wikipédiában is és az itteni Kategória:Világirodalom korszakok szerint kategóriában is használt arab számok legyenek:

  • XVIII. századi szerzők >>> 18. századi szerzők
  • XIX. századi szerzők‎ >>> 19. századi szerzők
  • XX. századi szerzők‎ >>> 20. századi szerzők
  • XXI. századi szerzők‎ >>> 21. századi szerzők

Ha erre a javaslatra egy héten belül nem érkezik válasz, akkor a javaslatot elfogadottnak tekintem. Ha lehetséges, a kategóriákat átnevezem; ha ezt a rendszer nem teszi lehetővé, akkor megkérem rá az adminisztrátorokat. Átnevezés után a kategóriákhoz tartozó szócikkekben a szükséges módosítást megcsinálom.

Új sablon

Tegnap Tacsipacsi kollégánk új sablont készített: Sablon:Szerző, köszönet érte. Ennek segítségével a szerzők lapjára boxot lehet beszúrni, ha az adott szerzőnek van portréja a Commonsban. A kép alatt automatikusan megjelenik a Wikipédia és a Wikidézet megfelelő oldalára mutató link (ha ott van ilyen oldal). Ilyen esetben ezekre a társprojektekre mutató eddigi, össze-vissza lógó sablonok a szerző lapjáról törölhetők. A box pl. a Szerző:Gárdonyi Géza lapról másolható. --Vadaro (vita) 2016. február 5., 09:44 (CET)[válasz]

Két törlési javaslat

A Wikiforrás:Szavazás_törlésről lapon az alábbi két törlési javaslatot tettem:

  • Javaslat üres kategórialapok törlésére
  • Javaslat üres szerzői lapok törlésére

A témákat azon a lapon lehet megbeszélni. A javaslat szerint a törlési megbeszélés – a hozzászólások számától függően – legkorábban egy hét múlva zárható le. Köszönettel: --Vadaro (vita) 2016. február 16., 13:13 (CET)[válasz]

Kategorizálatlan lapok

Ezt csak tegnap vettem észre, mert a lapra mutató link angol nyelvű volt: Kategorizálatlan lapok. A listában kb. 70 szerzői lap is van, tehát miután kategorizálom őket, a Kategória:Szerzők-ben lévő lapok száma – jelenleg 487 lap – ennyivel megnő, leszámítva az esetleg törlendőket. (Nyilván a szerzők kategóriái is hiányoznak). --Vadaro (vita) 2016. március 3., 08:51 (CET)[válasz]

Tegnap a lista első 50 tételét átnéztem. Majdnem mindhez hozzátettem kategóriát, (sajnos gyakran csak ezt: Kategória: Azonnali törlésre váró lapok), de a listából még ma reggelre sem törlődött egyetlen cím sem. A lap tetején ez áll: "Az alábbi adatok gyorsítótárból (cache-ből) származnak..." Tudna valaki segíteni? Ettől függetlenül folytatom. --Vadaro (vita) 2016. március 4., 09:45 (CET)[válasz]

Azóta már törlődött, a rendszer megcsinálta. --Vadaro (vita) 2016. március 7., 12:55 (CET)[válasz]

Server switch 2016

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its newest data center in Dallas. This will make sure 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 conduct a planned test. This test will show whether they can reliably switch from one data center to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.

They will switch all traffic to the new data center on Tuesday, 19 April.
On Thursday, 21 April, they will switch back to the primary data center.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop during those two switches. 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 approximately 15 to 30 minutes on Tuesday, 19 April and Thursday, 21 April, starting at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 07:00 PDT).

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 a code freeze for the week of 18 April.

No non-essential code deployments will take place.

This test was originally planned to take place on March 22. April 19th and 21st are the new dates. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. They will post any changes on that schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community. /User:Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 2016. április 17., 23:08 (CEST)[válasz]

JavaScript

Hi. I can see that this project has old JavaScript that needs to be updated. I would happily make the required updates myself, but I would have to – at least temporarily – become an admin here to do that (because the relevant pages are in the MediaWiki namespace). I have already made these updates on a number of other projects, so it would be very easy for me to do this. If no one does anything, some JavaScript-related tools will break later this year. If you want me to make these updates, you can grant me admin rights and I will make the updates as soon as I can. Nirmos (vita) 2016. június 3., 07:13 (CEST)[válasz]
@Nirmos: The problem is that we have only one active admin and our only bureaucrat (Grin) is also inactive – he had one edit in the last three years here. So it would be great if you could do this, but you won’t get admin flag here. Can you get on Meta? (Or probably BáthoryPéter can do them if he’s around.) --Tacsipacsi (vita) 2016. július 1., 10:00 (CEST)[válasz]
