Vikipedijos forume galima diskutuoti su kitais projekto dalyviais apie Vikipedijos projekt? visais jums rūpimais klausimais, ypa? susijusiais su Vikipedijos vidaus tvarka. Forumas n?ra skirtas pagalbos d?l naudojimosi Vikipedija pra?ymams (tam galima pasinaudoti puslapiu Vikipedija:Pagalbos biuras) ar klausimams apie dalykus, nesusijusius su Vikipedija (tam galima pasinaudoti puslapiu Vikipedija:Informacijos biuras).

Kaip ?inia, Vikimedijos Fondas visaip bando skatinti naujok? ?sitraukim?: atsirado ?newbie tasks“, galima tapti mentoriais (norin?i? neatsirado). Kiek per?iūr?jau pastaruoju metu naujai u?siregistravusi? naudotoj? sukurtus straipsnelius, tai tenka konstatuoti, kad situacija prasta: beveik visus teko i?trinti. Da?nai ?keliama ka?kas visai neri?laus, automatiniai vertimai, dalis naujok? – reklam??ikai, ra?antys ne savo iniciatyva.
Pvz.: ?Ji vienija gerbiamus Europos reumatologijos specialistus ir susijusius sritis, taip pat medicinos ir pacient? organizacijas skirtingose ?alyse. Lietuvoje tai Lietuvos artrito asociacija. ?i organizacija buvo ?kūr? 1947 metais ir turi būst? Curyche, ?veicarijoje. Ji i?leid?ia rekomenduojamus reumatini? lig? diagnostikos ir gydymo metodus, kurie publikuojami ?urnale Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.“, ?Stov?damas 1,87 m (6 p?dos 1+1?2 colio) auk?tyje, jis ?aid?ia abiejose sargybos pozicijose.“, ?Iki 1918 m. Kuk karo laivynas ir toliau naudojo Austrijos v?liav?, kuri? naudojo nuo 1786 m., o kuk armijos pulkai naudojo dvigubus erelius turin?ias v?liavas, kurias naudojo prie? 1867 m., nes jie tur?jo ilg? istorij?. (daugeliu atvej?)“. Tas pats ir su kai kuriais papildymais, vien ko vertas ?is: ?Yra Vokie?i? Senosios Kari? Kapin?s, Kurie Palaidoti Pirmaja Pasaulin? Kar?, ir Naujakaimio K. Gyv.“ (?r. [1]).
Kartais visi?kai n?ra supratimo apie enciklopedin? stili?: ?Buvo ne?tik?tin?, neeilini? muzikini? gabum?. Anot pa?ios pateik?jos ir kaimo ?moni?, jokios ?vent?s – nei vestuv?s, nei krik?tynos be jos giesmi? nepraeidavo.“, ??i dainuojamosios tautosakos pateik?ja ir neeilinio talento daininink? bei jos muzikinis palikimas ?iandien mylimas tradicin?s muzikos entuziast?, ypa? ? dainuojamojo folkloro subtilybes besigilinan?i? atlik?j?.“.
Kaip sakoma, naujok? reikia nekand?ioti, bet nematau, k? būt? galima padaryti, jei ?mogus nelabai, o kartais, deja, visi?kai, nera?tingas. Visgi Vikipedija n?ra ugdymo ?staiga. Būna ir toki?, kurie ra?tingi, lyg ir nor?t? prisid?ti, bet neturi kantryb?s pasigilinti, kaip ?ia kas (galim prisiminti ?Marius_Pūkis“, dabar jau ?Vanished user jbhgtyDfJxSSchbmvPtx“). Ra?omi neri?lūs straipsneliai, prasti vertimai, reklamos – ne naujiena, gerai pamenu, kad to netrūko ir 2008 m. Bet per t? laik? ?is tas pasikeit?: paplito i?manieji ?renginiai, Vikipedijoje atsirado vertimo ?rankis. Jei dauguma skaitytoj? Vikipedij? nar?o mobiliaisiais ?renginiais, tai tas ?sitraukti nepadeda, ra?yti straipsnius jais n?ra labai patogu. --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 18:30, 14 baland?io 2024 (EEST)Atsakyti
Seniai kirba mintis, kada bet kuris naujokas gal?t? vikizuoti savo tekst? tik skliaustais [[]], nesukdamas galvos, ar tai vardininkas, kaip EN viki: pvz., ?iuose [[namuose]], o ne [[namas|namuose]]. Kur DI ar i?manioji gūgl?, k? (ne)daro Viki fondas, kad pagelb?ti tokioms linksniuotin?ms kalboms? --Vilensija (aptarimas) 19:09, 14 baland?io 2024 (EEST)Atsakyti
Nelabai ?sivaizduoju, kaip tas linksni? klausimas automati?kai būt? i?spr?stas. Juk neretu atveju linksni? formos gali sutapti su kito straipsnio pavadinimu (pvz., damas, salas). Bet ?ia ma?iausia b?da - vikizuoti galime ir mes, bet kad būt? k?. Para?yti tvarking? straipsn? reikia i?silavinimo, kantryb?s, atidumo, gero kalbos mok?jimo. Dabar tie dalykai spar?iai fragmentuojasi. Ma?esni? Azijos, Afrikos kalb? vikipedijose, pasteb?jau, jau ima ?sigal?ti autovertimai. Ne?inau, kiek jie tikslūs, bet nepana?u, kad jie būt? nors kiek redaguojami (pvz., bcl:Vitorio Sorotik, yo:Adijat Gbadamosi). Hugo.arg (aptarimas) 20:34, 14 baland?io 2024 (EEST)Atsakyti
K? būt? galima padaryti, tai sukurti pagalbos puslap?, paai?kinant?, kaip naudotis vizualiuoju redaktoriumi. Vikitekstas naujokams, matyt, da?nai atrodo bauginamai. Gal dar koks ra?in?lis apie da?niausiai pasitaikan?ias klaidas praverst? (pagrinde, to pasekoje ir pan.). Na, bet kai kurie naujokai net ne?ino, kada ra?oma did?ioji raid?, tai tokiems nepad?s. Taip, kai kurie gal vaikai, bet tokius elementarius dalykus ir vaikai tur?t? mok?ti. K? tada mokykloje veikia? Autovertimai net ir didesni? vikipedij? b?da. Atsiver?iau vakar ro:Kenorland, o ten nuorodose puikuojasi Google Translate. Ispani?koje ?mestas nevikizuotas teksto gabalas, pana?u, autovertimas (es:Kenorland). Gerai, ?ia gan specifin? tema, sakykim, praslydo, bet Afrika tikrai ne, o ten ilgi nevikizuoti teksto gabalai (ro:Africa). Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 10:56, 15 baland?io 2024 (EEST)Atsakyti
