Discussão sobre Processo Estratégico recomeça em janeiro

Boa tarde a todos!

Venho à Esplanada apenas para deixar um breve comunicado sobre o Processo Estratégico. Na segunda metade de janeiro, recomeçaremos as discussões sobre o processo, de modo similar ao iniciado em 2019. Desta vez, entretanto, o objetivo não será mais o de criar ideias e elaborar recomendações. Agora que as recomendações já foram criadas, nosso objetivo será o de validar as recomendações, aprovando ou desaprovando e dando nossa contribuição sobre como elas podem ser melhoradas ou como podem ser melhor implementadas. Podemos, por exemplo, expor nossa noção sobre quão urgente ou importante é determinada recomendação ou sinalizar quais recomendações podem ser implementadas posteriormente.

Nas últimas semanas, os Escritores têm trabalhado no resumo das 89 recomendações. Esse material - ainda em formação - será o objeto de análise e validação por parte da comunidade. O início das discussões está previsto para a segunda metade de janeiro de 2020, como pode ser acompanhado em nossa Linha do Tempo.

Por último, gostaria de divulgar esta lista de mensagens criada com o objetivo de informar aos interessados sobre o Processo Estratégico. Nela, serão enviadas mensagens indicando etapas do processo, mensagens importantes do Core Team e qualquer material específico sobre nossas discussões. Caso queiram receber as mensagens, podem entrar em contato comigo ou adicionar o nome na lista. É esperado que o fluxo seja baixo, com uma mensagem por semana.

Fico à disposição para qualquer dúvida ou comentário. Nos vemos em breve! LTeles (WMF) (discussão) 19h37min de 5 de janeiro de 2020 (UTC)

Novidades de Tecnologia mais recentes da comunidade técnica da Wikimedia. Por favor, informe os outros utilizadores sobre estas alterações. Nem todas as alterações o irão afetar. Estão disponíveis 'Traduções'.

Alterações recentes

• Não poderá mais ler as wikis da Wikimedia se o seu navegador utilizar o TLS muito antigo. Isto ocorre porque é um problema de segurança para todos. Isto pode levar a ataques de downgrade. Desde 9 de dezembro que vê apenas um aviso. Em breve, o navegador não se ligará às wikis. A maioria são utilizadores de sistemas Android com mais de 4.4. Pode ler as recomendações de navegador. [2]
• Especial:Pesquisa de Hiperligação foi movido da secção"Páginas especiais de redirecionamento" em Especial:Páginas Especiais para a secção "Listas de páginas". [3]

Alterações no final desta semana

• As wikis podem proteger páginas para que apenas alguns utilizadores as possam editar. Os níveis de proteção padrão são Permitir apenas utilizadores autoconfirmados e Permitir apenas administradores. Se a sua wiki utilizar mais níveis de proteção, o nome técnico poderá ser renomeado para padronização. Isto não afeta o que os utilizadores vêem. [4]
• A nova versão do MediaWiki estará disponível nas wikis de teste e em Mediawiki.org a partir de 14 janeiro. Esta irá estar nas wikis que não são da Wikipédia e em algumas Wikipédias a partir de 15 janeiro. Esta irá estar em todas as wikis a partir de 16 janeiro (calendário).

Alterações futuras

• Deepcat e Catgraph irão deixar de funcionar. Isto irá acontecer no final de janeiro. Isto ocorre porque agora pode utilizar a função de pesquisa normal. [5]
• Pode utilizar nowiki><ref follow="…"></nowiki> para unir notas de rodapé que se seguem umas às outras. Isto deve ser utilizado para os livros digitalizados na Wikisource. Se a ordem das notas de rodapé estiver errada, não foi mostrado nenhum erro, mas foi mostrado <ref> fora da lista de <referências. Isto irá alterar e irá ver uma mensagem de erro. [6]

Future changes

• There is a new suggestion for what to show when someone edits without registering an account. This is to give unregistered editors better privacy and make some anti-vandalism work go faster. You can give feedback.
• Pywikibot is a Python library to automate work on wikis. It will no longer support Python 2. Use the python2 tag if you need to continue running Python 2 scripts. The Pywikibot team strongly recommends to migrate to Python 3. You can get help to do so. [7]
• The weekly MediaWiki branch cut will soon become automated. The timing for this cut may change. You can discuss in Phabricator if this affects you. [8]
• You can read about coming technical events and mentoring interns.

Resumo: A versão mais recente das recomendações está disponível para revisão pela comunidade e todos são convidados a deixar sua opinião sobre elas nesta página ou nas páginas indicadas.

Olá a todos! É com muita felicidade que informo que - finalmente - as 13 recomendações foram publicadas e estão disponíveis para leitura e podemos voltar a discutir sobre o Processo Estratégico. Ao mesmo tempo em que foram publicadas, as discussões da comunidade foram abertas.

Portanto, estão todos convidados a deixarem suas opiniões sobre as recomendações, seja nesta página (abaixo) ou no Meta. Estou à disposição para responder a qualquer dúvida e fornecer mais esclarecimentos. Boa discussão a todos! LTeles (WMF) (discussão) 21h23min de 22 de janeiro de 2020 (UTC)

Problems

• Some mobile diffs have problems. A couple of buttons are not shown. Structured data diffs on Commons are confusing. The developers are working on fixing it. [9][10]

If you know of other special pages where this is useful please tell the developers at phab:T232688.

Wikimedia 2030 - Recomendações foram publicadas!

Caros colegas, em 2017 usuários do mundo inteiro começaram a discutir sobre a Estratégia do Movimento e como poderíamos mudar, para que, em 2030, os projetos da Wikimedia se tornassem infra-estrutura essencial para o ecossistema do conhecimento livre. É com enorme alegria, como em poucas vezes já tive ao fazer parte dessa comunidade, que comunico que as recomendações foram finalizadas e foram publicadas para serem lidas por todos. A versão anterior publicada em janeiro com 13 recomendações foi aperfeiçoada e resumida em 10 recomendações. Esta página (em inglês) traz as mudanças entre as versões. Há, ainda, outros documentos que trazem formas diferentes de leitura e podem ajudar no entendimento das recomendações:

• Arquivo em PDF do documento (em inglês)
• Resumo de uma página com as recomendações.
• Uma apresentação das recomendações (em inglês)

As recomendações são uma síntese do trabalho de voluntários de funcionários da Wikimedia que trazem os pensamentos, críticas, sugestões de diferentes lugares e culturas sobre como podemos e devemos melhorar o nosso conteúdo em serviço e com equidade. As ideias foram elaboradas de forma que ajudem estrategicamente a comunidade durante esta década e sejam flexíveis o suficiente para que possam ser adaptadas para as diferentes necessidades locais e globais do nosso movimento. Agradeço aos que participaram, comentando nas wikis, nos chats, presencialmente e colaboraram para a criação desse robusto documento.

É tempo de celebrar essa conquista e nos preparar para a fase de implementação dessas ideias, que deve se iniciar no segundo semestre deste ano. Desejo uma boa leitura a todos e - apesar de esta ser a versão final - fiquem à vontade para continuarem com seus comentários sobre o documento. Forte abraço!
