Editing news 2023 #1
[breyta]Read this in another language • Subscription list for this multilingual newsletter
This newsletter includes two key updates about the Editing team's work:
- The Editing team will finish adding new features to the Talk pages project and deploy it.
- They are beginning a new project, Edit check.
Talk pages project
The Editing team is nearly finished with this first phase of the Talk pages project. Nearly all new features are available now in the Beta Feature for Discussion tools.
It will show information about how active a discussion is, such as the date of the most recent comment. There will soon be a new "Bæta við umræðu" button. You will be able to turn them off at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion. Please tell them what you think.
An A/B test for Discussion tools on the mobile site has finished. Editors were more successful with Discussion tools. The Editing team is enabling these features for all editors on the mobile site.
New Project: Edit Check
The Editing team is beginning a project to help new editors of Wikipedia. It will help people identify some problems before they click "Gefa út breytingar". The first tool will encourage people to add references when they add new content. Please watch that page for more information. You can join a conference call on 3 March 2023 to learn more.

Your wiki will be in read only soon
[breyta]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.
All traffic will switch on 1 March. The test will start at 14:00 UTC.
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 Wednesday 1 March 2023.
- 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.
- We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.
- GitLab will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.

I want to bring your attention to the next stage of the Universal Code of Conduct process, which is forming a building committee for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). I invite community members with experience and deep interest in community health and governance to nominate themselves to be part of the U4C building committee, which needs people who are:
- Community members in good standing
- Knowledgeable about movement community processes, such as, but not limited to, policy drafting, participatory decision making, and application of existing rules and policies on Wikimedia projects
- Aware and appreciative of the diversity of the movement, such as, but not limited to, languages spoken, identity, geography, and project type
- Committed to participate for the entire U4C Building Committee period from mid-May - December 2023
- Comfortable with engaging in difficult, but productive conversations
- Confidently able to communicate in English
The Building Committee shall consist of volunteer community members, affiliate board or staff, and Wikimedia Foundation staff.
The Universal Code of Conduct has been a process strengthened by the skills and knowledge of the community and I look forward to what the U4C Building Committee creates. If you are interested in joining the Building Committee, please either sign up on the Meta-Wiki page, or contact ucocproject

Four other candidates were asked to participate as advisors.
Thank you to all the community members who submitted their names for consideration. We look forward to working with the Elections Committee in the near future.

Review the Charter for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee
[breyta]Hello all,
I am pleased to share the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct work. The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) draft charter is now ready for your review.
The Enforcement Guidelines require a Building Committee form to draft a charter that outlines procedures and details for a global committee to be called the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). Over the past few months, the U4C Building Committee worked together as a group to discuss and draft the U4C charter. The U4C Building Committee welcomes feedback about the draft charter now through 22 September 2023. After that date, the U4C Building Committee will revise the charter as needed and a community vote will open shortly afterward.
Join the conversation during the conversation hours or on Meta-wiki.
Best,
RamzyM (WMF), on behalf of the U4C Building Committee, 28. ágúst 2023 kl. 15:35 (UTC)

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in three weeks?
[breyta]Read this in your language • Please help translate to your language • Please tell other users about these changes
Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Web team. In three weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.
If you prefer keeping the current skin select "Vector legacy (2010)" on the appearance tab of the global preferences and save the change. We encourage you to give the new skin a try, though.
It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy as a local (but not global) preference. Logged-in users can at any time switch to any other skin. No changes are expected for these skins.