Kai kurios smulkios naujov?s, saky?iau, visai pasiteisino (pvz., ?atsakyti“). Ka?kaip sunkiai sekdavosi naujokams pasira?yti, o dabar anon d?lioti tenka re?iau. U?metus ak? ? kitas ma?esnes wiki, susidaro ?spūdis, kad irgi n?ra stebukl? su naujok? pritraukimu. Pvz., da:Speciel:Nye_sider: ?tampuojama nema?ai trump? straipsneli? (da:Kobe Goossens, da:Scott Weinger), vienas rusas reguliariai kepa ?abloninius vieno sakinio straipsniukus. Pas latvius, kaip ir ?ia, matosi, kad nema?ai dalyvi?, redaguojan?i? jau keliolika met?, nors naujok? gal kiek daugiau. Turi ir ?met? naujoko apdovanojim?“ (lv:Dalībnieks:Votre Provocateur). Na, bet kas tinka ten, nebūtinai tinka ?ia, pas mus ordinai jau senokai i??j? i? mados. Ten ir nuotrauk? kai kurie prisid?j?, o ?ia tas būt? sunkiai ?sivaizduojama. --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 20:05, 17 baland?io 2024 (EEST)Atsakyti
@Homo ergaster: Man atrodo techniniai aspektai yra antraeil? problema. Keletas id?j?:
Tur?ti paprastai, ai?kiai ir glaustai apra?yt? ?vad? apie tai, kaip ra?yti straipsnius. Pateikiant vizualiai, su iliustracijomis. ?iuo metu esantis Pagalba:Kaip kurti puslapius gal?t? būti perdarytas. I? glausto ?vado galima pateikti nuorodas ? i?samesnes gaires konkre?iais klausimais: tie kurie susidom?s, sugeb?s perskaityti bei i?siai?kinti techninius aspektus, taisykles ir kitas detales.
Paai?kinti, pabr??ti ir dar tris kartus pakartoti, kad Vikipedijos ra?ymas – tai vis? pirma yra darbas su ?altiniais. Saky?iau, didesn?s apimties naujo straipsnio ra?ymas, jei taip grubiai, yra ma?daug: 50% darbas su ?altiniais (paie?ka, per?iūra, atranka, skaitymas, faktin?s informacijos susirinkimas, pvz. esmini? teigini?, skai?i?, citat?); 30-40% redagavimas (formuluo?i? parinkimas, klaid? taisymas, i?na?? d?liojimas ir formatavimas); ir gal tik 10-20% turinio apgalvojimas (struktūra, kaip tai apra?yti bei i?d?styti, kokie yra pagrindiniai po?iūriai ir kokius jiems svorius suteikti). ?inoma, proporcijos priklauso nuo temos bei to kiek redaktorius i?mano t? tem?, o ma?os apimtiems straipsniams u?tenka keli? ger? ?altini?. Ta?iau pana?u, kad yra labai daug ?sivaizduojan?i? jog enciklopedijos ra?ymas yra savo "i?manymo" tam tikra tema perteikimas. Ma?daug: gerai ?inau kaip sodinti agurkus, tai va, apra?ysiu; o ten kokio ?altinio prid?jimas tai tiesiog, kad būt? galima daugiau paskaityt. Ties? sakant dar yra senbuvi?, kurie nevisi?kai ?sisavin? fundamental? princip?, kad Vikipedija ra?oma remiantis patikimais ?altiniais (o tai – darbas su ?altiniais). Tai tur?t? būti paai?kinta, pakartota ir i?ai?kinta kiekvienam redaktoriui.
?gyvendinus pirmus du punktus, būt? galima karts nuo karto pagrindiniame Vikipedijos puslapyje publikuoti kvietim? tapt redaktoriais, pvz. kart? per m?nes? pakeist vis? pagrindinio puslapio turin? ?inute "Kvie?iame prisid?ti prie Vikipedijos – tapkite redaktoriumi" ar pana?iai. Tai reklama, marketingas. Ta?iau galbūt dal? lankytoj? sudomins.
Vis d?lto, lietuvi? kalbos vartotoj? skai?ius ma?as, tad informacin? erdv? ma?a. Be to, nebūt? keista jei didesn? dalis jaunosios kartos renkasi (arba vis da?niau renkasi) skaityti angli?k?j? Wikipedia. Tad galimyb?s pritraukti nauj? redaktori? tiesiog atsiremia ? ?i? realyb?.
P.S. Autovert?j? apskritai reik?t? i?jungt ar bent jau u?sl?pt; jis tik skatina neri?li?, bevilti?k? straipsni? atsiradim?.
Atnaujintas ?vadas, manau, praverst?, esamas neatnaujintas, berods, nuo 2011 m. Reik?t? pasukti galv?, kaip tai suprantamai perteikti. Naujokams automati?kai būna pridedamas "Sveiki" ?ablonas su nuorodomis ? pagalbos puslapius, taisykles. Kiek i? j? pasigilina, kitas klausimas.
Pas mus ir pagrindiniame puslapyje ilg? laik? buvo para?yta ?pasidalink savo ?iniomis su pasauliu!“ (?r. [2]). Pakeit?me tik prie? 3 metus, atnaujindami dizain?. Koks ?altinis patikimas, koks ne, kartais ?sisavinti u?trunka ilgai. Būna, kad ir visokius forumus pacituoja (toli gra?u ne naujokai). Kai kurie dalykai tur?t? būti ai?kūs, net ir nepasigilinus ? Vikipedijos tvark?. Neseniai vienas dalyvis band? pasiremti Pi?elio ??emaitija“. Na, tai ?ia jau tur?t? u?tekti bent ?iokio tokio kritinio m?stymo, kad suprastum, ko verta tokia knygut?. Apskritai pas mus daugiausia ra?oma lengvesn?mis temomis: geografija, sportas, atlik?jai, albumai, aktoriai, filmai ir pan.
D?l to vert?jo buvo prie? 2-3 m. diskusija, kreip?si pra?ydami atsiliepim?, nes statisti?kai i?triname daugiau taip sukurt? straipsni?. Buvo ra?yta, kad geriausia, jog pagal nutyl?jim? būt? i?jungtas, bet niekas nepasikeit?. Ka?in ar galime patys j? ka?kaip pasl?pti. Nubalsavus gal ir sutikt? i?jungti. Saky?iau, pabandyti galima.
?vad? reik?t? pertvarkyti i? esm?s. Verta pasteb?ti, kad ?odis "?altinis" jame pamin?tas vien? (!) kart?, nors tai tur?t? būti esm?.
D?l prane?imo pagrindiniame puslapyje siūly?iau i?bandyti stipresn? metod?: i?imt vis? pagrindinio puslapio turin? ir palikt tik kvietim?. Neda?nai ir neilgam, sakykim kart? per m?nes?, ar savaitei kas tris m?nesius. Wikipedia/Wikimedia juk vykdo ir gerokai agresyvesnes kampanijas, pvz. gan?tinai ?kyriom formom paaukoti; jau nekalbant apie radikal? Wikipedia blackout (u?temim?), jei pamenant 2012-us metus [3].
D?l tem?, ?inoma, liūdnoka. Lietuvi?koji Vikipedija gali tur?ti reik?ming? vert? bendrin?mis/pagrindin?mis gamtos moksl? ir istorijos temomis kaip ?altinis vyresni? klasi? moksleiviams ir abiturientams, kurie domisi, bet galbūt dar nepakankamai gerai skaito angli?kai. Galbūt dar medicinos temomis, pvz. apra?ant ligas bei medicinines būkles (galima sakyti, sudarant lig? duomen? baz?), ta?iau tarp redaktori? der?t? tur?ti bent kelis medikus, kurie u?siimt? bent ?iokiu tokiu recenzavimu. Be abejo, universitetinio lygio, ekspertin?se, specializuotose ar ni?in?se temose konkuruoti su angli?ka Wikipedia yra visi?kai nerealu.

