Karibu!

Ukitaka msaada wa kusanifisha makala, angalia hapa.

Makala nzuri ionekane kama makala hizi: lugha, Eritrea

Ukifikiri kwamba hutaweza kuandika moja kwa moja makala ndefu na nzuri kama hiyo, uanzishe makala ndogo tu (kama hii: hesabu), na baadaye watu wengine (au wewe mwenyewe) wataweza kuikuza na kuiboresha.

Bado kuna makala kuu ambazo zimeunganishwa na ukurasa wa mwanzo, lakini hazijaandikwa. Ni muhimu tuziandike kwanza kurasa hizo:

Ujenzi, Teknolojia, Dini

Kuna makala chache ambazo zimeandikwa kwa lugha ya kidini. Sisi tunataka kuandika kamusi elezo, na kwa hiyo ni lazima makala ziandikwe kwa lugha ya kisayansi, kwa sababu watu hawawezi kukubaliana kuhusu mambo ya dini. Kwa hiyo tubadilishe makala hizo zisiwe kwa lugha ya kidini:

Sheria

Kuna makala chache ambazo zimeandikwa kwa rai ya watu wachache. Lakini kwa kamusi elezo ni lazima kwamba rai za watu wote zivumiliwe. Kwa hiyo ni lazima kubadilisha makala hii:

Dini, Uislamu, Hadithi za Mtume Muhammad

(makala hizi tatu zimeandikwa kwa rai ya waislamu tu, lakini hiyo siyo sawa. Angalia makala kwa Kiingereza (Religion na Islam) ili kujifunza makala kama hizo ziandikwe namna gani, ili kuvumilia maoni ya watu wote.)

---

Ili kuboresha tovuti hiyo, ni lazima tutafsiri sehemu zote ambazo bado ni kwa Kiingereza. Siku hizi, Marcos anafanya kazi hiyo. Ukitaka kumsaidia, au ukiona makosa katika tafsiri yake, umwarifu hapa.

Announcing Wikipedia 1.19 beta

Wikimedia Foundation is getting ready to push out 1.19 to all the WMF-hosted wikis. As we finish wrapping up our code review, you can test the new version right now on beta.wmflabs.org. For more information, please read the release notes or the start of the final announcement.

The following are the areas that you will probably be most interested in:

• Faster loading of javascript files makes dependency tracking more important.
• New common*.css files usable by skins instead of having to copy piles of generic styles from MonoBook or Vector's css.
• The default user signature now contains a talk link in addition to the user link.
• Searching blocked usernames in block log is now clearer.
• Better timezone recognition in user preferences.
• Improved diff readability for colorblind people.
• The interwiki links table can now be accessed also when the interwiki cache is used (used in the API and the Interwiki extension).
• More gender support (for instance in logs and user lists).
• Language converter improved, e.g. it now works depending on the page content language.
• Time and number-formatting magic words also now depend on the page content language.
• Bidirectional support further improved after 1.18.

Report any problems on the labs beta wiki and we'll work to address them before they software is released to the production wikis.

Note that this cluster does have SUL but it is not integrated with SUL in production, so you'll need to create another account. You should avoid using the same password as you use here. — Global message delivery 16:35, 15 Januari 2012 (UTC)

WikiWomenCamp, Argentina, May 2012

Hi, I am using Google Translator. I can not speak Swahili. I am helping to organise a conference for women involved with Wikimedia Foundation projects. (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomenCamp) If possible, would like a woman from Kenya to attend. It will be an opportunity to gain leadership skills, and to interact with women from other countries who are trying to help improve Wikimedia in their own countries. In preparation for this conference, we are trying to benchmark the participation rates of women on Wikimedia projects, the places women participate and content related to women from specific countries. We have created a page about Kenya at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomenCamp/FAQ/Perspectives/Kenya. It would be fantastic if people from Kenya could help improve this page, or create a version that is written in Swahili. Thank you for your help and patience. --22Kartika (majadiliano) 01:09, 11 Februari 2012 (UTC)

(http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomenCamp) Kama inawezekana, napenda mwanamke kutoka Kenya kuhudhuria. Itakuwa ni fursa ya kupata ujuzi wa uongozi, na kuingiliana na wanawake kutoka nchi nyingine ambao ni kujaribu kusaidia kuboresha Wikimedia katika nchi zao. Katika maandalizi ya mkutano huu, sisi ni kujaribu benchmark viwango vya ushiriki wa wanawake katika miradi ya Wikimedia, wanawake sehemu kushiriki na maudhui kuhusiana na wanawake kutoka nchi maalum. Sisi tumemuumba ukurasa kuhusu Kenya katika http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiWomenCamp/FAQ/Perspectives/Kenya. Itakuwa ajabu kama watu kutoka Kenya inaweza kusaidia kuboresha ukurasa huu, au kuunda toleo yaliyoandikwa katika lugha ya Kiswahili.