About the skin
[breyta]
[Why is a change necessary] When the current default skin was created, it reflected the needs of the readers and editors as these were 14 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using the Internet and Wikimedia projects in different ways. The old Vector does not meet their needs.
[Objective] The objective for the Vector 2022 skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It introduces a series of changes that aim to improve problems new and existing readers and editors were having with the old skin. It draws inspiration from previous user requests, the Community Wishlist Surveys, and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins. The PHP code in the other available skins has been reduced by 75%. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs.
[Changes in a nutshell] The skin introduces changes that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin.
- The limited width and pin-able menus allow to adjust the interface to the screen size, and focus on editing or reading. Logged-in and logged-out users may use a toggle button to keep the full width, though.
- The sticky header makes it easier to find tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%.
- The new table of contents makes it easier to navigate to different sections. Readers and editors jump to different sections of the page 50% more than with the old table of contents. It also looks a bit different on talk pages.
- The new search bar is easier to find and makes it easier to find the correct search result from the list. This increased the amount of searches started by 30% on the tested wikis.
- The skin does not negatively affect pageviews, edit rates, or account creation. There is evidence of increases in pageviews and account creation across partner communities.
[Customize this skin] It's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts. Check out the repository for a list of currently available customizations and changes, or add your own.
Our plan
[breyta]If no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying on 14 November. If you'd like to ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please comment in any language. If this is the first comment to my message, make sure to ping me. We will gladly answer! Also, check out our FAQ. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (spjall) 26. október 2023 kl. 01:17 (UTC)

[breyta]Ég hef verið að velta fyrir mér sniðum sem vantar hér að fyrirmynd enska verkefnisins. Vandamálið er að það fer rosalega mikil vinna í að þýða þau yfir á íslensku. Þá er ég ekki að tala um það sem lesendur sjá heldur allt hitt, sérstaklega færibreyturnar (og finna út úr því hvað þær allar gera). Sniðin hér eru að mér sýnist tekin frá enska verkefninu og nánast ekkert breytt fyrir utan að þau eru þýdd á íslensku, en misvel hefur tekist til og mörg þeirra eða jafnvel flest eru blanda af ensku og íslensku.
Þar sem þetta verkefni er mjög lítið og frekar óvirkt velti ég fyrir mér hvort einfaldast væri ekki að nota ensku sniðin beint og þýða bara það sem lesendur sjá. Það myndi hafa þann kost einnig að ef einhverjum nýjum eiginleikum er bætt við þau ensku þá gætum við fengið þá nánast samstundis með því að afrita þau beint og breyta bara textanum sem birtist, í stað þess að þurfa að fylgjast með fullkomnu samræmi milli nafna sniðanna og færibreytnanna. Sumum myndu kannski finnast það galli að gera allt eins og enska verkefnið en sniðin þar eru almennt mjög naumhyggjuleg, einföld og eiginleikarík.
Ég er ekki endilega að leggja til að farið sé í allsherjarhreinsun og umbreytingu, ég hef alla vega ekki tíma í það, en hef í hyggju að bæta við nokkrum sniðum sem ég þarf og mun leyfa þeim að vera á ensku nema hvað texta sem lesendum birtist varðar. Í einhverjum tilfellum kann fjölritun að eiga sér stað, sem sagt að sniðið sé nú þegar til hér í einhverju ástandi (jafnvel biluðu). Tíminn einn verður að leiða í ljós hvernig þetta allt saman endar. Stefán Örvar Sigmundsson (spjall) 30. desember 2023 kl. 01:40 (UTC)
- Svo framalega sem að erlendu sniðin noti sömu gildi og þau sem eru á íslensku síðunni þá ætti það að ganga. Eitthvað af sniðunum eru afrituð af erlendu síðunum. Snævar (spjall) 3. janúar 2024 kl. 22:17 (UTC)
5 miðjusett snið
[breyta]Sá 5 miðjusett snið, Snið:Ritútgáfa, Snið:Ritundirtitill, Snið:Rittitill, Snið:Rithöfundur og Snið:Miðju. Er ekki alveg að skilja tilganginn, það væri hægt að láta Snið:Miðju sjá um þetta allt saman. Auk þess eru þau notuð vitlaust á Leiðarvísir í ástamálum II. fyrir ungar stúlkur, á myndinni er höfundurinn með helmingi minni leturs hæð en titillinn og titillinn er feitletraður, en sniðið tilgreinir það ekki. Get hinsvegar ekki gert neitt í málinu því fyrstu fjögur sniðin eru notuð á stjórnendavernduðum síðum. Snævar (spjall) 4. janúar 2024 kl. 21:41 (UTC)