Prie?. Suprantu, kad vargina trinti prastus autovertimus, ta?iau ?is ?rankis gali labai pagelb?ti ver?iant, pvz., straipsnius su ?ablonais ir su gausiomis citatomis.

?domi diskusija duotame pavyzdyje d?l autovertim? i?jungimo indonezieti?koje vikipedijoje. Nors visi naudotojai ?tikinamai tvirtino, kad i? to autovertimo jokios naudos, ir tik papildoma na?ta administratoriams juos taisyti/su?ym?ti/trinti, Vikimedijos atstovas atkakliai nesiteik? jo i?jungti, o vis band? ?tikinti, kad ka?kiek procent? yra ger? autovertim?, tod?l jokiu būdu negalima jo i?jungti.

Kad vien balsavimo neu?teks, reik?s dar ?tikin?ti, manau, galime i? anksto nusiteikti. Koks j? po?iūris, galima susipa?inti dar ir ?ia.

@Makenzis: Abejotinus teiginius, kurie remiasi nepatikimais ?altiniais, galite dr?siai trinti ir reikalauti pateikti patikimus ?altinius (VP:VERI). Tai nerei?kia, kad visi rusi?ki ?altiniai yra nepatikimi (priklauso nuo temos, konteksto ir t.t.), bet dabartinis vaizdas yra daugiau nei apgail?tinas.
Angli?koje Wikipedia politin?mis temomis bandoma paveikti straipsnius reguliariai. Ypa? karo prad?ioje buvo daug bandym? i?kreipti en:Russian invasion of Ukraine (taip pat ir susijusius straipsnius), prie kurio teko svariai prisid?ti. Galiausiai Roskomnadzoras ?? straipsn? u?blokavo. Garbingas ?vertinimas.

