Request for comment on Commons: Should Wikimedia support MP4 video?

I apologize for this message being only in English. Please translate it if needed to help your community.

The Wikimedia Foundation's multimedia team seeks community guidance on a proposal to support the MP4 video format. This digital video standard is used widely around the world to record, edit and watch videos on mobile phones, desktop computers and home video devices. It is also known as H.264/MPEG-4 or AVC.

Supporting the MP4 format would make it much easier for our users to view and contribute video on Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects -- and video files could be offered in dual formats on our sites, so we could continue to support current open formats (WebM and Ogg Theora).

However, MP4 is a patent-encumbered format, and using a proprietary format would be a departure from our current practice of only supporting open formats on our sites -- even though the licenses appear to have acceptable legal terms, with only a small fee required.

We would appreciate your guidance on whether or not to support MP4. Our Request for Comments presents views both in favor and against MP4 support, based on opinions we’ve heard in our discussions with community and team members.

Please join this RfC -- and share your advice.

All users are welcome to participate, whether you are active on Commons, Wikipedia, other Wikimedia project -- or any site that uses content from our free media repository.

You are also welcome to join tomorrow's Office hours chat on IRC, this Thursday, January 16, at 19:00 UTC, if you would like to discuss this project with our team and other community members.

We look forward to a constructive discussion with you, so we can make a more informed decision together on this important topic. Keegan (WMF) (talk) ‏۱۶ ژانویهٔ ۲۰۱۴، ساعت ۰۶:۴۶ (UTC)

Universal Language Selector will be enabled by default again on this wiki by 21 February 2014

On January 21 2014 the MediaWiki extension Universal Language Selector (ULS) was disabled on this wiki. A new preference was added for logged-in users to turn on ULS. This was done to prevent slow loading of pages due to ULS webfonts, a behaviour that had been observed by the Wikimedia Technical Operations team on some wikis.

We are now ready to enable ULS again. The temporary preference to enable ULS will be removed. A new checkbox has been added to the Language Panel to enable/disable font delivery. This will be unchecked by default for this wiki, but can be selected at any time by the users to enable webfonts. This is an interim solution while we improve the feature of webfonts delivery.

You can read the announcement and the development plan for more information. Apologies for writing this message only in English. Thank you. Runa

Proposed optional changes to Terms of Use amendment

Hello all, in response to some community comments in the discussion on the amendment to the Terms of Use on undisclosed paid editing, we have prepared two optional changes. Please read about these optional changes on Meta wiki and share your comments. If you can (and this is a non english project), please translate this announcement. Thanks!

Changes to the default site typography coming soon

This week, the typography on Wikimedia sites will be updated for all readers and editors who use the default "Vector" skin. This change will involve new serif fonts for some headings, small tweaks to body content fonts, text size, text color, and spacing between elements. The schedule is:

• April 1st: non-Wikipedia projects will see this change live
• April 3rd: Wikipedias will see this change live

This change is very similar to the "Typography Update" Beta Feature that has been available on Wikimedia projects since November 2013. After several rounds of testing and with feedback from the community, this Beta Feature will be disabled and successful aspects enabled in the default site appearance. Users who are logged in may still choose to use another skin, or alter their personal CSS, if they prefer a different appearance. Local common CSS styles will also apply as normal, for issues with local styles and scripts that impact all users.

For more information:

• Discussion page for feedback or questions
• Post on blog.wikimedia.org

Pronunciation Recording

Visual workflow draft for pronunciation recording gadget; If you have trouble watching this video here, watch it on vimeo. A more extensive/explanative version is available.

Dear Wiktionary community!

About me

My name is Rainer Rillke, and I have been volunteering at Wikimedia Commons for 3 years now, gathering experience around media files. I've been always interested in how things work and how one could improve them.

The idea

One idea that appeared last Summer was allowing the recording of small chunks of speech, uploading that to Wikimedia Commons in the background and including this into a Wiktionary entry without having the hassle doing everything by hand or installing additional software. That idea led to the foundation of MediaWiki extension PronunciationRecording during the Google Summer of Code. However, this was not completed; instead development is stale for over 5 months now.

My proposal

To make this going to work, so Wiktionary has an immediate benefit of this feature, I would like to provide the work done so far as a gadget and add some more work in regard to usability. You can see my plan at m:Grants:IEG/Finish Pronunciation Recording. And more importantly, you can give me a hand, if you are interested by writing your comments.