Þó svo það sé ónotað, þá bætir það úr þeirri staðreynd að það er ekki hægt að nota mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##time með íslenskri dagsetningu sem inniheldur íslenskan mánuð (t.d. "8. janúar 2024"). Bara tímaspursmál hvenær þetta verður notað.
- Íslensku wikipediu útgáfan hefur verið notuð nokkrum sinnum í íslenskum útvarpsviðtölum. Sýnir söguna á verkefninu, sem er bara gott mál. Gæti auðveldlega uppfært þessa síðu ef það er vandamálið.
- Ætti að vera á síðunum Arnbjörg, Grasnytjar, Norsk æfintýri og Æfisaga Jóns Ólafssonar Indíafara. Uppfært fyrir örfáum dögum.
- Notað á Snið:Óklárað. Nútíma viðhaldsmeldingar nota oftast þetta snið. Nýlega búið til og er einnig alveg uppfært við ensku útgáfuna.
- Var búið til eftir umræðu á milli Bjarka S og mín, þar sem hann kvartaði yfir erfiðleikunum að setja inn myndir á commons. Virkar sem milliskref fyrir þá sem hafa ekki nokkra klukkutíma á dag lausa og er yfirleitt alltaf skipt út fyrir mynd af commons að endingu. Hefur verið notuð þannig nokkrum sinnum af þremur mismunandi notendum. Þarf ekki að uppfæra, því undirsniðið var uppfært.
- Notað af Snið:Hrá mynd, í gegnum undirsniðið.

Reusing references: Can we look over your shoulder?
[breyta]Apologies for writing in English.
The Technical Wishes team at Wikimedia Deutschland is planning to make reusing references easier. For our research, we are looking for wiki contributors willing to show us how they are interacting with references.
- The format will be a 1-hour video call, where you would share your screen. More information here.
- Interviews can be conducted in English, German or Dutch.
- Compensation is available.
- Sessions will be held in January and February.
- Sign up here if you are interested.
- Please note that we probably won’t be able to have sessions with everyone who is interested. Our UX researcher will try to create a good balance of wiki contributors, e.g. in terms of wiki experience, tech experience, editing preferences, gender, disability and more. If you’re a fit, she will reach out to you to schedule an appointment.
We’re looking forward to seeing you, Thereza Mengs (WMDE)

Opinberar yfirlýsingar og opin bréf
[breyta]Ég fæ ekki séð að opinberar yfirlýsingar eða opin bréf geti talist óhöfundaréttarvarin og þannig eign almennings samkvæmt höfundalögum nr. 73/1972. Ég fæ ekki betur séð en að ensku Wikiheimildir hafi einnig skilið bandarísk lög á þá vegu að án skýrar yfirlýsingar um höfundarétt, þar sem tekið er fram að opinber yfirlýsing eða opið bréf sé án kvaða, skal skilja eðli þeirra þannig að þau séu ekki frjáls til dreifingar umfram þá dreifingu sem þau upprunalega fengu að beiðni og með leyfi höfunda.
Ég sett þetta innlegg fram þar sem ég hef tekið eftir því að hér er snið sem kallast yfirlýsing og setur eftirfarandi texta á síður: „Gert er ráð fyrir því að heimilt sé að birta þetta verk, sem er opinber yfirlýsing eða ávarp, án sérstaks leyfis höfundarétthafa. Ef grunur leikur á að birting þessa verks sé leyfisskyld, ætti að tæma síðuna sem geymir verkið og geta mögulegs höfundaréttarbrots. Einungis skyldi nota þetta snið eftir að reynt hefur verið að leita staðfestingar á því hvort verkið er leyfisskylt eða ekki.“
Þetta snið er nú notað á þremur síðum og legg ég til að því verði eytt ásamt efninu sem það er notað fyrir. Stefna Wikimedia Foundation er að láta höfundarétt njóta vafans og tel ég að við eigum ekki að vera að gera ráð fyrir einu eða neinu varðandi heimild til að birta efni.

