Invitation to attend “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter” Sessions
[edit]
Hello all,
During the 2022 Wikimedia Summit, the Movement Charter Drafting Committee (MCDC) presented the first outline of the Movement Charter, giving a glimpse on the direction of its future work, and the Charter itself. The MCDC then integrated the initial feedback collected during the Summit. Before proceeding with writing the Charter for the whole Movement, the MCDC wants to interact with community members and gather feedback on the drafts of the three sections: Preamble, Values & Principles, and Roles & Responsibilities (intentions statement). The Movement Charter drafts will be available on the Meta page here on November 14, 2022. Community wide consultation period on MC will take place from November 20 to December 18, 2022. Learn more about it here.
With the goal of ensuring that people are well informed to fully participate in the conversations and are empowered to contribute their perspective on the Movement Charter, three “Ask Me Anything about Movement Charter" sessions have been scheduled in different time zones. Everyone in the Wikimedia Movement is invited to attend these conversations. The aim is to learn about Movement Charter - its goal, purpose, why it matters, and how it impacts your community. MCDC members will attend these sessions to answer your questions and hear community feedback.
The “Ask Me Anything” sessions accommodate communities from different time zones. Only the presentation of the session is recorded and shared afterwards, no recording of conversations. Below is the list of planned events:
- Asia/Pacific: November 4, 2022 at 09:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Chinese and Japanese.
- Europe/MENA/Sub Saharan Africa: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Arabic, French and Russian.
- North and South America/ Western Europe: November 12, 2022 at 15:00 UTC (your local time). Interpretation is available in Spanish and Portuguese.
On the Meta page you will find more details; Zoom links will be shared 48 hours ahead of the call.
Call for Movement Charter Ambassadors
Individuals or groups from all communities who wish to help include and start conversations in their communities on the Movement Charter are encouraged to become Movement Charter Ambassadors (MC Ambassadors). MC Ambassadors will carry out their own activities and get financial support for enabling conversations in their own languages. Regional facilitators from the Movement Strategy and Governance team are available to support applicants with MC Ambassadors grantmaking. If you are interested please sign up here. Should you have specific questions, please reach out to the MSG team via email: strategy2030@wikimedia.org or on the MS forum.
We thank you for your time and participation.

I found very nice to indicate "true" or "false" using the appearance adopted on the article MediaWiki 1.38
*******
This setting may now be set to false to disable size checking before scaling
**************
T:26.......nice and readable
What do you think to replicate the same appearance here?
It seems some parts inside the section T:23 are not marked for translation

- I think its fine to use <code> to denote things typed into config files. Feel free to update the page. Bawolff (talk) 13:47, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

T:105 says:
But only signed-up users can upload files or rename pages.
I am not sure these statement is correct. For instance I am an autoconfirmed-user but I can't upload an article translated off-line, right? How an autoconfirmed-user can become a normal user or admin ? Is there a process, an exam to overcome? At this point I would be curious an interested. Regards GpieroMW (talk) 18:03, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
- “Files” are not articles translated off-line, but (mainly media) files that are handled separately and don’t become integral parts of articles. Also, file uploads can be further restricted (as is the case on mediawiki.org, as files used here should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons), but an out-of-the-box wiki does allow uploads to all autoconfirmed users. (Please note that the documentation on mediawiki.org is mainly not about how this particular wiki works, but how a general/default wiki works.) Tacsipacsi (talk) 19:17, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello everybody! Here is the translation of some items in the Sidebar to Slovenian and I'd kindly ask that someone implements it.
*Get MediaWiki = Pridobi MediaWiki *Get extensions = Pridobi razširitve *Tech blog = Tehnični blog *Contribute = Prispevaj Support = Podpora *FAQ = Pogosta vprašanja *Technical manual = Tehnični priročnik *Support desk = Forum za pomoč *Communication = Stik z nami Development = Razvoj *Developer portal = Portal razvijalcev *Code statistics = Statistika kode Mediawiki.org Translate content = Prevajaj vsebino Village pump = Projektni klepet
The rest has been localized on translatewiki.net.
Thank you. TadejM (talk) 01:24, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
- I don’t know if it affects the sidebar, but other translation-related things (e.g. {{Uselang}}) would definitely also need that someone creates MediaWiki:lang/sl with the content
