Nog ins: de (her)spèlling vaan Belsj-Limbörgse plaotsnaome

Leef lui,

E tiedsje trök deeg iech e veurstèl um de spèlling vaan plaotse in Belsj Limbörg e bitteke aon te passe aon de Veldekespèlling. De sjriefwijs die v'r noe gebruke kump vaan 'n (intösse verdwene) site, boe 't sjijns à l'improviste waor gebäörd. Umtot geer neet massaol höb gereageerd, wèl iech dees ingriepende verandering nog ins aon de orde bringe ietot iech ze doorveur. Mèt aander wäörd: stao d'r achter 't herspèlle vaan de plaotsnaome wie iech op de geneumde paasj höb veurgestèld? Steinbach 20 sep 2011 20:02 (CEST)

Iech wis neet tot get wats diech op dien eige (sub)pagina sjrijfs e veurstèl waor, aongezeen 't weier volges miech nörges es zoedaneg is aongekondeg. Iech höb euveriges gein probleme demèt. Wie steit 't mèt de Belzje Veldekekringe? Gief 't geine dee dao kontak mèt heet of kin opnumme? Netuurlek moot dao neet te lang mèt/op gewach weure, aanders kump 'n verandering noets vaan de groond. - Pahles | zègk 't mer 20 sep 2011 20:35 (CEST)

Tsja.. Veldeke is neet officieel in Belsj. Weer zówwen ieës ech baeter mótte weite wie det vnl. belsje dichters etc. óp 't plat sjrieve veurdet weer hie alles ómgoeaje. Weer höbbe al zowiezo weinig (óp 't memènt gein) belsje gebroekers en es weer get gaon daon det gans taenge de gebroeke en euvereinkómste dao ingeit, den hove w'r d'r ouch neet mieë väöl d'r bie te verwachte. --OosWesThoesBes 20 sep 2011 21:10 (CEST)

@Pahles: Gans Belsj Limbörg is eine Veldekekrink. Iech höb in 't verleie al dèkser mèt die perbere contak op te numme, meh dat góng neet. @Owtb: Iech höb al aonwiezinge tot 't huieg lieske neet pareert mèt wat me plaotselek gewoen is. Lôneke is beveurbeeld plaotselek gewoen Laoneke en in de Veldekespèlling ouch. Iech zouw pleite veur e beleid wat v'r de facto al e tiedsje touwpasse: es 'nen dictionair besteit ('nen echte, gein idioticon!) mèt 'n apaarte spelling, hawwe v'r die aon, aanders gewoen Veldeke doorveure. Dictionaire höbbe ze ieg in Hasselt en Tóngere (mèt trouwes vrij zwoer aofwiekende spellinge). Steinbach 20 sep 2011 21:24 (CEST)

Det liek mich inderdaad e good idieë, meh den mótte v'r waal zorge det 't consequent gebeurdj en det dus alle pagina's óp 't Tóngers en Hessels ouch in die aafwiekendje spelling gaon staon. --OosWesThoesBes 21 sep 2011 05:13 (CEST)

Dao mote Hesseleers en Tungerlinge meh veur zörge. Alleh, iech mail nog eine kier achter Veldeke BL aon, es die weer niks melle daan daon iech 't. Steinbach 21 sep 2011 10:17 (CEST)

Noe nog sjoender! Veldeke Belsj Limbörg is sjijns gans opgeheve! 't Domein veldeke.be steit te koup en de hoofpaasj veldeke.net vermelt niks mie vaan 'ne Belsj-Limbörgse krink. Tristeg lui, de cultivatie vaan 't Limbörgs is dao 'ne weiken doed gestorve (en in Nederland raak 't ouch oet). PR-beleid vaan 't jaor nul, zeker... Wie daan ouch, 't zuut neet oet of iech 't nog iemes kin vraoge. Steinbach 21 sep 2011 10:24 (CEST)