Update on IPv6

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it, as well as the full version of this announcement on Meta)

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to do limited testing of IPv6 on June 2-3. If there are not too many problems, we may fully enable IPv6 on World IPv6 day (June 6), and keep it enabled.

What this means for your project:

• At least on June 2-3, 2012, you may see a small number of edits from IPv6 addresses, which are in the form "2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334". See e.g. w:en:IPv6 address. These addresses should behave like any other IP address: You can leave messages on their talk pages; you can track their contributions; you can block them. (See the full version of this announcement for notes on range blocks.)

• In the mid term, some user scripts and tools will need to be adapted for IPv6.

• We suspect that IPv6 usage is going to be very low initially, meaning that abuse should be manageable, and we will assist in the monitoring of the situation.

Read the full version of this announcement on how to test the behavior of IPv6 with various tools and how to leave bug reports, and to find a fuller analysis of the implications of the IPv6 migration.

2011 Picture of the Year competition

македонски • norsk • polski

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2011 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We are interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year 2011. Any user registered at Commons or a Wikimedia wiki SUL-related to Commons with more than 75 edits before 1 April 2012 (UTC) is welcome to vote and, of course everyone is welcome to view!

Detailed information about the contest can be found at the introductory page.

About 600 of the best of Wikimedia Common's photos, animations, movies and graphics were chosen –by the international Wikimedia Commons community– out of 12 million files during 2011 and are now called Featured Pictures.

From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons Features Pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories.

We regret that you receive this message in English; we intended to use banners to notify you in your native language but there was both, human and technical resistance.

See you on Commons! --Picture of the Year 2011 Committee 18:41, 5 Juni 2012 (UTC)

Help decide about more than $10 million of Wikimedia donations in the coming year

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it)

Hi,

As many of you are aware, the Wikimedia Board of Trustees recently initiated important changes in the way that money is being distributed within the Wikimedia movement. As part of this, a new community-led "Funds Dissemination Committee" (FDC) is currently being set up. Already in 2012-13, its recommendations will guide the decisions about the distribution of over 10 million US dollars among the Foundation, chapters and other eligible entities.

Now, seven capable, knowledgeable and trustworthy community members are sought to volunteer on the initial Funds Dissemination Committee. It is expected to take up its work in September. In addition, a community member is sought to be the Ombudsperson for the FDC process. If you are interested in joining the committee, read the call for volunteers. Nominations are planned to close on August 15.

Wikidata is getting close to a first roll-out

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.)

As some of you might already have heard Wikimedia Deutschland is working on a new Wikimedia project. It is called m:Wikidata. The goal of Wikidata is to become a central data repository for the Wikipedias, its sister projects and the world. In the future it will hold data like the number of inhabitants of a country, the date of birth of a famous person or the length of a river. These can then be used in all Wikimedia projects and outside of them.

The project is divided into three phases and "we are getting close to roll-out the first phase". The phases are:

1. language links in the Wikipedias (making it possible to store the links between the language editions of an article just once in Wikidata instead of in each linked article)
2. infoboxes (making it possible to store the data that is currently in infoboxes in one central place and share the data)
3. lists (making it possible to create lists and similar things based on queries to Wikidata so they update automatically when new data is added or modified)

It'd be great if you could join us, test the demo version, provide feedback and take part in the development of Wikidata. You can find all the relevant information including an FAQ and sign-up links for our on-wiki newsletter on the Wikidata page on Meta.

For further discussions please use this talk page (if you are uncomfortable writing in English you can also write in your native language there) or point me to the place where your discussion is happening so I can answer there.

Fundraising localization: volunteers from outside the USA needed

Please translate for your local community

Hello All,

The Wikimedia Foundation's Fundraising team have begun our 'User Experience' project, with the goal of understanding the donation experience in different countries outside the USA and enhancing the localization of our donation pages. I am searching for volunteers to spend 30 minutes on a Skype chat with me, reviewing their own country's donation pages. It will be done on a 'usability' format (I will ask you to read the text and go through the donation flow) and will be asking your feedback in the meanwhile.