Invitation to join January Wikisource Community Meeting
[breyta]Hello fellow Wikisource enthusiasts!
We are the hosting this month’s Wikisource Community meeting on 27 January 2024, 3 PM UTC (check your local time).
As we gear up for our upcoming Wikisource Community meeting, we are excited to share some additional information with you.
The meetings will now be held on the last Saturday of each month. We understand the importance of accommodating different time zones, so to better cater to our global community, we've decided to alternate meeting times. The meeting will take place at 3 pm UTC this month, and next month it will be scheduled for 7 am UTC on the last Saturday. This rotation will continue, allowing for a balanced representation of different time zones.
As always, the meeting agenda will be divided into two halves. The first half of the meeting will focus on non-technical updates, including discussions about events, conferences, proofread-a-thons, and collaborations. The second half will delve into technical updates and conversations, addressing major challenges faced by Wikisource communities, similar to our previous Community meetings.
If you are interested in joining the meeting, kindly leave a message on klawal-ctr@wikimedia.org and we will add you to the calendar invite.
Meanwhile, feel free to check out the page on Meta-wiki and suggest any other topics for the agenda.
Regards

Community members may cast their vote and provide comments about the charter via SecurePoll now through 2 February 2024. Those of you who voiced your opinions during the development of the UCoC Enforcement Guidelines will find this process familiar.
The current version of the U4C Charter is on Meta-wiki with translations available.
Read the charter, go vote and share this note with others in your community. I can confidently say the U4C Building Committee looks forward to your participation.

Uppfærsla á Proofread Page
[breyta]Ég er að uppfæra allt sem tengist Proofread Page-viðbótinni með aðstoð frá einstaklingi frá enska verkefninu. Á meðan er ekki hægt að skoða eða breyta síðum í nafnrýminu frumrit (index). Vonandi mun þettta ekki taka marga daga. Stefán Örvar Sigmundsson (spjall) 25. janúar 2024 kl. 03:39 (UTC)
Nánar: Vandamálið er þannig að þegar þetta verkefni var fyrst sett af stað þá var ákveðið útfærsluatriði tengt frumritasíðum vanhugsað og leiðir það af sér að það er ekki hægt að taka við uppfærslum á meldingum, sniðum, og skriftum tengdum viðbótinni án þess að nafnrýmið fari í klessu. Ég er í sambandi við sérfræðing á enska verkefninu sem er að reyna að leysa úr málinu en það felur í sér smá kóðun og síðan að vélmenni fari í gegnum allar frumritasíðurnar og samræmi breyturnar eða gildin sem þar liggja að baki. Stefán Örvar Sigmundsson (spjall) 25. janúar 2024 kl. 11:24 (UTC)
- Uppfærslunni er að mestu lokið og frumritssíður eru aftur komnar í lag. Það á eftir að íslenska á ný ákveðin atriði og mun ég reyna að koma því í verk sem fyrst. Stefán Örvar Sigmundsson (spjall) 26. janúar 2024 kl. 08:10 (UTC)