Mesjiens hie? [[1]], besjteit 10 jaor. Mesjiens beter twiè sjpellinge gebruke t.a.v. Belzje plaatsname: Veldeke-sjpelling en eige sjpelling.--Aelske 21 sep 2011 19:55 (CEST)

Neet nujeg, de mieste dialekte weure neet dèks gesjreve en höbbe gein coherente spelling. Daan is vraoge um Veldekespelling neet zoe'n probleem. Allein Hasselt en Tóngere zien bottlenecks. Merci veur de link trouwes, iech höb intösse Veldeke NL gemaild meh iech verwach ierlek gezag gei vröchbaar antwoord. Steinbach 21 sep 2011 20:10 (CEST)

Die aw site kenste nog bekieke mèt de WayBackMachine van 't Internet Archief hie: de lies van dörper is den hie te vindje.BertK 26 nov 2011 01:34 (CET)

Merci, dat is natuurlek, iech had dao evels nog neet aon gedach.

Wienie is get e stumpke

Leef lui, iech wèl uuch wel ins hure euver de stumpkes. Gister maakde iech 't artikel Lek aon (jeh sorry, iech sjrijf noe eine kier gere euver Hollandse dinger), en markeerde dat es 'stumpke'. Iech deeg dat veural umtot iech voont tot 't langer kós. Idealiter, zoe vin iech, mote artikele hei zoe laank zien wie op de groeter Wikipedia's, aanders heet 't neet zoeväöl zin veur de Limbörgse Wikipedia te goon leze. Daorum markeer iech väöl artikele die iech later nog ins wèl oetbreie mèt {stumpke}.

Noe is 't evels wel zoe tot dat tot inflatie kin leie. Op väöl Wikipedia's stèlt me ziech bij e stumpke get aanders veur, mie in d'n trant vaan De Lek is 'n reveer in Nederland, 'n zijtak vaan de Rijn (vergeliek de Friese versie veur te zien wat iech mein). De Nederlandse Wikipedia heet es definitie vaan 'beginnetje' beveurbeeld: neet mier es drei feite. Zoe'n stumpkes höbbe v'r hei ouch wel, dewijl 't artikel in kwestie legio feite heet. Is 't 'n idee um 'n definitie vaan 'stumpke' op te stèlle, beveurbeeld neet mier es eine paragraaf? ⵙⵜⴰⵢⵏⴱⴰⵅ 7 okt 2011 13:06 (CEST)

Ich vinje zèlf Lek net get te groeat veur e stumpke. Ich dink det eine paragraaf inderdaad al hieël erg kórt inne buurt van e stumpke kump jao. --OosWesThoesBes 7 okt 2011 18:00 (CEST)

Iech ving 't prima, es de paragraaf dan mer neet te lank weurt ;). Eigelik ving iech de naam sjtumpke raar, want dat ies 'ne peuk of sjtuètsje of get wat ièrsj compleet waor en noe neet miè dus 't tegeneuvergesjtèlde wat hie bedoeld weurt. Mesjiens gewoon e kleinekeAelske 7 okt 2011 20:46 (CEST)

Inderdaad zien väöl stumpkes te groet veur e stumpke. Iech kin miech wel vinde in de gestèlde definitie. Mesjiens aanvank (AGL) neume? - Pahles | zègk 't mer 7 okt 2011 21:19 (CEST)

Deh, zien v'r dao-euver ins. Wat miech betröf maag 't gewoen sjtumpke blieve heite. 't Is neet vreemder es 't Ingels stub: dat is 'ne boumstrunkel en kin dus evegood d'n indrök geve tot 't oersprunkelek compleet waor. Dit is ingebörgerd wiki-jargon en 't slut ouch hiel good aon op 't internationaol (nou jeh, wikiwied) begrepe stub. De naom aanvank is druug en prozaïsch, en slut neet good aon op edereine zie Limbörgs (kriege v'r strak die discussie weer), dewijl s(j)tumpke veur edere Limbörger herkinbaar klink. ⵙⵜⴰⵢⵏⴱⴰⵅ 7 okt 2011 21:37 (CEST)