Thanks and kind regards --Rillke (بحث) ‏۷ آوریل ۲۰۱۴، ساعت ۱۷:۲۵ (UTC)

Using only UploadWizard for uploads

Hello! It was noted that on this wiki you have less than 10 local files. Presumably, you therefore don't have interest nor energies to have hundreds templates with the now required HTML, even less a local EDP. However, this means that users here will experience a mostly broken and/or illegal uploading. I propose to

• have local upload restricted to the "مدیران" group (for emergency uploads) and
• the sidebar point to commons:Special:UploadWizard,

so that you can avoid local maintenance and all users can have a functioning, easy upload interface in their own language. All registered users can upload on Commons and existing files will not be affected.

I'll get this done in one week from now.

1. If you disagree with the proposal, just remove your wiki from the list.
2. To make the UploadWizard even better, please tell your experience and ideas on commons:Commons:Upload Wizard feedback.

Media Viewer

Greetings, my apologies for writing in English.

I wanted to let you know that Media Viewer will be released to this wiki in the coming weeks. Media Viewer allows readers of Wikimedia projects to have an enhanced view of files without having to visit the file page, but with more detail than a thumbnail. You can try Media Viewer out now by turning it on in your Beta Features. If you do not enjoy Media Viewer or if it interferes with your work after it is turned on you will be able to disable Media Viewer as well in your preferences. I invite you to share what you think about Media Viewer and how it can be made better in the future.

Thank you for your time. - Keegan (WMF) ‏۲۳ مهٔ ۲۰۱۴، ساعت ۲۱:۲۹ (UTC)

Media Viewer is now live on this wiki

Media Viewer lets you see images in larger size

Greetings— and sorry for writing in English, please translate if it will help your community,

The Wikimedia Foundation's Multimedia team is happy to announce that Media Viewer was just released on this site today.

Media Viewer displays images in larger size when you click on their thumbnails, to provide a better viewing experience. Users can now view images faster and more clearly, without having to jump to separate pages — and its user interface is more intuitive, offering easy access to full-resolution images and information, with links to the file repository for editing. The tool has been tested extensively across all Wikimedia wikis over the past six months as a Beta Feature and has been released to the largest Wikipedias, all language Wikisources, and the English Wikivoyage already.

If you do not like this feature, you can easily turn it off by clicking on "Disable Media Viewer" at the bottom of the screen, pulling up the information panel (or in your your preferences) whether you have an account or not. Learn more in this Media Viewer Help page.

Please let us know if you have any questions or comments about Media Viewer. You are invited to share your feedback in this discussion on MediaWiki.org in any language, to help improve this feature. You are also welcome to take this quick survey in English, en français, o español.

We hope you enjoy Media Viewer. Many thanks to all the community members who helped make it possible. - Fabrice Florin (WMF) (talk) ‏۱۹ ژوئن ۲۰۱۴، ساعت ۲۱:۵۴ (UTC)

Letter petitioning WMF to reverse recent decisions

The Wikimedia Foundation recently created a new feature, "superprotect" status. The purpose is to prevent pages from being edited by elected administrators -- but permitting WMF staff to edit them. It has been put to use in only one case: to protect the deployment of the Media Viewer software on German Wikipedia, in defiance of a clear decision of that community to disable the feature by default, unless users decide to enable it.

If you oppose these actions, please add your name to this letter. If you know non-Wikimedians who support our vision for the free sharing of knowledge, and would like to add their names to the list, please ask them to sign an identical version of the letter on change.org.

Process ideas for software development

’’My apologies for writing in English.’’

Hello,

I am notifying you that a brainstorming session has been started on Meta to help the Wikimedia Foundation increase and better affect community participation in software development across all wiki projects. Basically, how can you be more involved in helping to create features on Wikimedia projects? We are inviting all interested users to voice their ideas on how communities can be more involved and informed in the product development process at the Wikimedia Foundation. It would be very appreciated if you could translate this message to help inform your local communities as well.

I and the rest of my team welcome you to participate. We hope to see you on Meta.

Kind regards, -- Rdicerb (WMF) talk ‏۲۱ اوت ۲۰۱۴، ساعت ۲۲:۱۵ (UTC)

Meta RfCs on two new global groups

Hello all,

There are currently requests for comment open on meta to create two new global groups. The first is a group for members of the OTRS permissions queue, which would grant them autopatrolled rights on all wikis except those who opt-out. That proposal can be found at m:Requests for comment/Creation of a global OTRS-permissions user group. The second is a group for Wikimedia Commons admins and OTRS agents to view deleted file pages through the 'viewdeletedfile' right on all wikis except those who opt-out. The second proposal can be found at m:Requests for comment/Global file deletion review.

We would like to hear what you think on both proposals. Both are in English; if you wanted to translate them into your native language that would also be appreciated.

It is possible for individual projects to opt-out, so that users in those groups do not have any additional rights on those projects. To do this please start a local discussion, and if there is consensus you can request to opt-out of either or both at m:Stewards' noticeboard.