Flokkun verka og höfunda eftir dagsetningum
[breyta]Ensku sniðin og skrifturnar sem afritaðar hafa verið inn í þetta verkefni frá hinu enska er ekki hægt að nota fyllilega. Í raun þyrfti að endurskrifa kóðann frá grunni til að aðlaga hann að íslenskri málvenju. Þar fyrir utan er hönnun þeirra þannig að þau búa til ógrynni flokka eftir árum, áratugum, árhundruðum og árþúsundum. Það er gott og vel fyrir verkefni sem mega búast við tugum þúsunda höfunda og hundruðum þúsunda verka en skapar bara martröð fyrir jafn lítinn notendahóp og íslenskumælendur eru.
Ég legg því til að í stað þess að búa til flokka fyrir hvert ár sem verk voru gefin út, menn fæddust og menn létust; að við flokkum bara eftir árhundruðum að svo stöddu. Þannig forðumst við að vera með hundruð eða þúsundir flokka sem flestir yrðu tómir en aðrir með einn eða kannski tvo höfunda eða verk. Til að ná þessu fram þarf að gera breytingar á Snið:Header og Snið:Author svo þau noti ekki kóðann sem fylgir samnefndum skriftum til að meðhöndla dagsetningar og búa til flokka. Stefán Örvar Sigmundsson (spjall) 27. janúar 2024 kl. 15:52 (UTC)
- Betrumbætur eru í fínu lagi en það að eyða gamalli útgáfu er ekki í lagi undir þessum aðstæðum. Ef þú getur ekki svarað eins og með Wikiheimild:Potturinn#Afeyðing #2 og setur bara svona skilaboð upp eins og "front" fyrir breytingum þá hef ég afskaplega lítið álit á þér.

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2024 Selection
[breyta]Dear all,
This year, the term of 4 (four) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.
The 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 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. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page.
Best regards,
Dariusz Jemielniak (Governance Committee Chair, Board Selection Working Group)
[5] Even though the ideal number is 12 candidates for 4 open seats, the shortlisting process will be triggered if there are more than 15 candidates because the 1-3 candidates that are removed might feel ostracized and it would be a lot of work for affiliates to carry out the shortlisting process to only eliminate 1-3 candidates from the candidate list.

Your wiki will be in read-only soon
[breyta]Read this message in another language • Please help translate to your language
The Wikimedia Foundation will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on 20 March. The test will start at 14:00 UTC.
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 Wednesday 20 March 2024.
- 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.
- We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.
- GitLab will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.

Switching to the Vector 2022 skin
[breyta]Read this in your language • Please help translate to your language • Please tell other users about these changes
Hi everyone. We are the Wikimedia Foundation Web team. As you may have read in our previous message, over the past year, we have been getting closer to switching every wiki to the Vector 2022 skin as the new default. In our previous conversations with Wikisource communities, we had identified an issue with the Index namespace that prevented switching the skin on. This issue is now resolved.
We are now ready to continue and will be deploying on Wikisource wikis on March 25th.
To learn more about the new skin and what improvements it introduces, please see our documentation. If you have any issues with the skin after the change, if you spot any gadgets not working, or notice any bugs – please comment below! We are also open to joining events like the Wikisource Community meetings to talk to you directly. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (spjall) 18. mars 2024 kl. 20:50 (UTC)

As communicated by the Charter Electoral Commission, we reached the quorum for both Affiliate and individual votes by the time the vote closed on July 9, 23:59 UTC. We thank all 2,451 individuals and 129 Affiliate representatives who voted in the ratification process. Your votes and comments are invaluable for the future steps in Movement Strategy.
The final results of the Wikimedia Movement Charter ratification voting held between 25 June and 9 July 2024 are as follows:
Individual vote:

Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 73.30% voted to approve the Charter (1710/2333), while 26.70% voted to reject the Charter (623/2333).
Affiliates vote:
Out of 129 Affiliates designated voters who voted as of July 9 23:59 (UTC), 129 votes are confirmed as valid votes. Among these, 93 voted “yes”; 18 voted “no”; and 18 selected “–” (neutral). Because the neutral votes don’t count towards the total number of votes cast, 83.78% voted to approve the Charter (93/111), while 16.22% voted to reject the Charter (18/111).
Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation:
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees voted not to ratify the proposed Charter during their special Board meeting on July 8, 2024. The Chair of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees, Nataliia Tymkiv, shared the result of the vote, the resolution, meeting minutes and proposed next steps.