Stub in 'n Ingels beteikent zeker neet boumstroonk. Stub (in de Ingelse taol) weurt gebruuk um aon te geve tot 't 'n begin is, wat oetgebreid moot weure (boe 't daan ouch veur gebruuk weurt in Wikipedia). 't Weurt beveurbeeld ouch gebruuk in bepaolde programmeerumgevinge, boe-in otomatisch allerlei functies weure aongemaak op basis vaan e model, mer die nog ingevöld mote weure. 'ne Boumstroonk is in 't Ingels stump. Iech bin 't mèt diech ins tot Aanvank mesjiens neet de zjuste keus is. Veur miech hoof 't ouch neet persé gewijzeg te weure, es de definitie mer dudelek is. - Pahles | zègk 't mer 8 okt 2011 16:20 (CEST)

Ich vinj det weer "sjtumpke" mótte haje. I.t.t. "huidpazjena" geit 't hie óm get det herkinbaar is en tenminste oetzuut en klink. Daobie zit 't t'r noe bie de gebroekers in en zeen d'r gein gooj alternatieve. Wie Pahles 't inne lètse regel zag dus. --OosWesThoesBes 9 okt 2011 09:23 (CEST)

Noe tot v'r 't hei-euver ins zien gewore: de categorie zouw eigelek Sjtumpkes mote heite, miervoud. Iech höb evels geine zin veur dat bij hoonderde artikele aon te passe. Kin iemes dat mèt ziene robot doen, Pahles beveurbeeld? ⵙⵜⴰⵢⵏⴱⴰⵅ 13 okt 2011 21:08 (CEST)

Waor neet nudeg. Dit stoont in 't sjabloon, dus hoofde allein dao te weure aangepas (lang leve sjablone!). Weier nog de cat zelf aongemaak en de aw cat eweggegoejd... - Pahles | zègk 't mer 13 okt 2011 22:43 (CEST)

Artikele sjrieve en leze

Daag lui,

't Ligk e bitteke stèl allemaol heh? Pak mer ins greujciefers vaan noe en vaan veurgoonde jaore/maonde, dao sjrikste toch wel vaan. Zuug allein mer wie kort de sprunk vaan 5000 nao 6000 artikele heet gedoord, en wie laank tot 't noe al doort veur aon de 7000 te koume. 't Liek wel of 't allein nog mer op nui gebrukers aonkump, die vervolges nao e tiedsje weer weggoon en de Wikipedia weer in de slaopstand zètte.

Is 't neet good um tösse us oonderein es actief gebrukers aof te spreke tot v'r minstes ein artikel per week sjrieve? Dat hoof gein zieë vaan tied te koste, gewoen eve örges 'n eurke of twie vrijmake veur 'n planetoïed, 'ne sjèlder, e dörpke in Belsj Limbörg, e monumint in 't Heuvelland, n'importe wat. En: laote v'r daan ouch es dames en hiere oonderein aofspreke veur de aander zien artikele te goon leze. Daan kin eint vaan de bezwoere tege 't wèrke aon de Limbörgse Wikipedia - 't geveul tot me, op z'ch Jiddisch gezag, veur koefnoen zit te sjrieve - al e bitteke weure opgeheve, en dat garandeert direk tot me ziech oonderein controleert op kwaliteit vaan vörm en inhaajd. ⵙⵜⴰⵢⵏⴱⴰⵅ 15 nov 2011 12:28 (CET)

Iech wèl miech neet aon zoe'nen aofspraak commitere. Iech lees wel (bijnao) alles wat gesjreve weurt, mer iech kin neet belaove tot iech eder week get gaon sjrieve. 't Is op dit momint helaas neet aanders. Mesjiens tot iech binnekort mie tied höb.

Inderdaad, ich laes zowiezo alle pagina's die mit taal te maken höbben en ouch alle anonieme biedrages. Mer ein artikel inne waek det kin ouch ónneet belaove.

