Wikimedia Movement Strategy: 2020 Community Conversations

Dear Wikimedians,

Greetings! Wishing you a very happy new year!

We have an update for the next steps of the Movement Strategy! We're preparing for a final round of community conversations with Wikimedia affiliates and online communities around a synthesized set of draft recommendations to start around late/mid January. In the meantime, recommendations’ writers and strategy team has been working on integrating community ideas and feedback into these recommendations. Thank you, for all of your contributions!

What's New?

The recommendations writers have been working to consolidate the 89 recommendations produced by the working groups. They met in Berlin a few weeks back for an in-person session to produce a synthesized recommendations document which will be shared for public comment around late/mid January. A number of common areas for change were reflected in the recommendations, and the writers assessed and clustered them around these areas. The goal was to outline the overall direction of the change and present one set that is clearly understood, implementable and demonstrates the reasoning behind each.

What's Next?

We will be reaching out to you to help engage your affiliate in discussing this new synthesized version. Your input in helping us refine and advance key ideas will be invaluable, and we are looking forward to engaging with you for a period of thirty days from late/mid January. Our final consultation round is to give communities a chance to "review and discuss" the draft recommendations, highlighting areas of support and concern as well as indicating how your community would be affected.

Please share ideas on how you would like to meet and discuss the final draft recommendations when they are released near Mid January whether through your strategy salons, joining us at global and regional events, joining online conversations, or sending in notes from affiliate discussions. We couldn't do this without you, and hope that you will enjoy seeing your input reflected in the next draft and final recommendations. This will be an opportunity for the movement to review and respond to the recommendations before they are finalized.

If possible, we'd love if you could feature a discussion of the draft recommendations at the next in-person meeting of your affiliate, ideally between the last week of January and the first week of February. If not, please let us know how we can help support you with online conversations and discussing how the draft recommendations fit with the ideas shared at your strategy salon (when applicable).

The input communities have shared so far has been carefully documented, analyzed, and folded into the synthesized draft recommendations. Communities will be able to see footnotes referencing community ideas. What they share again in January/February will be given the same care, seriousness, and transparency.

This final round of community feedback will be presented to the Board of Trustees alongside the final recommendations that will be shared at the Wikimedia Summit.

Wikimedia 2030: Movement Strategy Community conversations are here!

Dear Affiliate Representatives and community members,

The launch of our final round of community conversation is finally here! We are excited to have the opportunity to invite you to take part.
The recommendations have been published! Please take time over the next five weeks to review and help us understand how your organization and community would be impacted.

What Does This Mean?

The core recommendations document has now been published on Meta in Arabic, English, French, German, Hindi, Portuguese, and Spanish. This is the result of more than a year of dedicated work by our working groups, and we are pleased to share the evolution of their work for your final consideration.
In addition to the recommendations text, you can read through key documents such as Principles, Process, and the Writer’s Reflections, which lend important context to this work and highlight the ways that the recommendations are conceptually interlinked.
We also have a brief Narrative of Change [5] which offers a summary introduction to the recommendations material.

How Is My Input Reflected In This Work?

Community input played an important role in the drafting of these recommendations. The core recommendations document reflects this and cites community input throughout in footnotes. I also encourage you to take a look at our community input summaries. These texts show a further analysis of how all of the ideas you shared last year through online conversations, affiliate meetings, and strategy salons connect to recommendations. Many of the community notes and reports not footnoted in the core recommendations document are referenced here as evidence of the incredible convergence of ideas that have brought us this far.

What Happens Now?

Affiliates, online communities, and other stakeholders have the next five weeks to discuss and share feedback on these recommendations. In particular, we’re hoping to better understand how you think they would impact our movement - what benefits and opportunities do you foresee for your affiliate, and why? What challenges or barriers would they pose for you? Your input at this stage is vital, and we’d like to warmly invite you to participate in this final discussion period.

We encourage volunteer discussion co-ordinators for facilitating these discussions in your local language community on-wiki, on social media, informal or formal meet ups, on-hangouts, IRC or the village pump of your project. Please collect a report from these channels or conversations and connect with me directly so that I can be sure your input is collected and used. Alternatively, you can also post the feedback on the meta talk pages of the respective recommendations.