The only pre-requisite is for the volunteer to actually live in the country and to have access to at least one donation method that we offer for that country (mainly credit/debit card, but also real-time banking like IDEAL, E-wallets, etc...) so we can do a live test and see if the donation goes through. All volunteers will be reimbursed of the donations that eventually succeed (and they will be low amounts, like 1-2 dollars)

By helping us you are actually helping thousands of people to support our mission of free knowledge across the world. Please sing up and help us with our 'User Experience' project! :) If you are interested (or know of anyone who could be) please email ppena@wikimedia.org. All countries needed (excepting USA)!

Thanks!

Administrative divisions of Botswana

Hi there, I'm Sannita and I'm writing you on behalf of the WikiAfrica team. Sorry if I use English, but I'm not so fluent in Swahili, and I don't want to create any misunderstanding. :)

We are currently in possession of the updated datas about the administrative divisions of Botswana (up to villages) and we'd like to upload them on sw.wp too. Many data are about divisions or villages that have no article on this version, so what we need is a bot owner that can help us in programming a script and create these articles, if needed.

We already uploaded these data on Italian, Swedish, and Dutch Wikipedia, but now we'd like to focus on languages mainly spoken in Africa.

If you are interested in it or you need any clarification, please feel free to contact me on my Italian talk page or in this discussion. Thanks. --Sannita - not just another it.wiki sysop 17:34, 19 Novemba 2012 (UTC)

Pendekezo: Utaratibu wa kuanzisha makala

Wapendwa napenda kupendekeza utaratibu wa kuanzisha makala mapya. 1. Naomba tuwasiliane na wakabidhi wa ngazi ya juu ili waweke wikipedia hii kwenye hali "makala mapya yanaweza kuanzishwa na watumiaji waliojiandikisha pekee". (article creation disabled for unregistered users). 2. Napendekeza pia hatua ya pili kuhusu mabadiliko ya makala eti waruhusiwe wachangiaji waliojiandikisha; asiyejiandikisha asiwe na nafasi ya kuhariri.

Siku za nyuma nimeanza tena kupitapita kurasa, kukaribisha watumiaji wapya na kuchungulia makala mapya. Nimeona mara kwa mara ya kwamba makala yasiyofaa kuwepo yanaanzishwa na watumiaji wasiojiandikisha. Hapa hakuna nafasi ya kuwashauri naweza kufuta tu. Naona wikipedia nyingine zilihamia utaratibu kuruhusu kuhariri kwa watu waliojiandikisha tu. Tuliwahi kujadili jambo hili miaka kadhaa iliyopita wakati ule tuliambiwa haitakiwi katika wikipedia. Lakini inaonekana utaratibu umebadilishwa basi tufaidie nasisi!. Naomba wakabidhi wenzangu tukubaliane. Kipala (majadiliano) 14:48, 26 Novemba 2012 (UTC)

Kama na wikipedia nyingine hufanya hivyo siku hizi (maana kuwaruhusu watumiaji waliojiandikisha tu kuanzisha makala), nami naunga mkono. Asante, Mzee Kipala, kutujulisha kuhusu jambo hilo la umuhimu! Wasalaam, --Baba Tabita (majadiliano) 19:42, 26 Novemba 2012 (UTC)

Na mimi pia ninaunga mkono pendekezo hili. Lloffiwr (majadiliano) 22:24, 26 Novemba 2012 (UTC)

Kumradhi kwa kuchelewa kujibu. Ndugu, sijawahi kukubaliana kabisa na mtu anayeanzisha makala bila kujiandikisha. Ninakupa 100+100 asilimia ya kuondosha utaratibu huo. Je, unafahamu namna ya kuzuia uhariri bila majina?--_{Mwanaharakati}^Longa 16:14, 27 Novemba 2012 (UTC)

Sijui. Nimepeleka ombi Meta, kupitia SJ na JonSoby, halafu kwenye ukurasa wa requests. tuone. Kama unamjua mtu meta- na umwulize wewe nanma gani. Kipala (majadiliano) 18:13, 27 Novemba 2012 (UTC)

Mzee Kipala na marafiki wengine. Kwa upande mmoja nakubali na Kipala. Michango ya watu wasiojiandikisha ina ubora mbaya mara nyingi. Wanatupatia kazi nyingi kuiboresha. Kwa upande mwingine hatuna wachangiaji wengi. Labda ni bora kumwalika mchangiaji wa mchango mbaya ajiandikishe. Asipokubali tufute mchango wake kama ni mbaya sana.ChriKo (majadiliano) 21:54, 27 Novemba 2012 (UTC)

Mzee Kipala, niseme ile kimjinimjini, "Hapo Mpango Mzima"! Jsoby atafanya mambo kwa kweli. Haya, tusubirie. Halafu kuna jamaa hapo chini kashusha mzigo wa Google Translate kwa lengo la kutuletea ujumbe wa masuala ya MediaWiki, lakini sijamwelewa kwanini katumia Google Translate katika kufikisha ujumbe wake. Muhuni huyo kijana. Wenu,--_{Mwanaharakati}^Longa 17:36, 28 Novemba 2012 (UTC)

Wapendwa nina mambo mawili.