Blogai tai, kad, mano supratimu, taip ydingai skatinamas straipsni? kūrimas ne?dedant pastang?, keliais mygtuko paspaudimais, o vertimas – nelengvas darbas. Geriau jau naujokai da?niau pasiremt? ?altiniais lietuvi? kalba. Visgi norima greit? rezultat? ir da?nai viskas baigiasi tuo, kad ri?laus teksto taip ir nesukuria.

The Appearance menu and new default standard font size will be available for logged-out users
Sveiki. We are the Wikimedia Foundation Web team.
We work on making it easier to read Wikimedia projects as part of the objective "Reading and media experience" of the current year’s annual plan. To achieve this goal, we have introduced the "Accessibility for Reading" beta feature. It adds a menu which works on the Vector 2022 skin and allows logged-in users to choose different font sizes and color schemes based on individual needs.
The menu introduces a new Standard font setting. It slightly increases the size and height of the font. It was selected based on multiple sources. You will find more information on this in the section "About the new Standard font setting". We are now ready to begin bringing some of these feature out of beta and making them available to more people.
What will change
We are now ready to make the new Appearance menu available for logged-out and logged-in users.
At the same time, we will also make the Standard option the new default for logged-out users only.
If no breaking technical issues are found, we plan on making this change within the next three weeks.
Later, this menu will also include the option to select dark mode, which for the time being will remain a beta feature. For more information, check out our project page.
About the menu
The new menu will allow logged-in and logged-out users to set preferences for:
Text size and line height (available now as the beta feature): Users will be able to choose between the Small (current default), Standard (recommended for better accessibility), and Large options. Selecting an option will change both the font size and line height of the text.
Dark mode (available now as the beta feature): Users will be able to choose to see the site in night mode on a permanent basis, or select an "automatic" setting which will set day or night mode based on the device or browser preferences.
Content width (previously available as a toggle button): We have moved the content width toggle from an icon at the bottom of the page to a labeled radio button in the new menu. It will work exactly the same as the toggle. The previous toggle button will no longer be available.
This menu has been tested as a beta feature by logged-in users across wikis as well as in user testing with readers. Based on the findings of these tests, we changed the menu to improve discoverability and ease of use, and to accommodate gadget compatibility.
The menu will appear to the right of the page, immediately under the Tools menu if that has been pinned. Unlike the Tools menu, the Appearance menu is pinned by default, but can be unpinned. Once unpinned, it collapses under an icon at the top of the page.
About the new Standard font setting
The "Small" option is the current default. We will be changing this default to "Standard" for logged-out users, while keeping "Small" as the default for logged-in users. The "Standard" and "Large" options were built and tested based on the following:
Academic studies and recommendations for the best average font size for the majority of readers. These recommendations stated that our current size is too small for the majority of people to read comfortably. This means that on average, people read more slowly, strain their eyes while reading, or have difficulty clearly seeing the text. Increasing the font size by default improves these issues for all users, including users who might not have sufficient time to spend adjusting a setting via the appearance menu or browser. Information density is also important, which is why we wanted to increase font size without sacrificing information density. We have achieved this by changing not only font size, but also line height and paragraph spacing.
Designs submitted by more than 630 Wikipedians from across 13 wikis of different languages, scripts, and sizes. The majority (~450) of these users opted for a font size that was larger than the default. "Standard" represents the average of the most popular cluster of responses (15-20 pixels). "Large" represents the need for an even larger option, as represented by the cluster of sizes between 21-26 pixels. You can read more on how we included volunteers in the process and landed on these options.
Beta feature usage showed that the majority of users who interact with the feature at least once opt for a font size that is larger than the current default.
Our works so far and next steps
Logged-in users will remain with the "small" setting for the time being as their default, but can change to any other setting at any time. In a few months, we will study how many logged-in users switch to standard and start a conversation on whether it makes sense for logged-in users to make the switch as well. From the early data from the beta feature, 55% of sessions who interacted with the feature chose to use a setting that was standard or larger.
If you'd like to help, we have a few simple requests for you:
Try out the new menu. Is anything confusing? Do you understand all the labels and how the menu works?
Try out the small, standard, and large sizes, the color schemes, and the width toggle. Reach out to us if you notice any bugs, or have questions or concerns.
You can find the details on this page, as well as the ways to give your feedback from today until the end of the day on June 23, 2024, anywhere on Earth.
You can also share information about this with the interested project communities you work with or support, and you can also help us translate the procedure into more languages, so people can join the discussions in their own language.

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)14:28, 22 spalio 2024 (EEST)Atsakyti

The Wikimedia Foundation Web team will be enabling dark mode here on your Wikipedia by February 2025 now that pages on your wiki have passed our checks for accessibility and other quality checks. Congratulations!
The plan to enable is made possible by the diligent work of editors and other technical contributors in your community who ensured that templates, gadgets, and other parts of pages can be accessible in dark mode. Thank you all for making dark mode available for everybody!
For context, the Web team has concluded work on dark mode. If, on some wikis, the option is not yet available for logged-out users, this is likely because many pages do not yet display well in dark mode. As communities make progress on this work, we enable this feature on additional wikis once per month.
If you notice any issues after enabling dark mode, please create a page: Reading/Web/Accessibility for reading/Reporting/xx.wikipedia.org in MediaWiki (like these pages), and report the issue in the created page.
My apologies for writing in English.
Pra?ome pad?ti i?versti ? jūs? kalb?.