After this five week period, the Core Team will publish a summary report of input from across affiliates, online communities, and other stakeholders for public review before the recommendations are finalized. You can view our updated timeline here as well as an updated FAQ section that addresses topics like the goal of this current period, the various components of the draft recommendations, and what’s next in more detail.
Thank you again for taking the time to join us in community conversations, and we look forward to receiving your input. (Please help us by translating this message into your local language). Happy reading! RSharma (WMF) MediaWiki message delivery (చర్చ) 21:31, 20 జనవరి 2020 (UTC)[ప్రత్యుత్తరం]

Additional interface for edit conflicts on talk pages

Sorry, for writing this text in English. If you could help to translate it, it would be appreciated.

You might know the new interface for edit conflicts (currently a beta feature). Now, Wikimedia Germany is designing an additional interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. This interface is shown to you when you write on a discussion page and another person writes a discussion post in the same line and saves it before you do. With this additional editing conflict interface you can adjust the order of the comments and edit your comment. We are inviting everyone to have a look at the planned feature. Let us know what you think on our central feedback page! -- For the Technical Wishes Team: Max Klemm (WMDE) 14:15, 26 ఫిబ్రవరి 2020 (UTC)[ప్రత్యుత్తరం]

The 2030 movement strategy recommendations are here!

Greetings! We are pleased to inform that the 2030 movement strategy recommendations have been published on Meta-wiki. Over the last two years, our movement has worked tirelessly to produce these ideas to change our shared future. Many of you participated in the online conversations, hosted strategy salons, attended regional events, and connected with us in-person at Wikimania. These contributions were invaluable, and will help make our movement stronger for years to come.

The finished set of 10 recommendations emphasizes many of our core values, such as equity, innovation, safety, and coordination, while tasking us jointly to turn this vision into a reality. These recommendations clarify and refine the previous version, which was published in January this year. They are at a high strategic level so that the ideas are flexible enough to be adapted to different global and local settings and will allow us to navigate future challenges. Along with the recommendations, we have outlined 10 underlying principles, a narrative of change, and a glossary of key terms for better context.

The recommendations are available in numerous languages, including Arabic, German, Hindi, English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish for you to read and share widely. We encourage you to read the recommendations in your own time and at your own pace, either online or in a PDF. There are a couple of other formats for you to take a deeper dive if you wish, such as a one-page summary, slides, and office hours, all collected on Meta. If you would like to comment, you are welcome to do so on the Meta talk pages. However, please note that these are the final version of the recommendations. No further edits will be made. This final version of the recommendations embodies an aspiration for how the Wikimedia movement should continue to change in order to advance that direction and meet the Wikimedia vision in a changing world.

In terms of next steps, our focus now shifts toward implementation. In light of the cancellation of the Wikimedia Summit, the Wikimedia Foundation is determining the best steps for moving forward through a series of virtual events over the coming months. We will also be hosting live office hours in the next coming few days, where you can join us to celebrate the Strategy and ask questions! Please stay tuned, and thank you once again for helping to drive our movement forward, together. RSharma (WMF)