A) Kwa kumjibu ChriKo napenda kusema ya kwamba ni vigumu kuwasiliana na mtu asiyejiandikisha katika mazingira ya Afrika ya MAshariki. Wasiojiandikisha tuna IP pekee. Nahisi wengi (angalau si wachache) wanatumia internet cafe kwa hiyo anwani za IP zinaweza kubadilika mara kwa mara. Kwa hiyo wengine hawaoni jibu. Pia sijui kama mtu asiyejiandikisha anaona ilani ya habari wakati wa kufika? Mzigo wa kusafisha ni kubwa maana kwa sasa tuko wachache. Angalau kama jina liko tunajua kumwandikia nani.

B) Nimepata jibu kutoka steward ya Meta aliye tayari kutusaidia kupeleka ombi 8ambalo mimi nisingejua kutekeleza kivipi - tazameni ukurasa wangu Majadiliano_ya_mtumiaji:Kipala#Reply_from_Meta. Kwa hiyo nitamwambia tumepata kura ya ndiyo, sawa? Kipala (majadiliano) 18:43, 5 Desemba 2012 (UTC)

Kweli, huwezi kumtumia mtu asiyejiandikisha ujumbe, lakini unaweza kuuweka katika majadiliano ya ukurasa. Huwezi kuwa hakika asome na ajibu. Asipojibu futa ukurasa wake. Hata hivyo, ukiupenda zaidi tumia utatuzi wako. ChriKo (majadiliano) 22:45, 5 Desemba 2012 (UTC)

Nakubali, Mzee Kipala.--_{Mwanaharakati}^Longa 07:10, 7 Desemba 2012 (UTC)

Wapendwa ombi letu limeshapelekwa kwa wahusika na steward MarcoAurelio tazama hapa: Majadiliano_ya_mtumiaji:Kipala#Reply_from_Meta. Sasa tusubiri tuone. Kipala (majadiliano) 11:29, 9 Desemba 2012 (UTC)

Doria rahisi, marekebisho ya lugha, kubadilishwa kwa mwambaa upande na mengineo katika MediaWiki mpya.

Wiki hii na wiki ijayo tunazindua toleo mpya ya MediaWiki katika wiki yenu, kama kawaida. Toleo hili linakuja pamoja na one-click(AJAX) patrolling, kwa kurasa mpya na diff patrol(ona bug 7851). Pia, nilidhani mngetaka kujua kuhusu mabadaliko yafuatayo

Internationalisation/localization:

• Sasa nambari zinazotumia mtindo wa Kihispania zitatumia nafasi(space) kutofautisha maelfu, kama ilivyo shurutishwa na The Real Academia Española.
• Nambari za Kurdish, zitatumia alama ya kikomo kutofautisha maelfu na koma kwa desimali.
• Narayam: Alitoa baobonye ya MyBest kwa sababu ya majaribio kuanguka na pia, kukosekana kwa kumbukumbu

Kigezo, script ya mtumiaji, na skin hackers:

• Vipengele vya , , <meta>, na <link> vinakubalika ndani ya wikitext kutumika na Microdata
• Kipengele cha HTML5 sasa kimekuwa whitelisted.
• jQuery imeboreshwa kutoka 1.8.2 hadi 1.8.3
• Katika MediaWiki ya wiki yako: Ni lazima <skin>.css, h4. h5 na h6 katika mwambaa upande zibadilishwe kuwa h3 ili ziweze kufanya kazi.(maelezo zaidi katika https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/30361/ and bug 457)

Wikisourcers:

• Kurasa ya kusahihisha(ProofreadPage) imepata OAI-PMH API: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Proofread_Page#OAI-PMH

Kama kawaida, zaidi katika https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.21/wmf5 na tarehe za kuzinduliwa zipo katika https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.21/Roadmap.

Tafadhali tufahamishe kuhusu shida zozote! Asante sana kwa maoni yako.

Be a Wikimedia fundraising "User Experience" volunteer!

Thank you to everyone who volunteered last year on the Wikimedia fundraising 'User Experience' project. We have talked to many different people in different countries and their feedback has helped us immensely in restructuring our pages. If you haven't heard of it yet, the 'User Experience' project has the goal of understanding the donation experience in different countries (outside the USA) and enhancing the localization of our donation pages.