You are humbly invited to organize the Feminism and Folklore 2025 writing competition from February 1, 2025, to March 31, 2025 on your local Wikipedia. This year, Feminism and Folklore will focus on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics for the project, with a Wiki Loves Folklore gender gap focus and a folk culture theme on Wikipedia.
You can help Wikipedia's coverage of folklore from your area by writing or improving articles about things like folk festivals, folk dances, folk music, women and queer folklore figures, folk game athletes, women in mythology, women warriors in folklore, witches and witch hunting, fairy tales, and more. Users can help create new articles, expand or translate from a generated list of suggested articles.
Organisers are requested to work on the following action items to sign up their communities for the project:
Create a page for the contest on the local wiki.
Set up a campaign on CampWiz tool.
Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes.
This year, the Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced two new tools to enhance support for the campaign. These tools include the Article List Generator by Topic and CampWiz. The Article List Generator by Topic enables users to identify articles on the English Wikipedia that are not present in their native language Wikipedia. Users can customize their selection criteria, and the tool will present a table showcasing the missing articles along with suggested titles. Additionally, users have the option to download the list in both CSV and wikitable formats. Notably, the CampWiz tool will be employed for the project for the first time, empowering users to effectively host the project with a jury. Both tools are now available for use in the campaign. Click here to access these tools

Buvo ?iokia tokia diskusija apie vidin? plagiat?, ??syk apie i?orin?. Galima nesunkiai pasteb?ti, kad Vikipedij? ramiausiai nusikopijuoja ir ?iniasklaidos priemon?s, da?nai neprid?damos ?Laisvojoje enciklopedijoje Vikipedijoje ra?oma“ (ka?ko daugiau nesitikiu), kartais net ir VLE (ai?ku, ?ymiai re?iau negu ?iniasklaida), Kultūros paveldo departamentas (pvz., [11], remiasi jie kartais ir MKE [12]), bibliotekos ir pan. Na, o paskui tie ?altiniai gali būti nurodyti ir pa?ioje Vikipedijoje, taip Vikipedija tampa ?altiniu pa?iai sau. Tokia naujesni? ?altini? problema (o jei remiasi wiki, tai, sp?ju, ir kitais nelabai patikimais internetiniais ?altiniais). D?l to, kad ?ia gali ra?yti bet kas, problemos ka?kaip nemato, gal nesuvokia, kad Vikipedij? redaguoti gali bet kas. Kaip ra?? viena student?, ?I? ties? tai iki tol net ne?inojau, kad galima patiems ra?yti Vikipedijoje [13].“ Tai, matyt, toki? bus ir daugiau. Kartais el. pa?tu para?antys ?sivaizduoja, kad ?ia dirba ka?kokie apmokami darbuotojai (ir ne kokiems dundukams taip atrodo). Toki? pasitaik? ne vienas ir ne du. Lyg ir yra para?yta juodu ant balto, kad ?kuriama daugyb?s savanori? bei i?laikoma i? paaukot? l???“, bet vis vien nesupranta. ?od?iu, ?iūri pakankamai nekriti?kai (kas kad galima rasti vaik? prira?in?ta apie pimpaliukus). Na, bet jei jau tokie akivaizdūs dalykai neai?kūs, nieko nepaveiksi. Many?iau, būt? gra?u, kad nors nurodyt? ?Laisvojoje enciklopedijoje Vikipedijoje ra?oma“, tuomet bent jau būt? ai?ku, kad tikrai r?m?si Vikipedija. --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 20:13, 31 sausio 2025 (EET)Atsakyti
Na, ?mon?s tokios jau būtyb?s, kad m?gsta pasilengvinti sau gyvenim?. Tik kad kopijuojant Vikipedij? daug nereikia, tiesiog nurodyti, kuo r?meisi. O kai reikia pa?ioje wiki ra?yti, tai jau reikia pasistengti, tik ar daug kas nor?s plu??ti be atlygio, ypa? ra?yti (savais ?od?iais) sunkiomis temomis?.. Net jei ir nori, nieko gero nei?eina. Pabando ?mesti kok? autovertim?, dabar jau ir DI (tuo pa?iu ir autovertim?) ir viskas, toliau n? i? vietos. --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 12:48, 4 vasario 2025 (EET)Atsakyti
Tai net kai teiginys būna ai?kiai nurodytas su ?altiniu, neretai gird?jau sakant kad "taip ir taip Vikipedija ra?o", nors ten autorius ir literatūra nurodyti. Tas pats ir su nuotraukomis, nupaveikslavau kaim? Kamarau?i?k?s, jau po savait?s ar dviej? ta nuotrauka "Merkio kra?te", ai?ku, nei ?altinis, nei autorius nenurodyti.

