Op syk nei Fryske wurden

Wat sisto yn it Frysk foar 'workshop' (wurkkolleezje/stúdzjedei) en 'seminar'? Ik hie al wol sjoen dat in seminarie / seminarium (NL) in seminaarje / seminarium is, en op in universiteit in seminary, mar 'seminar' bin ik noch net tsjinkommen. Ek foar 'workshop' hie ik noch gjin Frysk wurd fûn. Servien (oerlis) 3 des 2019, 21.50 (CET)

Soksoarte nije lienwurden út it Ingelsk litte we ek yn it Frysk (krekt as yn it Nederlânsk) gewoan yn it Ingelsk stean. Ieneach fan 'e Esk (oerlis) 3 des 2019, 21.58 (CET)

Doarpstabellen en kaartsjes

Goeiejûn, Ik bin in skoft net echt aktief west en woe eins wol wer wat oppakke. Ik fyn it altiten wol moai at siden oer lyksoartige ûnderwerpen wat deselde opmaak hawwe en deselde ynformaasje hawwe. Ik haw eartiids foar de plakken yn Fryslân de Ynfoboks Plak makke dy't noch wol op in protte plakken brûkt wurdt(sjoch Dolsterhuzen). Letter hat Swarte Kees de Doarpstabel makke, ik tink om plak te hawwen foar flaggen/wapens (sjoch Ie). Dêrby is doe wol ynformaasje fan in hiel soart plakken ferlern gean, lykas de eardere gritenijen en stimhawwende pleatsen... Dêr hie ik doedetiid wol aardich wurk fan hawn om dat bymekoar te sykjen.

In oare saak is de kaartjes fan de measte plakken yn Fryslân wêr't ik kaartjes fan makke haw mei de lokaasje fan de himrik fan de doarpen yn de gemeente (sjoch de eardere foarbylden fan de berjochten). Dizze kaartsjes binne net mear echt by de tiid omdat ik tink 75% fan de plakken no yn in gruttere gemeente leit. Fierder seach ik dat hjirboppe ynformaasje stiet oer Mapframe dat in ynteraktive keppeling mei OSM makket. Wy kinne no kaartsjes yntegrearre dy't keppele binne oan objekten yn OSM bygelyks in doarpsgrins (sjoch de test op myn meidogger side Mitselwier).

Nei oanleiding fan dit alles woe ik eins:

• Ynformaasje yn Doarpstabel en Plak byinoar foegje sa dat dit wer kompleet is. En at der gjin ynformaasje is dit automatysk oerslaan.
• Yn plak fan dy kaartsjes dy't ik 12 jier ferlyn makke haw no dit ynteraktieve kaartsje mei de grins fan it desbetreffende doarp derynsette.

Ik moat noch wol even útsykje hoe at dit krekt moat en dêrom even hjir dit berjocht. At der guon binne mei beswieren as goeie ideeën lit it dan even witte, dan kin ik dêr rekken mei hâlde.

En eltsenien alfêst in noflik 2020. Theun (oerlis) 31 des 2019, 19.17 (CET)

@Theun: Fannijs wolkom. Ik winskje jo ek lok en seine yn 2020. Drewes (oerlis) 31 des 2019, 19.39 (CET)

@Theun: En fan my ek folle lok en seine, Theun. Ynhâldlik haw ik neat op jo plannen tsjin, krektoarsom, ik tink dat it goed is dat der wer ris ien nei de gegevens oer de doarpen sjocht. Mar ik haw wol in pear op- en oanmerkings. Ik haw sels in pear jier lyn de side fan Wommels en Dronryp hielendal op 'e nij skreaun en doe haw ik dêr in oare ynfoboks yn set om't ik net mei de besteanden út 'e fuotten koe.

• Yn it foarste plak fyn ik it estetysk oansjen fan dy beide ynfoboksen dy't jo hjirboppe neame, net sa moai. As jo der dochs mei oan 'e gong geane, soene jo dan ek in ynfoboks meitsje kinne dy't der wat mear útsjocht as Berjocht:Universele ynfoboks stêd?, mar dan mei romte foar doarpsflaggen en -wapens, fansels.
• Fierders binne der mei jo Ynfoboks Plak beskate problemen dy't ik graach oplost hawwe wolle soe as jo hjir dochs wurk fan meitsje.

• As jo bgl. op 'e side fan Bakhuzen sjogge, kinne jo sjen dat Ynfoboks Plak dêr boppe-oan de rinnende tekst in oerstallige wytregel ynbringt. Ik haw alris besocht om dêrfan ôf te kommen, mar ik kin it euvel net fine.
• Ek kinne jo by Bakhuzen sjen dat net ynfolde lemma's yn 'e ynfoboks dochs sichtber binne: efter "Huzen" stiet dan "{{{huzen}}}". Dat soe ik ek graach oars hawwe wolle.

• Fierders is der yn dy ynfoboks gjin romte om it lân of de provinsje oan te jaan. Ik fyn dat wy der as ensyklopedy fan útgean moatte dat de lêzer 0,0 foarkennis hat, en dat wy him dus noch fertelle moatte dat Bakhuzen yn Nederlân en yn Fryslân leit.
• Ek soe ik graach lemma's as "hichte", "oerflak" en "befolkingstichtens" der yn hawwe wolle. Dy gegevens sille by de measte Fryske plakken wol net bekend wêze, mar ik fyn dat we se yn elts gefal yn 'e ynfoboks kwytkinne moatte as se beskikber wêze soene.
• Wat dy ynteraktive kaartsjes oangiet, dat is wol moai om 'e grinzen fan 'e himrik sjen te litten, mar it seit eins neat oer de geografyske posysje fan it plak yn Fryslân. No wit ik tafallich wêr't Mitselwier ûngefear leit, mar bgl. Nijewier, dat ik dêr oan 'e sydkant op itselde kaartsje lizzen sjoch, hie ik gjin idee fan hân wêr't ik dat sykje moast.