ఓసీఆర్ శిక్షణ

పుస్తకాలను పాఠ్యీకరించడంలో ఓసీఆర్ మనకు ఎంతగా ఉపకరిస్తున్నదో మనందరికి తెలుసు. ప్రస్తుతం మనం దీన్ని ఉపయోగించి బొమ్మను పాఠ్యంగా మారుస్తున్నాం. తర్వాత దాన్ని అచ్చుదిద్ది, ఆమోదించి బొమ్మ, పాఠ్యం రెండూ సరిపోయేలా చూస్తున్నాం. ఒక దశాబ్ద కాలం క్రితంతో పోలిస్తే ఓసీఆర్ ఉపకరణం చాలా వరకు మెరుగైంది. దీని వెనుక ఎంతో కృషి దాగిఉంది. అనేక మంది సభ్యుల శ్రమ ఉంది. అప్పట్లో ముఖ్యంగా రాకేష్ ఆచంట గారు ఇందులో చాలా కృషి చేసినట్లు గుర్తు. ప్రస్తుతం ఆయన యాక్టివ్ గా ఉన్నారో లేదో తెలియదు. ఓసీఆర్ ఉపకరణం బాగా పనిచేస్తున్నదంటే దానికి చాలా ఓపికగా శిక్షణ ఇచ్చి ఉండాలి. శిక్షణ ఇవ్వడం అంటే ముందుగా దానికి కొన్ని ఉదాహరణలు ఇవ్వాలి. బొమ్మ ఇది, దాని పాఠ్యం ఇది అని. అలా కొంతకాలం శిక్షణ ఇచ్చిన తర్వాత ముందు ఇవ్వని పేజీలు బొమ్మల రూపంలో ఇస్తే దానంతట అదే పాఠ్యం ఇవ్వడం మొదలుపెడుతుంది. ఒకవేళ అది సరిగ్గా లేకపోతే మనం దాన్ని సవరించి మళ్ళీ దానికి శిక్షణ ఇస్తే అది మరింత మెరుగైన పాఠ్యాన్ని ఇవ్వగలుగుతుంది. దీన్నే మనం ఫీడ్ బ్యాక్ అంటాం.

మనం ఎన్నో పేజీలు ఓసీఆర్ ఉపయోగించి పాఠ్యీకరిస్తున్నాం, తప్పులు సరిచేస్తున్నాం కానీ ఆ తప్పులు దానికి తెలిపేదెలా అని నేను వికీసోర్సు టెలిగ్రామ్ కమ్యూనిటీ లో ప్రశ్నించాను. దానికి వాళ్ళు చెప్పిన సమాధానం ప్రస్తుతం మనకు ఓసీఆర్ సౌలభ్యం ఇస్తున్నది గూగుల్ వారు. వారికి ఫీడ్ బ్యాక్ ఎలా ఇవ్వాలో మనకు తెలియదు అన్నారు. మనం గూగుల్ వాళ్ళని అడిగి ఆ ఉపకరణానికి మనం అచ్చుదిద్దిన పేజీలను ఫీడ్ బ్యాక్ గా ఇవ్వగలిగితే మనం మరింత నాణ్యమైన పాఠ్యాన్ని చూడవచ్చు. అలాగే మనం అచ్చుదిద్దే సమస్య కొంతవరకు సరళమవుతుంది. మరోవైపు గూగుల్ కూడా దీని నుంచి లబ్ది పొందుతుంది. ఈ ప్రతిపాదనను ముందుకు తీసుకువెళ్ళడానికి ఇతర సభ్యుల అభిప్రాయాలు కోరుతున్నాను. అర్జున, రాజశేఖర్, పవన్ సంతోష్, రహ్మాన్, చదువరి మీ అభిప్రాయాలు తెలియజేయండి -- రవిచంద్ర (చర్చ) 07:26, 27 మే 2020 (UTC)[ప్రత్యుత్తరం]