Jao 'n riechlien, dat is wel 't idee. Meh es iech dat vaan Mofert al oets gezag höb, daan lèkste noe mien wäörd verkierd oet.

Good, 'n richlien mót waal te doon zeen - althans veur mich, ich kin netuurlik neet veur anger luuj spraeke. Doe bös neet d'n ènsigste dae dao get euver gezag haet, daoróm höb ich neet specifiek diene naam geneump.

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 15 jan 2012 17:21 (CET)

Language support group for Limburgish

The Wikimedia Foundation has brought together a new team of developers who are dedicated to language support. This team is to support all the languages and consequently it is not realistic to expect that the team members can provide proper support for your language. It is for this reason that we are looking for volunteers who will make up a language support team.

This language support team will be asked to provide us with information about their language. Such information may need to be provided either to us or on a website that we will indicate to you. Another activity will be to test software that will likely have an effect on the running of the MediaWiki software. We are looking for people who clearly identify their ability. Formal knowledge is definitely appreciated.

As much of the activity will be concentrated on translatewiki.net, it will be a plus when team members know how to localise at translatewiki.net.

MediaWiki 1.19

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.) The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to upgrade MediaWiki (the software powering this wiki) to its latest version this month. You can help to test it before it is enabled, to avoid disruption and breakage. More information is available in the full announcement. Thank you for your understanding.

Um te beginne kin in oetzunderingsgevalle de -t wel blieve stoon; dit liek m'ch zoe eint.

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 5 jun 2012 20:28 (CEST)

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.

More opportunities for you to access free research databases

The quest to get editors free access to the sources they need is gaining momentum.

• Credo Reference provides full-text online versions of nearly 1200 published reference works from more than 70 publishers in every major subject, including general and subject dictionaries and encyclopedias. There are 125 full Credo 350 accounts available, with access even to 100 more references works than in Credo's original donation. All you need is a 1-year old account with 1000 edits. Sign up here.
• HighBeam Research has access to over 80 million articles from 6,500 publications including newspapers, magazines, academic journals, newswires, trade magazines and encyclopedias. Thousands of new articles are added daily, and archives date back over 25 years covering a wide range of subjects and industries. There are 250 full access 1-year accounts available. All you need is a 1-year old account with 1000 edits. Sign up here.
• Questia is an online research library for books and journal articles focusing on the humanities and social sciences. Questia has curated titles from over 300 trusted publishers including 77,000 full-text books and 4 million journal, magazine, and newspaper articles, as well as encyclopedia entries. There will soon be 1000 full access 1-year accounts available. All you need is a 1-year old account with 1000 edits. Sign up here.

You might also be interested in the idea to create a central Wikipedia Library where approved editors would have access to all participating resource donors.

Request for Comment: Legal Fees Assistance Program

I apologize for addressing you in English. I would be grateful if you could translate this message into your language.

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a request for comment on a proposed program that could provide legal assistance to users in specific support roles who are named in a legal complaint as a defendant because of those roles. We wanted to be sure that your community was aware of this discussion and would have a chance to participate in that discussion.

If this page is not the best place to publicize this request for comment, please help spread the word to those who may be interested in participating. (If you'd like to help translating the "request for comment", program policy or other pages into your language and don't know how the translation system works, please come by my user talk page at m:User talk:Mdennis (WMF). I'll be happy to assist or to connect you with a volunteer who can assist.)

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!

Wikimedia sites to move to primary data center in Ashburn, Virginia. Read-only mode expected.

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.) Next week, the Wikimedia Foundation will transition its main technical operations to a new data center in Ashburn, Virginia, USA. This is intended to improve the technical performance and reliability of all Wikimedia sites, including this wiki. There will be some times when the site will be in read-only mode, and there may be full outages; the current target windows for the migration are January 22nd, 23rd and 24th, 2013, from 17:00 to 01:00 UTC (see other timezones on timeanddate.com). More information is available in the full announcement.