(Trouwens, en ik nim oan dat jo dit witte, mar foar it gefal dàt: de ynformaasje dy't jo sizze dat ferlern gien is, dy kin fansels noch altyd weromfûn wurde ûnder it tabblêd "Skiednis sjen litte". Dus dat hoege jo yn elts gefal net op 'e nij út te sykjen.) Ieneach fan 'e Esk (oerlis) 1 jan 2020, 22.17 (CET)

• oansjen sa as de ynfoboks stêd. Sil ik as basis brûke
• lân, provinsje sil ik ek derbysette.
• ekstra lemma's sil ik tafoegje. En derfoar soargje dat at dy gegevens net beskikber binne dat it dan fuortlitten wurdt.
• ynteraktieve kaartsjes. Ik nim oan dat jo sjoen hawwe dast it kaartsje oanklikke kinst en dan in grutter kaart krijst wêrop je yn- en útzoome kinne. Om oersjoch te krijen haw ik yn it foarbyld twa nivo's útzoomt. Miskien is dat better?

Ik sil fêst begjinne mei in foarstel Theun (oerlis) 2 jan 2020, 20.45 (CET)

@Theun: Dat sjocht der al hartstikkene moai út, Theun. En nee, dat fan dy ynteraktive kaartsjes hie ik net sjoen, omkoal dat ik bin. Ik leau wol dat it better is om wat mear oersjoch te hawwen, ja. Ieneach fan 'e Esk (oerlis) 3 jan 2020, 20.47 (CET)

@Ieneach fan 'e Esk:Ik haw it kaartsje no yn de Ynfoboks sitten. Wie noch in hiel útgesyk en haw ek leart dat der no ek Modules binne. Ik sil in oare kear wol even fierder mei de details. Hy jout no wol automatysk it gebied (at dat yn as OSM gebiet on it wikidata-item keppele is) en ek de lokaasje fan it sintrum (as de koordinaten oen it wikidata-item keppele is).

Dit selde soene we fansels ek oan de ynfoboks stêd as ynfoboks gebou ek tafoegje kinne. Mar goed sil earst dit fierder ôfmeitsje. Theun (oerlis) 5 jan 2020, 17.29 (CET)

@Theun: Knap dien. Jo witte hjir mear fan as ik, safolle is dúdlik. As ik myn miening sizze mei (sûnder altefolle te seuren), fyn ik dat it wapen no wol hiel oerhearskjend is. Ik wit net wat jo fine, mar ik soe de hichte fan it wapen leaver gelyk lûke mei de hichte fan 'e flagge, as dat mooglik is. Dan soe it wapen lytser wurde en minder oerhearskjend. En estetysk soe ik it ek moaier fine as it kaartsje fan flagge en wapen skieden waard troch in blau balkje. As we dêr as titel "Lokaasje" op sette, tsjinnet it ek noch in praktysk doel.

Additional interface for edit conflicts on talk pages

Sorry, for writing this text in English. If you could help to translate it, it would be appreciated.

You might know the new interface for edit conflicts (currently a beta feature). Now, Wikimedia Germany is designing an additional interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. This interface is shown to you when you write on a discussion page and another person writes a discussion post in the same line and saves it before you do. With this additional editing conflict interface you can adjust the order of the comments and edit your comment. We are inviting everyone to have a look at the planned feature. Let us know what you think on our central feedback page! -- For the Technical Wishes Team: Max Klemm (WMDE) 26 feb 2020, 15.14 (CET)

-uële

Ik sjoch dat op fy:wiki aardich faak de útgong -uële brûkt wurdt (kepp). Klopt dat wol? It FHW brûkt -uele en Dijkstra (1996) skriuwt oer de ë: De kombinaasje ue, dy't yn twa wurdlidden ferdield wurde kin, komt hast net foar. As er foarkomt, dan wurdt der gjin dielteken brûkt: yndividuen. Haw ik in staveringsherfoarming mist? Wutsje 19 mai 2020, 20.39 (CEST)

@Wutsje: Goeie. Jo hawwe neat mist, uele moat it wêze. Drewes (oerlis) 20 mai 2020, 12.09 (CEST)

Dan sil ik hjir ynkoarten mar ris oer gear. Wutsje 29 mai 2020, 19.54 (CEST)