Coming soon: A new sub-referencing feature – try it!
[breyta]
Hello. For many years, community members have requested an easy way to re-use references with different details. Now, a MediaWiki solution is coming: The new sub-referencing feature will work for wikitext and Visual Editor and will enhance the existing reference system. You can continue to use different ways of referencing, but you will probably encounter sub-references in articles written by other users. More information on the project page.
We want your feedback to make sure this feature works well for you:
- Please try the current state of development on beta wiki and let us know what you think.
- Sign up here to get updates and/or invites to participate in user research activities.
Wikimedia Deutschland’s Technical Wishes team is planning to bring this feature to Wikimedia wikis later this year. We will reach out to creators/maintainers of tools and templates related to references beforehand.

Vantrauststillaga
[breyta]Ég legg hérmeð fram vantrausttillögu á Stefán Örn Sigmundsson, sem hefur farið langt fram útúr upphaflegum áætlunum að laga "forna lagatexta". Hann hefur eytt snið:eyða, þangað til ég notaði gamla útgáfu frá 1-1-2024, sem er óskiljanleg aðgerð sem er skaðleg þessu vefsvæði, enda samræður af hinu góða. Stefán hefur fengið fjórar áminningar frá mér, þar af tvær á þessari síðu og hefur alls ekki bætt ráð sitt. Hann hefur líka farið út í notkun botta án þess að nota vélmenna aðganginn sinn, sem er ekki bara brot hér heldur á flestum WMF verkefnum.
Hann nennir augljóslega ekki að lesa skilaboð frá öðrum frá A til Ö. Hann hefur líka haldið fram rangfærslum á Meta:Steward requests/Permissions/2024-04#Stefán Örvar Sigmundsson@iswikisource þar sem hann segir að engar aðfinnslur hafi borist honum, sem er alger sögufölsun í ljósi þess að ég hef sent honum nokkrar. Sú fyrsta var á User talk:Stefán Örvar Sigmundsson, önnur á Wikiheimild:Potturinn#Afeyðing síðna, þriðja á s:is:Wikiheimild:Potturinn#Afeyðing #2 og fjórða gagnvart hærri ráðandi notendum en honum sjálfum.
Stefán hefur eytt nokkrum síðum sem tengdar voru Hjálp:Efnisyfirlit og tengt í staðinn á enskar hjálparsíður um sama efni. Margar þessara síðna voru búnar til af mér, en einnig öðrum eins og Io, sem var virkur á íslensku wikiheimild fyrir löngu síðan. Hann hefur líka eytt síðunum Flokkur:Höfundar, Notandi:Koavf og Hjálp:Efnisyfirlit, sem hafa allar verið endurskapaðar eftir eyðingu, tvær þeirra af Stefáni sjálfum. Stefán hefur með þessu eytt breytingarsögu síðnana og eignað sér þýðingar annara, sem er gróft brot á CC-BY-SA. Snævar (spjall) 13. september 2024 kl. 01:56 (UTC)
- Ég hef farið langt fram úr upprunalegri áætlun enda áttaði ég mig ekki á stöðu verkefnisins sem nokkurs konar ruslakista yfirgefinna og ókláraðra verka. Það góða við wiki-kerfið er að ekkert hverfur að eilífu. Ég hef eytt ýmsu og komið til baka með annað nýtt. Ég hef jú farið hraðfærislega á köflum undir slagorðinu move fast and break things, en hef einnig afeytt en þó aðallega komið með nýrri og endurbættri útgáfu.
- Ég veit að sum staðar eru reglur um takmörkun á notkun svokallaðra vélmenna en ég fæ ekki séð að það eigi við hér. Það er skiljanlegra á mjög virkum verkefnum en á verkefni þar sem breytingar á mánuði geta allt eins verið 0 sé ég ekki að þetta sé stórmál.
- Hvað sögufölsun varðar þá var ég að tala um að færsluna sem ég setti inn á Pottinn þegar ég tilkynnti um umsóknina því við hana komu engar athugasemdir á því tímabili sem hún átti að vera áður en tekin var afstaða umsóknarinnar. Ég var ekki að lýsa yfir að ég hefði aldrei átt í mannlegum samskiptum og ég gerði mér ekki grein á því að svonefndar áminningar þínar kæmu frá formlegu yfirvaldi.
- Þegar ég endurhannaði flokkunarkerfið þá eyddi ég flokkum til að geta haft rými til að sjá hlutina án flækja. Þeir flokkar sem ég bjó til að nýju og eru nú í hinu nýja kerfi eru jú tengdir mínu nafni en flokkar eru að eðli sínu tómir, það er að segja það var ekkert efni á þeim enda eru síðurnar í þeim tengdar í gegnum sig sjálfar. Ég veit því ekki hvaða höfundarétt ég var að eigna mér í þessu tilfelli.
- Það voru nær engar hjálparsíður heldur voru tenglarnir í Hjálp:Efnisyfirlit nær allir rauðir. Það lita efni sem var til var úrelt enda hefur til dæmis Proofread Page-viðbótin breyst töluvert í tímans rás eins og flest annað en engin var að fara uppfæra það hér og sem betur fer eru Íslendingar vel læsir á ensku. Þar sem ég gerði ekki ráð fyrir því að þetta myndi breytast þá ákvað ég að marka þáttaskil við fortíðina með því að eyða efnisyfirlitinu og búa það til að nýju með enska efnisyfirlitinu eins og það var þá og er væntanlega enn. Eins og ég geri með flest þá setti ég textann í gegnum Google Translate og lagaði svo það litla sem kom undarlega út áður en ég tengdi svo hvern lið við viðeigandi síðu á enska verkefninu. Þegar menn þýða heila skáldsögu geta þeir sagst eiga höfundarétt á þýðingunni en að ætla sér höfundarétt á stökum íslenskum orðum er frekar hæpið. Ég hef notað Google-þýðingar við þær þúsundir þýðinga sem ég hef langt fram á Translate.net en hef ekki gerst svo grófur að telja mig eiga stök íslensk orða eða tveggja eða þriggja orða setningar.

