This year, Feminism and Folklore will focus on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics for the project, with a [[:c:Commons:Wiki Loves Folklore 2024|Wiki Loves Folklore]] gender gap focus and a folk culture theme on Wikipedia. You can help Wikipedia's coverage of folklore from your area by writing or improving articles about things like folk festivals, folk dances, folk music, women and queer folklore figures, folk game athletes, women in mythology, women warriors in folklore, witches and witch hunting, fairy tales, and more. Users can help create new articles, expand or translate from a generated list of suggested articles. Organisers are requested to work on the following action items to sign up their communities for the project: # Create a page for the contest on the local wiki. # Set up a campaign on '''CampWiz''' tool. # Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes. # Request local admins for site notice. # Link the local page and the CampWiz link on the [[:m:Feminism and Folklore 2024/Project Page|meta project page]]. This year, the Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced two new tools to enhance support for the campaign. These tools include the '''Article List Generator by Topic''' and '''CampWiz'''. The Article List Generator by Topic enables users to identify articles on the English Wikipedia that are not present in their native language Wikipedia. Users can customize their selection criteria, and the tool will present a table showcasing the missing articles along with suggested titles. Additionally, users have the option to download the list in both CSV and wikitable formats. Notably, the CampWiz tool will be employed for the project for the first time, empowering users to effectively host the project with a jury. Both tools are now available for use in the campaign.

The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats. The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections committee|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 [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Foundation elections/2024|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.

[[User:Grigoriy Korotkih|Grigoriy Korotkih]] ([[User talk:Grigoriy Korotkih|talk]]) 17:33, 4 june 2024 (UTC) == Wild idea == Ten years ago, when I was an admin here, the thought occurred to me that we might as well open up the Novial Wikipedia for similar language projects. At present, there are requests to create Wikipedias in [[:meta:Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Interglossa|Interglossa]] and [[:meta:Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Neo|Neo]]. A similar request for [[:meta:Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Glosa|Glosa]] was rejected. In addition, there are wikis for languages like [https://neutral.fandom.com/wiki/Pagin_prinsipal Idiom Neutral], [https://intal.fandom.com/ Intal], [https://glosa.fandom.com/ Glosa], [https://uropi.fandom.com/ Uropi], [https://latinosineflexione.fandom.com/ Latino Sine Flexione] and [https://novlingue.fandom.com/ Novlingue] at Fandom (former Wikicities and Wikia). Every now and then, someone decides to revive some forgotten or near-dead auxlang, creates some content in it, then loses interest, and ultimately the project dies. Sooner or later, the work done by these people is going to disappear. Minor auxlangs like these are simply too small to successfully develop a separate Wikipedia project. And as we all know, feelings about constructed languages are not always favourable, to put it mildly. Besides, since all these auxlangs are essentially based on the same linguistic material and mutually intelligible, one might easily consider them dialects of the same language. Hence my question: would it be an idea to allow users of other Euroclones (excluding those that already have their own Wikipedia, of course) to create articles here? Every page could carry a template that says which language it is and places it in a special category. Some Wikipedias already work like that, for example the [[:lij:Categorîa:Pàgine de Wikipedia pe variànsa|Ligurian]] and [[:als:Kategorie:Wikipedia:Dialekt|Alemannic]] editions. It's even possible to have the same article in multiple languages. In my opinion, this solution would have several advantages: it could generate some extra activity over here, and in addition, it will put an end to fruitless deletion discussions and hopeless requests for new projects. It can easily be done, too: it's simply something the local community can decide, so no discussions and decisions from outside are needed. What do you think? Cheers, <span style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#00BFFF 0em 0em 0.8em,#EE82EE -0.4em -0.4em 0.9em,#1D6B00 0.3em 0.3em 0.5em;color:#FF0000">'''[[User:IJzeren Jan|IJzeren Jan]]'''⇒<span style="font-size: 15px;">[[User talk:IJzeren Jan|✉]]</span></span> 13:42, 2 june 2024 (UTC) This would be against the rules and makes no sense if these languages have no relation to Novial. The dialects of Novial itself like Novilingue can be present, but not other ones like Glossa or LsF. Wikipedia would not allow new small constructed languages. The Novial Wikipedia has more articles than many other Wikipedias and it has stabilized recently and Novial still has follower in contrast to the languages you mentioned. [[User:KardonaBoske|KardonaBoske]] ([[User talk:KardonaBoske|talk]]) 21:52, 2 june 2024 (UTC) :Well, it's not necessarily against the rules. When people ask for a Wikipedia in some dialect, they often the answer: go to language X and ask if it's okay to write in that dialect too. It's up to the local community, basically. And you probably know that Novial was partly based on (or at least inspired by) Idiom Neutral, and that Intal is partly based on Novial. It's one big family of interrelated language projects, really, although you are right that Glosa and LSF are more remote. But don't worry, it was just a suggestion and I'm certainly not going to push it. Cheers, <span style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#00BFFF 0em 0em 0.8em,#EE82EE -0.4em -0.4em 0.9em,#1D6B00 0.3em 0.3em 0.5em;color:#FF0000">'''[[User:IJzeren Jan|IJzeren Jan]]'''⇒<span style="font-size: 15px;">[[User talk:IJzeren Jan|✉]]</span></span> 22:46, 2 june 2024 (UTC) ::It doesn't go against the rules, but I don't know what to say. Nobody is going to write articles in '''Novlingue''' because the author has abandoned the project. I would keep the wiki in '''Glosa''' aside, as it is alive given the fact that Gary Miller (Tweety^0809) is editing it every single week. I don't think the author of '''Uropi''' would agree with this, he himself is quite busy, just [https://uropi.fandom.com/wiki/User:Chabi translating the grammar of Elefen sentence by sentence] and it is taking him a long time (I don't know who else speaks the language). The wiki of '''LsF''' was created to keep all articles found on the internet on one place but after gathering them, nobody has done anything. I cannot speak for Idiom Neutral and Intal, but the wiki in '''IN''' was edited by the same person that is now busy with the project in '''Neo''', so I wouldn't give him more jobs now. I don't now of anybody that speaks Intal, nor the wiki has been edited for a while. ::Those are my thoughts, but maybe others disagree. IMHO, I would suggest to focus on the wikis in Interslavic, Novial and Neo, and if anybody want to write in any of the abovementioned languages, he can go to those fandom wikis.