@Wutsje: Ik hie hjir eefkes wat earder reägearje moatten, mar dit is by my lâns gien. No ja, noch gjin man oerboard. Mar ik bin it hjir net alhiel mei iens. Oars as by 'ae', 'ye' en 'uu' dy't yn it Frysk nea as ien klank foarkomme en dus net as 'aë', 'yë' en 'uü' skreaun wurde moatte, komt 'ue' wol as twalûd foar. Jo helje hjirboppe "Dijkstra (1996)" oan; ik nim oan dat jo dêrmei it boekje Stavering fan 'e Afûk bedoele. Ik lês dêr op side 45: "It dielteken (trema) wurdt allinne brûkt, wannear't sûnder dat dielteken útspraakbetizing te ferwachtsjen is en om oan te jaan, dat de twa opienfolgjende lûden, dy't tegearre ek in lang lûd of in twalûd foarmje kinne, net ta itselde wurdlid hearre. [...] Wannear't by frjemde wurden gjin útspraakbetizing te ferwachtsjen is, wurdt it dielteken meast weilitten: reaksje (of: reäksje); realisme (of: reälisme); alinea (of: alineä); kreatyf (of: kreätyf). It dielteken mei net weilitten wurde by: beämte (= amtner), ferlykje: beamte (= beammeguod). It is dêrom oan te rieden om yn gefal fan twivel altyd wol it dielteken te brûken. Dêrmei hoedzje jo josels foar misferstannen en útspraakflaters." Dus koartsein, better dermei ferlegen as derom ferlegen. It liket my dan ek dat de skriuwwize "yndividuën" wat foar hat boppe "yndividuen", en dat "yndividuën" yn elts gefal net fout is. Ieneach fan 'e Esk (oerlis) 29 mai 2020, 23.56 (CEST)

Ik lês sokke boarnen altyd mei in taalkundige fariant fan lex specialis derogat legi generali yn 'e holle. Dijkstra set yn paragraaf 9 de algemiene regels oer it dielteken útein en jout dan yn 9.1 o/m 9.2.4 spesjale regels foar (kombinaasjes mei) de ë, wêrûnder dus wat uë oanbelanget de regel dy't ik hjirboppe neamde, mei as foarbyld no krekt yndividuen. Ik kin my hast net yntinke dat by wurden as rituele of seksuele twifel oer de útspraak mooglik is (lyk sa't dat yn it Hollânsk ek net sa is).

Uteinlik is de fraach fansels: folgje we de boarnen? It foarbyld fan de "vice-presidint" liet al wol sjen, dat soks net altyd wiis is. Ik bin benijd hoe't oaren der oer tinke. Wutsje 30 mai 2020, 01.07 (CEST)

Tsja, Wutsje, in hiel soad, sanet de measte, fan 'e "uële"-s en "uën"-s yn 'e Wikipedy binne fan myn hân. Ik hie my Dijkstra syn útspraak goed ynprinte dat je yn gefal fan twifel altyd wol in dielteken brûke moatte. Ik bin no wend om dy foarmen te skriuwen. As jo dêrfan by guon of alle it dielteken fuorthelje, sil ik dêr net fuort lulk om wurde of sa, mar ik wit net oft ik wol ree bin om op te hâlden sokke wurden op dy wize te staverjen. "Uële" staverje as "uele" kin ik my noch wol yn fine; ik kin gjin wurden mei it twalûd 'ue' betinke dy't dêr op rime. By "yndividuën" is it oars, want je hawwe ek wurden as "fluen" en "fluensk", dêr't de letterkombinaasje 'uen' as twalûd foarkomt. Ieneach fan 'e Esk (oerlis) 30 mai 2020, 23.13 (CEST)

Ik doch fansels neat wêr't net eltsenien it oer iens is. Sjoch fierder de folgjende seksje. Wutsje 31 mai 2020, 01.30 (CEST)

-aë- en -yë-

Sjoch hjir en hjir. Itselde ferhaal as hjirboppe. Dijkstra (1996) skriuwt: "De ë kin foarkomme yn 'e lûdkombinaasjes: eë, ië en oë." De kombinaasjes aë, uë en yë foar't safier dy "yn twa wurdlidden ferdield wurde kin[ne]" en net yn eigennammen brûkt wurde binne dus mis. Drewes, Ieneach fan 'e Esk: iens? Wutsje 29 mai 2020, 19.54 (CEST)

@Wutsje: 'Aë' en 'yë' moatte 'ae' en 'ye' wurde, dat bin ik mei jo iens. Dy beide letterkombinaasjes komme yn it Frysk net foar as twalûd, dus kin der gjin ûnwissichheid oer útspraak ûntstean. Itselde jildt foar 'uü', yn bgl. "fakuüm" (moat "fakuum" wêze), want ek de letterkombinaasje 'uu' komt net as ien klank yn it Frysk foar. Wat 'uë' oanbelanget leit it neffens my oars, mar dat sil ik by de diskusje hjirboppe opskriuwe. Ieneach fan 'e Esk (oerlis) 29 mai 2020, 23.43 (CEST)

As it om it lân giet moat it dus ek Israel weẑe yn stee fan Israël, skriuwt Dijkstra letterlik yn 9.2.3. Dat wurdt noch in moai putsje. Wutsje 30 mai 2020, 01.07 (CEST)

Achte meidoggers. Wat 'fakuüm' oanbelanget, sjoch Taalweb. Drewes (oerlis) 30 mai 2020, 17.18 (CEST)

It wurdt der sa net ienfâldiger op: Dijkstra jout yn 9.5.2 no krekt fakuum en perpetuum mobile. "It Nederlânsk staveret de lange ú as uu, it Frysk staveret de lange ú altyd as ú. De stavering uu komt as lang ienlûd yn it Frysk net foar". Hoe dan ek, my giet it hjir no efkes om -aë- en -yë-. Wutsje 30 mai 2020, 17.54 (CEST)

Yndie, it liket wol in gekkehûs. Oer it lêste: sjoch Ieneach syn kommentaar. Drewes (oerlis) 30 mai 2020, 18.09 (CEST)