An improved dashboard for the Content Translation tool
Apologies as this message is not in your language, Pra?ome pad?ti i?versti ? jūs? kalb?.
The Language and Product Localization team has improved the Content Translation dashboard to create a consistent experience for all contributors using mobile and desktop devices. The improved translation dashboard allows all logged-in users of the tool to enjoy a consistent experience regardless of their type of device.
With a harmonized experience, logged-in desktop users now have access to the capabilities shown in the image below.
Notice that in this screenshot, the new dashboard allows: Users to adjust suggestions with the "For you" and "...More" buttons to select general topics or community-created collections (like the example of Climate topic). Also, users can use translation to create new articles (as before) and expand existing articles section by section. You can see how suggestions are provided in the new dashboard in two groups ("Create new pages" and "Expand with new sections")-one for each activity.In the current dashboard, you will notice that you can't adjust suggestions to select topics or community-created collections. Also, you can't expand on existing articles by translating new sections.
We will implement this improvement on your wiki on Monday, March 17th, 2025 and remove the current dashboard by May 2025.
Please reach out with any questions concerning the dashboard in this thread.
Thank you!

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 19 March 2025.
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.
The proposed modifications to the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines and the U4C Charter are now on Meta-wiki for community notice in advance of the voting period.

We plan to bring this feature to Wikimedia wikis later this year. We’ll reach out to wikis for piloting in time for deployments. Creators and maintainers of reference-related tools and templates will be contacted beforehand as well.
Thank you very much for your support and encouragement so far in helping bring this feature to life!
Hi all! We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them.
As you probably know, the old Graph extension was disabled in 2023 due to security reasons. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the Charts extension, which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the EasyTimeline extension.
After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki.
The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from May 6. Please, consult our page on MediaWiki.org to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also consult the documentation about the extension on MediaWiki.org.
If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org, or ping me directly under this thread. If you encounter issues using Charts once it gets enabled on your wiki, please report it on the talk page or at Phabricator.
a? noriu draugi?kai padiskutuoti ir paklausti, kod?l straipsnyje apie homoseksualum? n?ra priimta ra?yti apie tai, kad yra krūvos pedofil?, kurie tvirkina t? pa?i? lyt? (pavyzdys: K. Barto?evi?ius, kuris tvirkino berniuk? choro narius), ta?iau yra visi?kai priimtina ? straipsn? apie nesavanori?k? celibat? sud?ti informacij? apie bendruomenes, kaltinamas terorizmo skatinimu? Gal galite man pra?au paai?kinti, nes a? nesuprantu logikos.
Taip pat kas lie?ia ?ias temas pasteb?jau tikrai prast? straipsni? kokyb?. Nor??iau juos pagerinti, ta?iau ?iuo metu laisvo laiko tam turiu labai ma?ai. Ka?kod?l trinate naujok? straipsnius, ?ra?us ir pan. Gal gal?tum?te pra?au pla?iau apra?yti Vikipedijos standartus, kad a? gal??iau ateityje straipsnius pataisyti tinkamai? Turiu omenyje tokius dalykus, kaip, pvz.: apie meil?s drovum? yra pateikiamas tik vieno autoriaus teorija apie vyrus, ta?iau visi?kai n?ra kalbama apie moteris (ir straipsnyje labai pasikartoja, kad yra kalbama būtent apie vyrus) ir pan.
Turint omenyje, kad apie lietuvi?k? Vikipedij? ?mon?s da?nai atsiliepia neigiamai, kad ji yra neinformatyvi, galbūt nereik?t? trinti tiek daug naujok? straipsni?, jeigu būt? duodamas atgalinis ry?ys d?l reikaling? pataisym? ir būt? labai ai?kūs kriterijai, kaip informacijos pateikimas turi atrodyti.
A?iū, kad i?klaus?te ir taip pat labai lauksiu loginio paai?kinimo d?l mano pirmos pastraipos, nes savo aplinkoje turiu/tur?jau vir? 10 gyvenan?i? nesavanori?kame celibate ir terorist? jie neprimin?. Labasaskrabas (aptarimas) 21:19, 9 gegu??s 2025 (EEST)Atsakyti
Sveiki. Prad?iai siūly?iau susipa?inti su Pagalba:Turinys. Be abejo, ir patys matome, kad daugelis straipsni? neinformatyvūs, nema?ai straipsni? svarbiomis temomis i? viso n?ra (tarkim, paraly?ius). Nusistov?jusi politika tokia, kad autovertimai, reklamos ir pan. trinami i?syk, labai prasti vertimai paprastai ka?kiek pastovi. N?ra taip, kad naujok? straipsniai visi?kai negailestingai trinami, tiesiog da?nu atveju naujokui nepavyksta sukurti bent jau pus?tino straipsnio. K? turime daryti, jei retas sakinys ri?lus?

I? tikr?j?, prisipa?insiu, esu neapsisprendusi, kaip geriau daryti su ?ia informacija, gal gerai palikti taip, kaip ?iuo metu yra. Reikia galvoti ne tik apie tai, kad straipsnis egzistuot?, bet ir kaip jis veikia vie??j? nuomon?. Nes ?odis labai paplit?s. Pvz., a? reddit beveik niekada nesilankau, bet i? netur?jimo k? veikti kartais pris?sdavau ir esu pasteb?jusi, kad ten labai daug ?? ?od? vartoja. Ir po serialo "Adolescence" ?is ?odis labai i?plito.