Thanks and regards, Ajraddatz (talk) ‏۲۶ اکتبر ۲۰۱۴، ساعت ۱۸:۰۴ (UTC)

خبرنامه هفتگی ویکی‌سفر

گوته و حافظ اگر روزی روزگاری گذارتان به آلمان افتاد، حتماً سری هم به‌شهر وایمار در شرق این کشور بزنید. از شهرهای بسیار زیبا و تاریخی اروپاست. البته نه به بزرگی و عظمت اَبرشهرهایی چون برلین، پاریس یا لندن؛ اما فرهنگ‌شهر آلمان است. حتی چند سال پیش از این، یونسکو این شهر را به‌عنوان «نخستین فرهنگ‌شهر اروپا» برگزید. وایمار شهر کلاسیک‌های آلمان است، شهر ولفگانگ گوته و فریدریش شیلر؛ شهر فرانتس لیست است؛ آن‌جا که نیچه جان سپرد و جمهوری وایمار پا گرفت. در وایمار سراغ پارک شهر را بگیرید. از پارک شهر تا «میدان بتهوون» راه چندانی نیست؛ یکی از میدان‌های زیبای شهر است. در گوشه میدان بتهوون دو صندلی سنگی بزرگ به چشم می‌خورد که روبه‌روی هم قرار گرفته‌اند. یکی رو به شرق دارد و یکی رو به غرب. هر دو صندلی را از یک قطعه سنگ خارا تراشیده‌اند؛ از یک جنس با رگه‌هایی از بلور نیلگون. جلوتر بروید! صندلی‌ها خالی است و شما را به نشستن و نظاره کردن دعوت می‌کند. نگاه کنید! درست در میان فرش خارا، میان دو صندلی، غزلی از حافظ نقش بسته است، با خط زیبای نستعلیق؛ و در دو سوی فرش دو قطعه شعر از گوته به‌چشم می‌خورد به‌زبان آلمانی. گویی که این دو بزرگ، دور از اغیار در این گوشه از جهان به گفت‌وگو نشسته‌اند. میزبان گوته است که در وایمار ساکن است و میهمان حافظ.

ویکی‌سفر پروژه‌ای برای ساخت یک راهنمای سفر کامل، به‌روز و قابل اعتماد است. این پروژه با همکاری نویسندگان ویکی‌سفر از سرتاسر دنیا ساخته شده است.

ویکی‌سفر با شوق درمیان‌گذاری دانش که مسافرت را شیرین و لذت‌بخش می‌کند. هرگاه مسافران یکدیگر را در جاده می‌بینند، شروع به رد و بدل اطلاعات راجع به مکان‌هایی که از آن‌ها دیدن کرده‌اند می‌کنند و سوالاتی راجع به مکان‌هایی که به آن‌ها نرفته‌اند می‌پرسند.

ما می‌خواهیم درمیان‌گذاری این دانش را آسان کنیم و بگذاریم دیگران اطلاعاتشان را به اشتراک بگذارند.

برای ساخت ویکی‌سفر، ما از ابزار و فرایندی به نام ویکی استفاده می‌کنیم که به هر خوانندهٔ اینترنت امکان ایجاد، به‌روزرسانی، ویرایش و قرار دادن تصویر در هر صفحهٔ این وب‌گاه را می‌دهد.

ما همه، دانسته‌های خود را درمیان می‌گذاریم، آن‌ها را ویرایش می‌کنیم تا به مجموعه‌ای خوشایند، منطقی و مستدل تبدیل گردد. هر چه تعداد ویرایشگران بیشتر باشد، ویکی‌سفر نیز بهتر می‌شود. ما به تعدادی ره‌شمار دست یافته‌ایم، ولی هنوز راه زیادی مانده است. اگر شما تازه‌وارد هستید، می‌توانید مقالات را ویرایش و به ما کمک کنید.

ویکی‌سفری‌ها کسانی هستند که در ویکی‌سفر می‌نویسند و عضوی از جامعه جهان گستر مشارکت کننده در ویکی‌سفر می‌باشند.ویکی‌سفری‌ها یک سازمان مخفیانه یا یک گروه محدود نیستند. ما هم افرادی مثل سایرین هستیم. بعضی از ما به مسافرت رفتن علاقه دارند، بعضی دیگرمان به محل خودشان علاقه دارند، بعضی به مرتب کردن و ویکی‌نویسی علاقه دارند.

وجه مشترک همه ما در این است که می‌خواهیم آنچه را که می‌دانیم به مسافران در هر جایی که هستند بگوییم. شما همین حالا می‌توانید ویکی‌سفری شوید. برای اینکه این پروژه موفق باشد به کمک شما نیاز داریم. ما راه درازی در پیش داریم و هر چه شما بیشتر کمک کنید به هدف نزدیک تر خواهیم شد.