Oer 'aë' en 'yë' binne we it allegear iens, wol 'k leauwe. Wat we mei 'uü' oan moatte, wit ik no net mear. Ik fyn dat de Fryske Akademy der sa mar in nuver potsje fan makket. Ieneach fan 'e Esk (oerlis) 30 mai 2020, 23.15 (CEST)

Ja, ik bin sa súntsjesoan wol nijsgjirrich nei wat dy staveringslju by de Akademy no eins de hiele dei dogge. Dit liket nei fleanen, it is hast noch minder as de Taalunie yn it Hollânsk. Ik haw gjin muoite mei it idee fan in foarkarstavering, mar dy moat dan wol konsistint wêze, oars kinne jin yn feite like goed kieze foar de Reade bwarre-stavering. As ik yn Ljouwert wenne, fytste ik der ris hinne. Wutsje 31 mai 2020, 01.30 (CEST)

Ien stêd, twa steden?

Sa is it my net leard, it docht my Hollânsk oan. Neffens it FW, it FHW, de Foarkarswurdlist en de Staveringshifker is it meartal stêden (fgl. steden). Drewes, Ieneach fan 'e Esk en oare ynteressearden: wat tinke jimme? Wutsje 9 jun 2020, 04.16 (CEST)

Ik tocht dat it sels stedden wie, dat yn it meartal lange lûden ferkoarte waarden. Wêr ha jo dat steden lêsd? Steinbach (oerlis) 9 jun 2020, 09.39 (CEST)

Oké, stedden is dus gjin wurd. Mar ik tink dat wy dochs by steden wol fan in flater útgean kinne. Wat my oanbelanget kin men dat rêstich weihelje at men dat hjir earne fynt. Steinbach (oerlis) 9 jun 2020, 09.43 (CEST)

This issue of the Editing newsletter includes information the Talk pages project, an effort to help contributors communicate on wiki more easily.

• Reply tool: This is available as a Beta Feature at the four partner wikis (Arabic, Dutch, French, and Hungarian Wikipedias). The Beta Feature is called "Diskusje-ark". The Beta Feature will get new features soon. The new features include writing comments in a new visual editing mode and pinging other users by typing @. You can test the new features on the Beta Cluster now. Some other wikis will have a chance to try the Beta Feature in the coming months.
• New requirements for user signatures: Soon, users will not be able to save invalid custom signatures in Special:Preferences. This will reduce signature spoofing, prevent page corruption, and make new talk page tools more reliable. Most editors will not be affected.
• New discussion tool: The Editing team is beginning work on a simpler process for starting new discussions. You can see the initial design on the project page.
• Research on the use of talk pages: The Editing team worked with the Wikimedia research team to study how talk pages help editors improve articles. We learned that new editors who use talk pages make more edits to the main namespace than new editors who don't use talk pages.

Community open letter on renaming

Foar wa't it ynteressearet: ek al spilet de no al moannen duorjende diskusje oer de Rebranding Strategy har fier fan ús wei ôf, dy sil ek foar dizze wikipedy gefolgen hawwe. Wêr't it op dit stuit oer giet, is al net iens mear yn it foarste plak dat plan, mar de wize wêrop't de WMF it der oer de rêgen fan alle mienskippen hinne troch rame wol. Dêrom wol ik jimme efkes wize op it bestean fan dizze iepen brief oan de Wikimedia Foundation. Wutsje 28 jun 2020, 23.16 (CEST)

@Wutsje: Tankjewol dat jo ús hjir op wize, want dit wie hielendal by my lâns gien. Nei't ik in oere fergriemd haw mei my yn dit spul te ferdjipjen, begryp ik earlik sein noch altyd net wêr't sa'n omneaming goed foar is. Dit is wat je krije, bin ik bang, as in projekt lykas Wikimedia slûpenderwiis oernommen wurdt troch lju dy't nocht hawwe oan burokrasy. Soene jo, Wutsje, ris yn it koart útlizze kinne hokfoar gefolgen sa'n rebranding neffens jo foar de Fryske Wikipedy hawwe sil? Want dat is my noch net dúdlik. Ieneach fan 'e Esk (oerlis) 29 jun 2020, 00.39 (CEST)

It is gjin koart ferhaal wurden, mar ik sil besykje út te lizzen wat hjir neffens my yn de kearn fan 'e saak spilet: spul oer de fraach yn hoefier de ôfsûnderlike WMF-projekten autonoom binne c.q. wêze meie.

Alle WMF-projekten kinne yn essinsje allinnich bestean by de graasje fan twa dingen: de tiid dy't troch al dy frijwilligers fergees yn de ynhâld derfan stutsen wurdt, en it jild dat nedich is om de domeinnammen, de servers en de ynternetferbiningen yn 'e loft te hâlden. De WMF waard yn 2003 oprjochte en ferantwurdlik makke foar dy technyske saken en foaral foar it ynheljen fan donateursjild. Har rol wie stypjend bedoeld. Yn 2007, doe't ik mei in meidoggersnamme mei dizze noch altyd boeiende leafhawwerij oan 'e gong gie, wie de WMF noch mar in lytse klup: der waarden noch gjin 10 fte oan minsken foar harren wurk betelle, de rest wie frijwilliger (kepp). Dat is al oars wurden: yn 2018 wurken der by de WMF al mear as 300 minsken (kepp) en hjoed-de-dei sels mear as 350 (kepp, arg).