[breyta]Afeyða undirsíður Heilagramannasg00univgoog.pdf, hunsa undirsíður 1001b2-wiki.pdf og The_Finding_of_Wineland_the_Good.djvu. Viðurkenni að titill Heilagra manna sagna er lélegur, en það er lagað með að færa síður, ekki eyðingum. 7 afeyðingar
Afeyða undirssíður Heilagra_manna_sögur_-_Bindi_2.pdf, hunsa RNABindi1.pdf og dómur Landóms.
Líka afeyða undirssíður Þúsund_og_ein_nótt_(bindi_2).pdf, Biskupa_sögur_Bindi_1.pdf og Íslensk_Söngbók.djvu. Þarft að fara aftur um 4 síður til að sjá tengla á allar þessar síður.

- Björn_Halldórsson_-_Grasnytjar og Arnbjörg - Afeyða. Var upphaflega til í aðalnafnrými og ég bjó til síðurnar í "blaðsíðu" nafnrýminu. Það hefur gert það að verkum að ég hef get bætt við síðum í aðalnafnrýmið frá blaðsíðu nafnrýminu, þannig breytingarsaga síðnana er klárlega tengd.

Your wiki will be in read-only soon
[breyta]Read this message in another language • Please help translate to your language
The Wikimedia Foundation will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.
All traffic will switch on 25 September. The switch will start at 15:00 UTC.
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.
A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.
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 Wednesday 25 September 2024.
- 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.
- We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.
- GitLab will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.
This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.
Please share this information with your community.Trizek_(WMF), 20. september 2024 kl. 09:37 (UTC)

'Wikidata item' link is moving, finally.
[breyta]Hello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the Wikidata item sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the General section into the In Other Projects section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. Please let us know if you notice any problems or bugs after this change. There should be no need for null-edits or purging cache for the changes to occur. Kind regards, -Danny Benjafield (WMDE) 22. október 2024 kl. 11:29 (UTC)