Help turn ideas into grants in the new IdeaLab

I apologize if this message is not in your language. Please help translate it.

• Do you have an idea for a project to improve this community or website?
• Do you think you could complete your idea if only you had some funding?
• Do you want to help other people turn their ideas into project plans or grant proposals?

Please join us in the IdeaLab, an incubator for project ideas and Individual Engagement Grant proposals.

The Wikimedia Foundation is seeking new ideas and proposals for Individual Engagement Grants. These grants fund individuals or small groups to complete projects that help improve this community. If interested, please submit a completed proposal by February 15, 2013. Please visit https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG for more information.

Thanks! --Siko Bouterse, Head of Individual Engagement Grants, Wikimedia Foundation 20:54, 30 Januari 2013 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Common.css

This supports a lot of style detail, some more important than others. On the busy Wikipedias it is developed more than on less busy Wikipedias, by experts in CSS. In particular there is support for a new class called "hlist" which helps display horizontal lists in a way that means that screen reading software for blind and partially sighted people works better. I propose we either copy the hlist section from en:, or copy the whole thing. (Note, being a protected page will need an admin to do it.)

All the best, Rich Farmbrough , 10:25, 31 Januari 2013 (UTC).

Note: Without the hlist class navboxes imported from en: will display as a vertical list. Rich Farmbrough , 16:20, 31 Januari 2013 (UTC).

What do you need to make it work like the English one?--_{Mwanaharakati}^Longa 08:48, 1 Februari 2013 (UTC)

I think the best thing to do is to simply copy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css, to MediaWiki:Common.css. I think this should be reasonably safe, provided pages are tested the change can be simply reverted in case of difficulties. Rich Farmbrough , 08:29, 5 Februari 2013 (UTC).

Thanks to Muddyb, this is successfully done. Rich Farmbrough , 17:29, 5 Februari 2013 (UTC).

The gratitudes is all yours, my friend! You saw it right before us!--_{Mwanaharakati}^Longa 07:36, 6 Februari 2013 (UTC)

Wikidata phase 1 (language links) coming to this Wikipedia

Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this locally.

Wikidata has been in development for a few months now. It is now time for the roll-out of the first part of it on your Wikipedia. Phase 1 is the support for the management of language links. It is already being used on the Hungarian, Hebrew, Italian and English Wikipedias. The next step is to enable the extension on all other Wikipedias. We have currently planned this for March 6.

What is Wikidata?

Wikidata is a central place to store data that you can usually find in infoboxes. Think of it as something like Wikimedia Commons but for data (like the number of inhabitants of a country or the length of a river) instead of multimedia. The first part of this project (centralizing language links) is being rolled out now. The more fancy things will follow later.

What is going to happen?

Language links in the sidebar are going to come from Wikidata in addition to the ones in the wiki text. To edit them, scroll to the bottom of the language links, and click edit. You no longer need to maintain these links by hand in the wiki text of the article.

Where can I find more information and ask questions?

Editors on en:wp have created a great page with all the necessary information for editors and there is also an FAQ for this deployment. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ’s discussion page.

I want to be kept up to date about Wikidata

Wikidata phase 1 (language links) live on this Wikipedia

Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this locally. If you understand German better than English you can have a look at the announcement on de:Wikipedia:Kurier.

As I annonced 2 weeks ago, Wikidata phase 1 (language links) has been deployed here today. Language links in the sidebar are coming from Wikidata in addition to the ones in the wiki text. To edit them, scroll to the bottom of the language links, and click edit. You no longer need to maintain these links by hand in the wiki text of the article.

Where can I find more information and ask questions? Editors on en:wp have created a great page with all the necessary information for editors and there is also an FAQ for this deployment. It'd be great if you could bring this to this wiki if that has not already happened. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ’s discussion page.

Convert complex templates to Lua to make them faster and more powerful

(Please consider translating this message for the benefit of your fellow Wikimedians)

Greetings. As you might have seen on the Wikimedia tech blog or the tech ambassadors list, a new functionality called "Lua" is being enabled on all Wikimedia sites today. Lua is a scripting language that enables you to write faster and more powerful MediaWiki templates.

If you have questions about how to convert existing templates to Lua (or how to create new ones), we'll be holding two support sessions on IRC next week: one on Wednesday (for Oceania, Asia & America) and one on Friday (for Europe, Africa & America); see m:IRC office hours for the details. If you can't make it, you can also get help at mw:Talk:Lua scripting.

If you'd like to learn about this kind of events earlier in advance, consider becoming a Tech ambassador by subscribing to the mailing list. You will also be able to help your fellow Wikimedians have a voice in technical discussions and be notified of important decisions.