Wat it jild dat yn de WMF omgiet oanbelanget: der binne sifers oer de fiskale jierren 2004 o/m 2018 (kepp). Dêryn fine jin bygelyks, dat yn 2007 oan salaries and wages $415.006 útjûn waard (20% fan $2.077.840, de útjeften fan dat jier) en yn 2018 $38.597.407 (leafst 47,4% fan $81.442.265). Mar: de útjeften foar internet hosting giene yn deselde perioade fan $389.417 (18,7%) nei $2,342,130 (noch mar 2,9%). Ek al omdat de WMF-projekten yn dy tiid folle grutter wurden binne (2007, 2018, sjoch foar inkeld wikipedyen ek hjir), fernuveret it dan net dat Wikipedia by riten troch de poatsjes sakket (fb, fb) of in hege replag hat (fb; de replication lag seit wat oer de faasje wêrmei't wizigingen yn de databases ferwurke wurde: wat flugger, wat better; is de replag heech, dan moatte jin bgl. langer wachtsje foar't resinte bewurkingen yn de sykmasines opdûke). Jin tinke dan: dêr mei noch wol wat jild by, wikipedia.org heart ommers ta de bêst besjoene domeinnammen yn 'e wrâld (kepp) en soe mei sa'n slompe dollars yn 'e bûse domwei nea down wêze meie.

Mar, yndied, in organisaasje kin yn sa'n tiid nea sa grut en ryk wurde sûnder dat burokrasy de kop opstekt - en sa't we witte: dy wol harsels yn stân hâlde, ûnbewust, sûnder kweade wil en nei alle gedachten sels wol goederbêstens, se is gjin selsstannich tinkend organisme, mar dochs. Sa'n klup, dêr't in laach fan bûten yn tsjinst nommen managers en kommunikaasje-spesjalisten hieltyd mear te sizzen kriget allinnich al omdat dy geandewei grutter wurdt, betinkt dus putsjes en dan komme projekten op 'e lappen as in diskusje oer de strategy direction, strategy recommendations en dus ek dat rebranding project. It moat fansels allegear yn it Ingelsk, mar de taal dy't brûkt wurdt, wurdt stadichoan diziger en dêrop wize helpt gjin sprút (fb). De ôfstân tusken de frijwillige workers on the plantation en de WMF-bestjoersbubble wurdt, fansels sûnder opsetsin mar ûnûntkomber, grutter en grutter.

No hawwe we mei dy WMF wol it ien en oar meimakke. Op de Ingelske wikipedy kinne jin dêr wat oer lêze (kepp), mar der is mear bard. Trije foarbylden. Doe't er yn 2010 noch sels oan it roer siet, sloech it Wales yn 'e plasse en begûn er op Wikimedia Commons ynienen tsjin alle belied yn en sûnder konsensus of sels mar diskusje in bult plaatsjes fuort te donderjen dy't er pornografysk fûn, wêrûnder ferneamde ôfbyldingen fan wurk fan keunstners as Klimt. Dêr kaam doe fuortendaliks in dúdlike korreksje fan de WMF-mienskip op (kepp; sels wie ik doe sa poerrazend dat ik my ferlege haw ta dizze reaksje) en dêrnei wie it ek wol sa goed as dien mei de formele macht fan de man. Yn 2014 spile de superprotect-affêre. By de WMF hie immen betocht dat it moai wêze soe en krij de macht om út San Fransisco wei op elk projekt siden sa te skoatteljen, dat sels behearders dêr neat mear oan dwaan kinne. Doe't dy mooglikheid noch deselde dei op 'e Dútske wikipedy brûkt waard om harren de MediaViewer troch de strôte te triuwen, stuts dêr in stoarm op dy't al rillegau oersloech nei oare projekten. Uteinlik moast de WMF wol belies jaan. Ferline jier wie der dan noch de sabeare Fram ban: de WMF ornearre dat it nedich wie om mei in office action yn te gripen yn de autonomy fan en:wiki. Dêr kaam úteinlik dit fan. Dat is noch net lang lyn en dy saak heucht noch hiel wat minsken.

Sa kom ik dan by dat rebranding project. De WMF seach ris wat om har hinne (kepp) en krige doe it idee om alle WMF-projekten ûnder de plu fan de namme Wikipedia te bringen, want dat soe foar fan alles better wêze, sjoch hjir. Dêr kinne jin ynhâldlik fansels fan alles fan tinke, yn it foarste plak al fan de ûnderlizzende premisses, mar de saak is hoe dan ek al nuver oanpakt. Der waard û.o. in ferneamd en nei alle gedachten prizich ynternasjonaal brand design office ynskeakele, Snøhetta (sjoch ek hjir, arg) en der binne oeral wei op kosten fan de WMF minsken nei Oslo en Bangalore flein om it deroer te hawwen. Doe't it beslút oer dy rebranding al nommen wie en oan de mienskippen foarlein waard, wie dat sûnder de opsje om nee te sizzen en boppedat mei nuvere arguminten. De slimste wie wol de wize fan berekkenjen fan de stipe foar harren fynst: yn in earder stadium hawwe 9000 minsken de side oer dit plan besjoen, dêrfan hawwe 57 beswier makke, dus fan de minsken dy't ynformearre binne, is mar 0,6% tsjin (kepp). As jin soks lêze, witte je dat je foar de kroade riden wurde. Mear minsken tochten der sa oer (kepp) en wat letter kaam in soarte fan rektifikaasje, mar de opstân dy't doe al fan ûnderop útbrutsen wie (sjoch dizze RfC, de grutste en langst rinnende út de skiednis fan de WMF) giet noch hieltyd troch en de WMF hat dêr noch gjin antwurd op.