Hello all! We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of Abstract Wikipedia: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too.
We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.
The Contribute entry point is based on collaborative work with other product teams in the Wikimedia Foundation on Edit discovery, which validated the entry point as a persistent and constant path that contributors took to discover ways to contribute content in Wikipedia.
Therefore, enabling this entry point in your Wikipedia will help contributors quickly discover available tools and immediately click to start using them. This entry point is designed to be a central point for discovering contribution tools in Lithuanian Wikipedia.
Who can access it
Once it is enabled in your Wikipedia, newcomers can access the entry point automatically by just logging into their account, click on the User drop-down menu and choose the "Contribute" icon, which takes you to another menu where you will find a self-guided description of what you can do to contribute content, as shown in the image below. An option to "view contributions" is also available to access the list of your contributions.
For experienced contributors, the Contribute icon is not automatically shown in their User drop-down menu. They will still see the "Contributions" option unless they change it to the "Contribute" manually.
We have gotten valuable feedback that helped us improve its discoverability. Now, it is ready to be enabled in other Wikis. One major improvement was to make the entry point optional for experienced contributors who still want to have the "Contributions" entry point as default.
We plan to enable it on mobile for Wikis, where the Section translation tool is enabled. In this way, we will provide a main entry point to the mobile translation dashboard, and the exposure can still be limited by targeting only the mobile platform for now. If there are no objections to having the entry point for mobile users from your community, we will enable it by 10th June 2025.
We welcome your feedback and questions in this thread on our proposal to enable it here. Suppose there are no objections, we will deploy the "Contribute" entry point in your Wikipedia.
We look forward to your response soon.
Thank you!
On behalf of the WMF Language and Product Localization team.
Thank you @Obivan Kenobi and @Homo ergaster, for your feedback. I would like to clarify what the Contribute entry point does and address your concerns. The Contribute entry point or menu is designed to be a hub or central place where contributors—especially newcomers—can discover the various ways to contribute to Wikipedia. It is not just access to the Content Translation tool; soon, it will be access to all available contribution tools on any Wikipedia where it is enabled.
Also, having the menu does not change the existing configuration of the Content translation tool in your Wiki. I can see the machine translation is disabled, and the Content translation tool is restricted for specific user groups; it will remain that way even if newcomers access the tool from the Contribute entry point.
Regarding encouragement to learn useful skills that Homo ergaster mentioned, when newcomers see the different tools available from the contribute menu, they will know the various ways they can contribute and choose which tool they want to use, clicking on any of the available button will take them to the tool which would provide more information they need to use it.
I hope the above information clarifies any misunderstanding about the Contribute entry point. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Tai taip i?eina, kad automatinis vertimas pagal nutyl?jim? visgi i?jungtas. Na, kai kurie, matyt, patys ?sijung? ar i? Google Translate ?met?.

Apskritai ?ia, saky?iau, platesn? problema: ir studentai piktnaud?iauja DI, tingi stengtis ([14]), prastas ra?tingumo lygis ([15]). --Homo ergaster (aptarimas) 11:35, 2 bir?elio 2025 (EEST)Atsakyti
I am following up on our previous conversation regarding the possibility of enabling the Contribute menu. I want to reiterate that introducing this menu will not alter the existing configuration of the Content Translation tool in your Wiki.
Additionally, I noticed that the tool is not used frequently in your Wiki. Last year, only 307 articles were added using the Content Translation tool out of 19,094 articles, and 15 of them were deleted. Since its deployment, the tool has contributed to the addition of a total of 1,800 articles to your Wiki.
Based on this data, I do not see evidence of abuse related to this tool in your community, and it seems that the mechanisms in place to prevent misuse are functioning effectively. Therefore, enabling the Contribute menu and having all the tools available in your Wiki in the menu, including Content translation, won't cause abuse.
As an outsider to your community, I may not know all the nuances, so I stand corrected in my thinking.
Once again, thank you for your feedback, and I look forward to your decision on this proposal.

This year, the term of 2 (two) 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 Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 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 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
August 2025: Campaign period
August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated
Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [link].
Call for Questions
In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [link]
Election Volunteers
Another way to be involved with the 2025 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 [link].
Hi everyone, The CEE Meeting 2025 programme committee wants to inform you that the deadline to submit a session proposal in the CEE Meeting is 31 May 2025, 23:59 CET. You can read more information about the process here and here.

The Campaigns Product Team is planning a global deployment of the CampaignEvents extension to all Wikipedias, including this wiki, during the week of June 23rd.
This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, WikiProjects, and other on-wiki collaborations - and to make these efforts more discoverable.
Invitation Lists: A tool to help organizers find editors who might want to join, based on their past contributions.
Note: The extension comes with a new user right called "Event Organizer", which will be managed by administrators on this wiki. Organizer tools like Event Registration and Invitation Lists will only work if someone is granted this right. The Collaboration List is available to everyone immediately after deployment.
The extension is already live on several wikis, including Meta, Wikidata, English Wikipedia, and more ( See the full deployment list)
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to share them on the extension talkpage. We’d love to hear from you before the rollout.
This year, the Wikimedia community will vote in late August through September 2025 to fill two (2) seats on the Foundation Board. Could you – or someone you know – be a good fit to join the Wikimedia Foundation's Board of Trustees? [3]
Learn more about what it takes to stand for these leadership positions and how to submit your candidacy on this Meta-wiki page or encourage someone else to run in this year's election.