If you would like to stay informed of future technical upgrades, consider becoming a Tech ambassador and joining the ambassadors mailing list. You will be able to help your fellow Wikimedians have a voice in technical discussions and be notified of important decisions.

Thank you for your help and your understanding.

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.

Updating the logo for this wiki

New logo

Hello! As part of the update of Wikipedias logos to the new (2010) 3D puzzle globe version, we have noticed that your wiki's current logo is missing, outdated or with wrong translation. We are trying to help Wikipedias get a locally-adapted correct logo, by taking the technical difficulties on us, and in about a week from now we'll be replacing the current logo with the new one shown in this gallery, with explanation. If the translation is wrong, or there's another error in the new logo, or the community disagrees with the update, please update the list of logos or tell us on its talk. Feel free to translate this message and to move/copy/forward it where appropriate. Thanks, Nemo 11 mrt 2013 14:42 (CET)

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.

De Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland ondersteunt onder andere het werk van de vrijwilligers die op Wikipedia of een van de zusterprojecten daarvan actief zijn.
Heb jij ideeën over wat Wikimedia Nederland wel of niet zou moeten doen? Wil jij invloed uitoefenen op wat Wikimedia Nederland wel of niet doet en waar Wikimedia Nederland geld aan uit geeft?
Een half jaar geleden is het jaarplan en de begroting van Wikimedia Nederland (WMNL) voor het jaar 2013 vastgesteld door de Algemene Ledenvergadering (ALV). Op basis daarvan is een subsidie aangevraagd bij de Funds Dissemination Committee (FDC) van de Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) middels een proposal form. De board van de WMF heeft de aanvraag gedeeltelijk toegekend in overeenstemming met de aanbeveling van de FDC.
Over een half jaar, dat is voor 1 oktober 2013, dient WMNL een proposal form bij de FDC in te dienen voor het jaar 2014. Net als vorig jaar wil WMNL dat doen op basis van een door de leden tijdens een ALV vastgesteld jaarplan en begroting. Tijdens de ALV van 23 maart 2013 is de volgende motie vastgesteld: "Het begrotingsproces dient zoveel mogelijk open en transparant te verlopen. Leden worden, zowel aan aan het begin van als gedurende het proces om tot een ontwerpbegroting te komen, om hun input gevraagd en actief betrokken," zie daarvoor ook de concept-notulen van de ALV 23 maart 2013. Op WikiZaterdag 4 mei 2013 presenteren de onderzoekers van Motivaction de resultaten van een survey gehouden onder gebruikers van Wikipedia. Dat onderzoek en de discussie daarover zal mede input zijn voor jaarplan 2014. Kom ook, en discussieer mee!
De pagina jaarplan 2014 op de wiki van de vereniging staat open voor ieders bijdragen met ideeën over wat WMNL wel of niet zou moeten doen in het jaar 2014. Wat wil jij bijdragen aan het bereiken van de missie van de Wikimedia beweging? Hoe kan de Vereniging Wikimedia Nederland jou daar bij ondersteunen? Laat daar van je horen.

Wikidata phase 2 (infoboxes) coming to this Wikipedia

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

A while ago the first phase of Wikidata was enabled on this Wikipedia. This means you are getting the language links in each article from Wikidata. It is soon time to enable the second phase of Wikidata (infoboxes) here. We have already done this on the [first 11 Wikipedias] (it, he, hu, ru, tr, uk, uz, hr, bs, sr, sh) and things are looking good. The next step is English Wikipedia. This is planned for April 8. If everything works out fine we will deploy on all remaining Wikipedias on April 10. I will update this part of the FAQ if there are any issues forcing us to change this date. I will also sent another note to this village pump once the deployment is finished.

What will happen once we have phase 2 enabled here? Once it is enabled in a few days you will be able to make use of the structured data that is available on Wikidata in your articles/infoboxes. It includes things like the symbol for a chemical element, the ISBN for a book or the top level domain of a country. (None of this will happen automatically. Someone will have to change the article or infobox template for this to happen!)