Dy iepen brief oan de WMF, by myn witten de twadde yn har bestean, moat yn dat ramt sjoen wurde. De minsken en chapters dy't al tekene hawwe en dy't tegearre letterlik tûzenen jierren oan wiki-ûnderfining represintearre, meitsje harren allegearre soargen oer de wize wêrmei't de WMF mei dizze saak omgiet: oant no ta sûnder har wurklik wat oan te lûken fan al dy mienskippen. Yntusken wurdt der no ek praat fan in Universal Code of Conduct, wêrmei't de WMF as se dat nedich fynt ek al wer op projekten yngripe kinne wol. Ik wol net sizze dat soks altyd in min idee is, foar projekten sûnder behearders of wêr't tusken behearders slaande deilis is kin dat faaks wol wat wêze (al bestiet foar sokke situaasjes op Meta al jierren de side Requests for comment), mar sjoen it ferline en sûnt by de WMF mear en mear managers en p.r.-minsken ynfloed hawwe, is it dreech en wurdt nettsjinsteande it AGF-begjinsel út en troch dochs net wat erchtinkend as it om guon fan har nije plannen giet.

Oer de fraach hokker gefolgen dy rebranding foar dizze wikipedy hat: as dy trochgiet, sil it plaatsje rjochtsûnder eltse side wol ferfongen wurde troch ien mei de tekst a WIKIPEDIA project. Hjir is dat net sa slim, dit ís ommers ek in wikipedy, mar op al dy hûnderten WMF-projekten dy't no krekt gjín wikipedy binne, komt nei alle gedachten as it oan de WMF leit ek sa'n nije ôfbylding te stean en dan wurdt it - fyn ik - al wat in tizeboel. Ik hoopje hjirbopppe lykwols dúdlik makke te hawwen, dat it probleem foaral sit yn de tinkwrâld fan guon WMF-minsken en dat de fraach dêrom eins wêze moat: wat wol dy WMF no mei ús c.q. hoe sille wy, de frijwilligers sûnder wa't dy hiele WMF net bestean soe, mar dy't sûnder dy WMF likemin harren kennis mei eltsenien diele kinne, as it om dy tinkwrâld giet mei har oan? Wutsje 2 jul 2020, 17.54 (CEST)

Oanfolling: oant 7 july kinne jo de WMF hjir fertelle wat jo fan dy rebranding fine. De status quo is gjin opsje. Wutsje 2 jul 2020, 19.58 (CEST)

@Wutsje: Tankjewol foar jo tige yngeande beskriuwing fan 'e sitewaasje. Dêr hat wol in pear oerkes wurk yn sitten, wol ik wedzje. Ik haw it hiele epistel lêzen en hjir en dêr bin ik fia ien fan 'e links yn in soarte fan kninehoale rûgele as wie 'k Alice yn Wûnderlân. Dit is no krekt wêrom't ik my oer it algemien sa min mooglik besykje te bemuoien mei Wikimedia bûten de Fryske Wikipedy. It skeelt jin in bulte argewaasje. Ik besef dat soks strúsfûgelpolityk is, mar je leve der wol langer troch. Ynhâldlik diel ik jo noed oer wêr't it hinne giet mei Wikimedia. Ik haw it iepen brief en RfC ûndertekene, for all the good it will do. Ieneach fan 'e Esk (oerlis) 3 jul 2020, 00.02 (CEST)

Ik haw yndied wol efkes mei dat ferhaal dwaande west, mar dochs haw ik krekt twa dingen ferbetterje moatten: de Superprotect-affêre begûn nei spul oer of de MediaViewer op de:wiki opt out of opt in wurde moast en die saak waard oanlieding foar de earste iepen brief oan de WMF (dy't ik doe sels, straal fergetten, ek ûndertekene haw).

Announcing a new wiki project! Welcome, Abstract Wikipedia

Hi all,

It is my honor to introduce Abstract Wikipedia, a new project that has been unanimously approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. Abstract Wikipedia proposes a new way to generate baseline encyclopedic content in a multilingual fashion, allowing more contributors and more readers to share more knowledge in more languages. It is an approach that aims to make cross-lingual cooperation easier on our projects, increase the sustainability of our movement through expanding access to participation, improve the user experience for readers of all languages, and innovate in free knowledge by connecting some of the strengths of our movement to create something new.

This is our first new project in over seven years. Abstract Wikipedia was submitted as a project proposal by Denny Vrandečić in May 2020 after years of preparation and research, leading to a detailed plan and lively discussions in the Wikimedia communities. We know that the energy and the creativity of the community often runs up against language barriers, and information that is available in one language may not make it to other language Wikipedias. Abstract Wikipedia intends to look and feel like a Wikipedia, but build on the powerful, language-independent conceptual models of Wikidata, with the goal of letting volunteers create and maintain Wikipedia articles across our polyglot Wikimedia world.

The project will allow volunteers to assemble the fundamentals of an article using words and entities from Wikidata. Because Wikidata uses conceptual models that are meant to be universal across languages, it should be possible to use and extend these building blocks of knowledge to create models for articles that also have universal value. Using code, volunteers will be able to translate these abstract “articles” into their own languages. If successful, this could eventually allow everyone to read about any topic in Wikidata in their own language.