A vision of relevant, accessible, and impactful free knowledge has always guided the Wikimedia Movement. As the ecosystem of Wikimedia projects continues to evolve, it is crucial that we periodically review existing projects to ensure they still align with our goals and community capacity.
Despite their noble intent, some projects may no longer effectively serve their original purpose. Reviewing such projects is not about giving up – it's about responsible stewardship of shared resources. Volunteer time, staff support, infrastructure, and community attention are finite, and the non-technical costs tend to grow significantly as our ecosystem has entered a different age of the internet than the one we were founded in. Supporting inactive projects or projects that didn't meet our ambitions can unintentionally divert these resources from areas with more potential impact.
Moreover, maintaining projects that no longer reflect the quality and reliability of the Wikimedia name stands for, involves a reputational risk. An abandoned or less reliable project affects trust in the Wikimedia movement.
Lastly, failing to sunset or reimagine projects that are no longer working can make it much harder to start new ones. When the community feels bound to every past decision – no matter how outdated – we risk stagnation. A healthy ecosystem must allow for evolution, adaptation, and, when necessary, letting go. If we create the expectation that every project must exist indefinitely, we limit our ability to experiment and innovate.
Because of this, SPTF reviewed two requests concerning the lifecycle of the Sister Projects to work through and demonstrate the review process. We chose Wikispore as a case study for a possible new Sister Project opening and Wikinews as a case study for a review of an existing project. Preliminary findings were discussed with the CAC, and a community consultation on both proposals was recommended.
The application to consider Wikispore was submitted in 2019. SPTF decided to review this request in more depth because rather than being concentrated on a specific topic, as most of the proposals for the new Sister Projects are, Wikispore has the potential to nurture multiple start-up Sister Projects.
After careful consideration, the SPTF has decided not to recommend Wikispore as a Wikimedia Sister Project. Considering the current activity level, the current arrangement allows better flexibility and experimentation while WMF provides core infrastructural support.
We acknowledge the initiative's potential and seek community input on what would constitute a sufficient level of activity and engagement to reconsider its status in the future.
As part of the process, we shared the decision with the Wikispore community and invited one of its leaders, Pharos, to an SPTF meeting.
Currently, we especially invite feedback on measurable criteria indicating the project's readiness, such as contributor numbers, content volume, and sustained community support. This would clarify the criteria sufficient for opening a new Sister Project, including possible future Wikispore re-application. However, the numbers will always be a guide because any number can be gamed.
We chose to review Wikinews among existing Sister Projects because it is the one for which we have observed the highest level of concern in multiple ways.
Since the SPTF was convened in 2023, its members have asked for the community's opinions during conferences and community calls about Sister Projects that did not fulfil their promise in the Wikimedia movement.[1][2][3] Wikinews was the leading candidate for an evaluation because people from multiple language communities proposed it. Additionally, by most measures, it is the least active Sister Project, with the greatest drop in activity over the years.
While the Language Committee routinely opens and closes language versions of the Sister Projects in small languages, there has never been a valid proposal to close Wikipedia in major languages or any project in English. This is not true for Wikinews, where there was a proposal to close English Wikinews, which gained some traction but did not result in any action[4][5], see section 5 as well as a draft proposal to close all languages of Wikinews[6].
Initial metrics compiled by WMF staff also support the community's concerns about Wikinews.
Based on this report, SPTF recommends a community reevaluation of Wikinews. We conclude that its current structure and activity levels are the lowest among the existing sister projects. SPTF also recommends pausing the opening of new language editions while the consultation runs.
SPTF brings this analysis to a discussion and welcomes discussions of alternative outcomes, including potential restructuring efforts or integration with other Wikimedia initiatives.
Options mentioned so far (which might be applied to just low-activity languages or all languages) include but are not limited to:
Restructure how Wikinews works and is linked to other current events efforts on the projects,
Merge the content of Wikinews into the relevant language Wikipedias, possibly in a new namespace,
Merge content into compatibly licensed external projects,
Archive Wikinews projects.
Your insights and perspectives are invaluable in shaping the future of these projects. We encourage all interested community members to share their thoughts on the relevant discussion pages or through other designated feedback channels.
We'd be grateful if you want to take part in a conversation on the future of these projects and the review process. We are setting up two different project pages: Public consultation about Wikispore and Public consultation about Wikinews. Please participate between 27 June 2025 and 27 July 2025, after which we will summarize the discussion to move forward. You can write in your own language.
I will also host a community conversation 16th July Wednesday 11.00 UTC and 17th July Thursday 17.00 UTC (call links to follow shortly) and will be around at Wikimania for more discussions.

Hello everyone, the Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects team is excited to announce an upcoming change in how Wikidata edit changelogs are displayed in your Watchlists and Recent Changes lists. If an edit is made on Wikidata that affects a page in another Wikimedia Project, the changelog will contain some information about the nature of the edit. This can include a QID (or Q-number), a PID (or P-number) and a value (which can be text, numbers, dates, or also QID or PID’s). Confused by these terms? See the Wikidata:Glossary for further explanations.
The upcoming change is scheduled for 17.07.2025, between 1300 - 1500 UTC.
The change will display the label (item name) alongside any QID or PIDs, as seen in the image below:
These changes will only be visible if you have Wikidata edits enabled in your User Preferences for Watchlists and Recent Changes, or have the active filter ‘Wikidata edits’ checkbox toggled on, directly on the Watchlist and Recent Changes pages.
Your bot and gadget may be affected! There are thousands of bots, gadgets and user-scripts and whilst we have researched potential effects to many of them, we cannot guarantee there won’t be some that are broken or affected by this change.
Further information and context about this change, including how your bot may be affected can be found on this project task page. We welcome your questions and feedback, please write to us on this dedicated Talk page.