How will this work? There are two ways to access the data:

• Use a parser function like {{#property:p169}} in the wiki text of the article on Yahoo!. This will return “Marissa Mayer” as she is the chief executive officer of the company.
• For more complicated things you can use Lua. The documentation for this is here.

We are working on expanding the parser function so you can for example use {{#property:chief executive officer}} instead of {{#property:p169}}. The complete plan for this is here.

Where can I test this? You can already test it on test2.

Where can I find more information and ask questions? We have collected the main questions in an FAQ for this deployment. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ’s discussion page.

Hallo!

Er is een nieuw voorstel gedaan op Meta-wiki over de verwijdering van moderatorrechten van Wikimedianen die langdurig inactief zijn. Algemeen gezien geldt dit voorstel alleen voor wiki's die geen procedures hebben waarin de moderatoren worden geëvalueerd.

We stellen ook een lijst van projecten samen waarop reeds procedures bestaan om inactieve moderatoren te verwijderen. Voel u vrij om uw project(en) aan de lijst toe te voegen als er een beleid bestaat voor inactieve moderatoren.

Alle input is van harte welkom. De discussie kan reeds op 17 mei 2013 (2013-05-17) worden afgerond, maar zal indien nodig worden verlengd.

Wikidata phase 2 (infoboxes) is here

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

A while ago the first phase of Wikidata was enabled on this Wikipedia. This means you are getting the language links in each article from Wikidata. We have now enabled the second phase of Wikidata (infoboxes) here. We have already done this on the [first 11 Wikipedias] (it, he, hu, ru, tr, uk, uz, hr, bs, sr, sh) a month ago and two days ago on the English Wikipedia. Today all the remaining Wikipedias followed.

What does having phase 2 enabled here mean? You are now able to make use of the structured data that is available on Wikidata in your articles/infoboxes. It includes things like the symbol for a chemical element, the ISBN for a book or the top level domain of a country. (None of this will happen automatically. Someone will have to change the article or infobox template for this to happen!) The current state is just the beginning though. It will be extended based on feedback we get from you now.

How will this work? There are two ways to access the data:

• Use a parser function like {{#property:p159}} in the wiki text of the article on Wikimedia Foundation. This will return “San Francisco” as that is the headquarter location of the non-profit.
• For more complicated things you can use Lua. The documentation for this is here.

We are working on expanding the parser function so you can for example use {{#property:headquarter location}} instead of {{#property:p159}}. The complete plan for this is here.

Where can I test this? You can test it on test2 if you don't want to do it in an article here.

Where can I find more information and ask questions? We have collected the main questions in 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 To stay up-to-date on everything happening around Wikidata please subscribe to the newsletter that is delivered weekly to subscribed user’s talk pages.

We are excited about taking yet another step towards allowing all Wikipedias share structured data and collect and curate it together. --Lydia Pintscher 24 apr 2013 21:13 (CEST)

[en] Change to wiki account system and account renaming

Some accounts will soon be renamed due to a technical change that the developer team at Wikimedia are making. More details on Meta.

(Distributed via global message delivery 30 apr 2013 05:52 (CEST). Wrong page? Correct it here.)

[en] Change to section edit links

The default position of the "edit" link in page section headers is going to change soon. The "edit" link will be positioned adjacent to the page header text rather than floating opposite it.

Section edit links will be to the immediate right of section titles, instead of on the far right. If you're an editor of one of the wikis which already implemented this change, nothing will substantially change for you; however, scripts and gadgets depending on the previous implementation of section edit links will have to be adjusted to continue working; however, nothing else should break even if they are not updated in time.

Detailed information and a timeline is available on meta.

Ideas to do this all the way to 2009 at least. It is often difficult to track which of several potential section edit links on the far right is associated with the correct section, and many readers and anonymous or new editors may even be failing to notice section edit links at all, since they read section titles, which are far away from the links.