As you can imagine, this work will require a lot of software development, and a lot of cooperation among Wikimedians. In order to make this effort possible, Denny will join the Foundation as a staff member in July and lead this initiative. You may know Denny as the creator of Wikidata, a long-time community member, a former staff member at Wikimedia Deutschland, and a former Trustee at the Wikimedia Foundation . We are very excited that Denny will bring his skills and expertise to work on this project alongside the Foundation’s product, technology, and community liaison teams.

It is important to acknowledge that this is an experimental project, and that every Wikipedia community has different needs. This project may offer some communities great advantages. Other communities may engage less. Every language Wikipedia community will be free to choose and moderate whether or how they would use content from this project.

We are excited that this new wiki-project has the possibility to advance knowledge equity through increased access to knowledge. It also invites us to consider and engage with critical questions about how and by whom knowledge is constructed. We look forward to working in cooperation with the communities to think through these important questions.

There is much to do as we begin designing a plan for Abstract Wikipedia in close collaboration with our communities. I encourage you to get involved by going to the project page and joining the new mailing list . We recognize that Abstract Wikipedia is ambitious, but we also recognize its potential. We invite you all to join us on a new, unexplored path.

Yours,

Katherine Maher (Executive Director, Wikimedia Foundation)

Minsken, lit dit plan dochs efkes ta jimme trochkringe, want al siz ik net dat it sa is, dit kin slim misgean. Sjoch ek hjir. Wutsje 13 jul 2020, 20.24 (CEST)

Haadside

As ik as ip-er ús Haadside besjoch, stiet dêr op dit stuit dat it hjoed 11 july is, de side fan de wike en it plaatsje fan de wike fan ferline wike en Hjoed, 11 july, yn de skiednis (kepp). Dat klopt fansels net. Ieneach, dit liket jo ôfdieling te wêzen. Wat giet hjir mis? Wutsje 14 jul 2020, 20.35 (CEST)

@Wutsje: Goeie. Wat giet dêr mis? freegje jo. Koart antwurd: wit ik net. Ik haw wol in pear fermoedens. (Eefkes tuskentroch: ik doch de siden fan 'e wike, mar fan 'e rest fan 'e haadside bleau ik safolle mooglik ôf om't ik der eins gjin ferstân fan haw. Ein desimber set ik it âlde jier even hânmjittich oer nei it nije -- en ik haw ergens opskreaun hoe't dat ek al wer moat -- mar dat is it dan ek.) Mei 'as ip-er' bedoele jo, tink, as net-ynlogde? Dat haw ik yndie ek wolris (en dat is al jierren sa), dat er de âlde foarside fan ferline wike noch sjen lit. Op dit stuit is dat trouwens (ik haw it even checkt yn in oare browser) by my net sa. Ik tink dat it net sasear mei de webside as wol mei de browser cache fan jins kompjûter te krijen hat, dat dêr, sels as je dy leegje (want dat makket by my gjin merkber ferskil) dochs in al ynladen ferzje fan 'e webside yn hingjen bliuwt. En wat ik jo no ferteld haw is mei-iens ek alles wat ik hjirfan wit. Ieneach fan 'e Esk (oerlis) 14 jul 2020, 20.50 (CEST)

Soe it mei skrikkeldagen te krijen hawwe en koade dy't yn jierren net oanpast is? In cacheprobleem liket it my yn elts gefal net, ek yn bgl. Lynx bart dit. Wutsje 14 jul 2020, 20.58 (CEST)

Sjoch, sa lang spilet dit al: Meidogger_oerlis:Drewes/argyf2012-2015#Ferkearde Haadside, en de oare helte fan 'e diskusje: Meidogger_oerlis:Ieneach_fan_'e_Esk/argyf1#Ferkearde_haadside. Dat wie septimber 2013. Ik haw der fierders gjin flau benul oer. Oars moatte jo ris by Kening Aldgilles of Aliter te rie gean. Dy hawwe der faaks mear kijk op. Ieneach fan 'e Esk (oerlis) 14 jul 2020, 21.07 (CEST)

Hm. Dat sterket my wol wer yn myn oertsjûging dat ik eins noch nea in orizjinele tinze hân haw, mar hoe dan ek, it stiet sleau en it moat al oars, fyn ik, dy side is dochs ús foardoar. Hjirby ping ik Kening Aldgilles en Aliter, maar faaks is der op 'e Hollânske wiki ek wol immen mei ferstân fan koade dy't der wat op wit. Wutsje 14 jul 2020, 21.30 (CEST)

@Wutsje: Goeie. Hoe komt it hjirmei, Wutsje? Ik leau net dat Kening Aldgilles en Aliter thús jouwe. Doe't jo it oan 'e oarder stelden hie ik eefkes gjin lêst fan dit... ferskynsel sil 'k it mar neame, mar sûnt haw ik it alwer twaris ferskate dagen hân. As jo op nl: immen kenne dy't hjir ferstân fan hat, dan is dat miskien ús bêste kâns om hjir wat oan te dwaan. Ik sil ek nochris eefkes in berjochtsje op 'e oerlissiden fan Kening Aldgilles en Aliter pleatse. No't ik wit dat it net oan 'e browser cache fan myn kompjûter leit, bin ik it mei jo iens dat it oplost wurde moat. Ieneach fan 'e Esk (oerlis) 24 aug 2020, 12.13 (CEST)

Goeie Ieneach, ik ken yndied wol immen op nl:wiki dy't nei alle gedachten dit wol foar ús oplosse kin, dy sil ik hjoed ris freegje. Wutsje 24 aug 2020, 15.49 (CEST)