A euroclone wikipedia would be nice, but there are very few people speaking these languages (IN, LsF, etc) in the same space, so building any sort of community that could have the discussions required to make it a viable, sustained project seems difficult.

Thank you all for making dark mode available for everybody! For context, we would like to add that the Web team's work on dark mode has concluded. If on some wikis, the option is not yet available for logged-out users, this is likely because many pages do not yet display well in dark mode.

This year, Feminism and Folklore will focus on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics for the project, with a [[:c:Commons:Wiki Loves Folklore 2025|Wiki Loves Folklore]] gender gap focus and a folk culture theme on Wikipedia. You can help Wikipedia's coverage of folklore from your area by writing or improving articles about things like folk festivals, folk dances, folk music, women and queer folklore figures, folk game athletes, women in mythology, women warriors in folklore, witches and witch hunting, fairy tales, and more. Users can help create new articles, expand or translate from a generated list of suggested articles. Organisers are requested to work on the following action items to sign up their communities for the project: # Create a page for the contest on the local wiki. # Set up a campaign on '''CampWiz''' tool. # Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes. # Request local admins for site notice. # Link the local page and the CampWiz link on the [[:m:Feminism and Folklore 2025/Project Page|meta project page]]. This year, the Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced two new tools to enhance support for the campaign. These tools include the '''Article List Generator by Topic''' and '''CampWiz'''. The Article List Generator by Topic enables users to identify articles on the English Wikipedia that are not present in their native language Wikipedia. Users can customize their selection criteria, and the tool will present a table showcasing the missing articles along with suggested titles. Additionally, users have the option to download the list in both CSV and wikitable formats. Notably, the CampWiz tool will be employed for the project for the first time, empowering users to effectively host the project with a jury. Both tools are now available for use in the campaign.