Oanfolling: sjoch hjir. Wutsje 24 aug 2020, 19.40 (CEST)

Goeiedei, it probleem is my bekend. Faaks soe in 'refresh' helpe kinne, want de kompjûter of browser hat noch in âldere datum yn syn ûnthâld. Ik tink dat de koade yn de Wiky goed stiet, it probleem soe him dan yn de browser of lokale data fan de kompjûter sitte kinne. Oft wy fanút de Wiky in meganisme betinke kinne dy't de datum fan dyn browser oanpast...? Miskien binne der noch oare minsken mei doel dêroer. --Kening Aldgilles (oerlis) 8 okt 2020, 07.24 (CEST)

Technical Wishes: FileExporter and FileImporter become default features on all Wikis

The FileExporter and FileImporter will become a default features on all wikis until August 7, 2020. They are planned to help you to move files from your local wiki to Wikimedia Commons easier while keeping all original file information (Description, Source, Date, Author, View History) intact. Additionally, the move is documented in the files view history. How does it work?

Step 1: If you are an auto-confirmed user, you will see a link "Move file to Wikimedia Commons" on the local file page.

Step 2: When you click on this link, the FileImporter checks if the file can in fact be moved to Wikimedia Commons. These checks are performed based on the wiki's configuration file which is created and maintained by each local wiki community.

Step 3: If the file is compatible with Wikimedia Commons, you will be taken to an import page, at which you can update or add information regarding the file, such as the description. You can also add the 'Now Commons' template to the file on the local wiki by clicking the corresponding check box in the import form. Admins can delete the file from the local wiki by enabling the corresponding checkbox. By clicking on the 'Import' button at the end of the page, the file is imported to Wikimedia Commons.

If you want to know more about the FileImporter extension or the Technical Wishes Project, follow the links. --For the Technical Wishes Team:

Links nei trochferwiissiden/data

In tiid ferlyn haw ik hjir dwaande west om in tal ferwizings nei trochferwiissiden 'op te lossen' lykas hjirre. It is foar lêzers/besikers ommers ferfelend om op in wurd te klikken en dan op in trochferwiisside te bedarjen. Troch oanpassings fan myn Wikipedia-Ynstellings hjirre ljochtsje sokke trochferwizings op myn skerm grien op, ik hoech der dus net om te sykjen.(it wurker op nl en op fy) Der besteane op de Fryske Wikipedy no noch in hiele protte fan sokke trochferwizings. No bestiet op de Nederlânske Wikipedia in side dêr't al sokke data troch in bot op in listke setten wurde: Sjoch hjirre. Ik los dêr de lêste tiid in soad fan sokke links op.

Omt soks my foar de Fryske Wikipedy wol gaadlik talike ha'k yn july de behearder fan dy bot Edoderoo frege oft it ek te dwaan wie om soks foar de Fryske Wikipedy te meitsjen. Sjoch hjirre op syn oerlisside. (Sels bin ik net sa 'bot' thús yn hoe't soks wurket). De man hat der nei sjoen en hat de bot wat oanpast, dat dy soe hjir ek oan it wurk kinne. Syn fraach is: Wêr moat ik dy side delsette? Tulp8 (oerlis) 27 sep 2020, 09.13 (CEST)

@Tulp8: Goeie. Ja, liket my wol in goed plan. Ik haw hjir Wikipedy:Links nei betsjuttingssiden/data in side oanmakke. Ik haw der even wat del skreaun om 'e side oan te meitsjen, mar dy tekst kin fansels fuort. Eefkes oer de 'nomenklatuer': jo hawwe it oer trochferwiissiden. Ik haw altyd miend dat dat binne wat yn it Ingelsk redirects neamd wurde. Wat jo trochferwiissiden neame, haw ik altyd betsjuttingssiden neamd. No kin ik mis wêze, want sasear haw ik my nea yn it Wikipedysk jargon ynlibbe, mar ik haw foarearst de foar my bekende oantsjutting dochs mar brûkt.

Hello. Apologies if you are not reading this message in your native language. Please help translate to your language.

Today the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees starts two calls for feedback. One is about changes to the Bylaws mainly to increase the Board size from 10 to 16 members. The other one is about a trustee candidate rubric to introduce new, more effective ways to evaluate new Board candidates. The Board welcomes your comments through 26 October. For more details, check the full announcement.

Thank you! Qgil-WMF (talk) 7 okt 2020, 19.17 (CEST)

Important: maintenance operation on October 27

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.

They will switch all traffic back to the primary data center on Tuesday, October 27 2020.

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, October 27. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (14:00 WET, 15:00 CET, 10:00 EDT, 19:30 IST, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 03:00 NZDT on Wednesday October 28).
• 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 October 26, 2020. 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.

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!

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, Wikipedy 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) 18 feb 2021, 15.12 (CET)

Wikiwurdboek

Goeie lju, ik haw in freachke. Binne der hjor noch aktive meidoggers dy't ek beheardersstatus op it Fryske Wikiwurdboek hawwe? Sa ja, soenen dy dan ris omsjen kinne nei de siden wikt:angelje en wikt:ferearle? Dy binne in dei of wat lyn oanmakke as Ingelsktalige yngongen en moatte dus wiske wurde, of oerset. It earste kin ik net (gjin behearder) en it twadde doar ik net (Frysk te min).
Fierders soe ik it projekt graach wat aktiver sjen, mar dat komt wol wêr as immen it ôm tiid hat. Steinbach (oerlis) 8 mrt 2021, 20.57 (CET)