A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.) was adopted by [[:m:Requests for comment/Activity levels of advanced administrative rights holders|global community consensus]] in 2013. According to this policy, the [[:m:stewards|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 [[:m:Admin activity review|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): # [[User:Wayne]] (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 [[:m:Stewards' noticeboard|stewards on Meta-Wiki]] so that we know not to proceed with the rights review on your wiki.

The [[mediawikiwiki:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Language and Product Localization|Language and Product Localization team]] has improved the [https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ContentTranslation&filter-type=automatic&filter-id=previous-edits&active-list=suggestions&from=en&to=es Content Translation dashboard] to create a consistent experience for all contributors using mobile and desktop devices. Below is a breakdown of important information about the improvement. '''What are the improvements?'''<br> The improved translation dashboard allows all logged-in users of the tool to enjoy a consistent experience regardless of their type of device. With a harmonized experience, logged-in desktop users can now access the capabilities shown in the image below. [[file:Content_Translation_new-dashboard.png|alt=|center|thumb|576x576px|Notice that in this screenshot, the new dashboard allows: Users to adjust suggestions with the "For you" and "...More" buttons to select general topics or community-created collections (like the example of Climate topic).

You can see how suggestions are provided in the new dashboard in two groups ("Create new pages" and "Expand with new sections")-one for each activity.]] [[File:Content_Translation_dashboard_on_desktop.png|alt=|center|thumb|577x577px|In the current dashboard, you will notice that you can't adjust suggestions to select topics or community-created collections. Also, you can't expand on existing articles by translating new sections.]] '''Does this improvement change the current accessibility of this tool in this Wikipedia?'''<br> The Content translation tool will still be in beta; therefore, only logged-in users who activated the tool from the [[en:wikipedia:Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|beta features]] will continue to have access to the content translation tool. Also, if the tool is only available to a specific [[en:Wikipedia:User access levels|user group]], it will remain that way. '''When do we plan to implement this improvement?'''<br> We will implement it on your Wikipedia and others by 24th, March 2025. '''What happens to the former dashboard after we implement the improvement?'''<br> You can still access it in the tool for some time. We will remove it from all Wikipedias by May 2025, as maintaining it will no longer be productive. '''Where can I test this improvement and report any issues before it is implemented in this Wiki?''' <br> You can try the improved capabilities in the test wiki using this link: https://test.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ContentTranslation&campaign=contributionsmenu&to=es&filter-type=automatic&filter-id=previous-edits&active-list=suggestions&from=en#/ .

Here are the key planned dates: * May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6] * June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates * July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5] * August 2025: Campaign period * August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period * October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates * Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]]. '''Call for Questions''' In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]] '''Election Volunteers''' Another way to be involved with the 2025 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.

Please help translate to your language.)'' The Campaigns Product Team is planning a global deployment of the '''[[:mw:Help:Extension:CampaignEvents|CampaignEvents extension]]''' to all Wikipedias, including this wiki, during the '''week of June 23rd'''. This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, WikiProjects, and other on-wiki collaborations - and to make these efforts more discoverable. The three main features of this extension are: * '''[[:m:Event_Center/Registration|Event Registration]]''': A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki. * '''[[:m:CampaignEvents/Collaboration_list|Collaboration List]]''': A global list of events and a local list of WikiProjects, accessible at '''[[:m:Special:AllEvents|Special:AllEvents]]'''. * '''[[:m:Campaigns/Foundation_Product_Team/Invitation_list|Invitation Lists]]''': A tool to help organizers find editors who might want to join, based on their past contributions. '''Note''': The extension comes with a new user right called '''"Event Organizer"''', which will be managed by administrators on this wiki. Organizer tools like Event Registration and Invitation Lists will only work if someone is granted this right. The Collaboration List is available to everyone immediately after deployment. The extension is already live on several wikis, including '''Meta, Wikidata, English Wikipedia''', and more ( [[m:CampaignEvents/Deployment_status#Current_Deployment_Status_for_CampaignEvents_extension| See the full deployment list]]) If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to share them on the [[m:Talk:CampaignEvents| extension talkpage]]. We’d love to hear from you before the rollout.