మీ ఆలోచన బావుంది @రవిచంద్ర: గారూ. ఇదే ఆలోచన వేరే ఉపకరణం విషయంలో చేశాను నేను. తెలుగు వికీపీడియాలో మనకు గూగుల్ అనువాద ఉపకరణం ఉంది కదా. దీన్ని ట్రెయిన్ చేయడానికి మనం సహకరించవచ్చా అని. ఓ మూడు నాలుగు నెలల క్రితం గూగుల్‌లో పనిచేసి, ప్రస్తుతం వికీమీడియా ఫౌండేషన్ వారి భారతీయ భాగస్వామ్యాల మేనేజర్‌ అయిన ప్రవీణ్‌ని సంప్రదిస్తే అది అసాధ్యమేమీ కాదు కానీ గూగుల్ వంటి పెద్ద కంపెనీలో ఒక చిన్న విధానపరమైన మార్పు తేవాలన్నా బయట నుంచి కష్టమవుతుందనీ, ఒకవేళ వికీమీడియా ఫౌండేషన్ చేయగలిగినదేమైనా ఉంటే సాంకేతికంగా చేయించుకోవడం మనకు సుళువనీ సమాధానం ఇచ్చిన గుర్తు. అయితే, అదేమీ అసాధ్యం కాదన్న విషయం, మనకు ఛానెల్స్ ఉన్నాయన్న విషయం దీని ద్వారా మనం గ్రహించవచ్చు. ఇదే కాక గూగుల్‌తో పనిచేస్తున్న ఒక పెద్ద బృందమే ఉంది ఫౌండేషన్‌లో (దాని ఫలితమే ఈ ఫలాలన్నీ) కాబట్టి, మనం ఈ విషయాన్ని కూలంకషంగా చర్చిస్తే ముందుకు తీసుకుపోవడానికి నేను వ్యక్తులను సంప్రదించి వారి దృష్టికి తీసుకువెళ్తాను. --Pavan santhosh.s (చర్చ) 09:37, 27 మే 2020 (UTC)[ప్రత్యుత్తరం]

@Pavan santhosh.s: మంచి సమాచారాన్ని అందించారు. నా ఆలోచన ఇది. మనం కొన్ని పేజీలపైన ఓసీఆర్ పరికరం వాడి పేజీని పూర్తిగా నాణ్యమైన పాఠ్యం తయారు చేశాక ఎంచుకున్న పేజీలను (నాణ్యత బాగున్నవి) వాళ్ళకి అందించేందుకు ఒక మార్గం కావాలి. అందుకు ఏం చేయగలమో ఆలోచించాలి. ప్రస్తుతానికి ఆటోమేటిగ్గా అన్ని ఆమోదించిన పేజీలు వారికి సమర్పించాల్సిన అవసరం లేదు, ఎందుకంటే చాలా పేజీలు ఆమోదించినవి అని చూపిస్తున్నా వాటిలో చాలా తప్పులున్నాయి. - రవిచంద్ర (చర్చ) 11:05, 27 మే 2020 (UTC)[ప్రత్యుత్తరం]

ఓసీఆర్ పరికరం గురించి నాకు అస్సలు అవగాహన లేదు. అది ఎలా పనిచేస్తుందో తెలవదు. అనువాద పరికరం లాగా తానే స్వయంగా నేర్చేసుకునే విశేషం గనక అందులో ఉంటే.., - అంటే, ఒక పక్కన బొమ్మను, మరో పక్క ఓసీఆర్ పాఠ్యాన్నీ పెట్టుకుని మనం చేసే సవరణలు ఓసీఆర్ పరికరానికి తెలిసే అవకాశం ఉంటే - ఇక మనం చెయ్యాల్సిందేమీ ఉండకపోవచ్చు. రవిచంద్ర గారూ, మీరనే ఫీడ్‌బ్యాకే ఇది. మంచి అలోచనండీ. కానీ ఇక్కడ మన అచ్చుదిద్దే పని అంత నాణ్యంగా ఉండదనేది నా గతానుభవం. అచ్చుదిద్దేసిన పేజీల్లో కూడా ఇంకా అనేక తప్పులు కనబడేవి. వాటిపై రచ్చబండలో చర్చలు కూడా జరిగాయి. అలాంటి వాటిని ఫీడ్‌బ్యాకుగా ఇవ్వలేం. ఇప్పుడు పరిస్థితి మెరుగుపడిందేమో తెలియదు.__Chaduvari (చర్చ) 15:46, 27 మే 2020 (UTC)[ప్రత్యుత్తరం]

Chaduvari గారూ, అవును ఓసీఆర్ కూడా నేర్చుకుంటుంది. కాకపోతే ప్రస్తుతం నాకు తెలిసిన సమాచారం ప్రకారం బొమ్మను పాఠ్యంగా మార్చడమే దాని పని. అంటే అది చేసే పని ఒక దిశలోనే అన్నమాట. మనం సవరించిన దానిని అది తిరిగి తీసుకుని నేర్చుకుని దాని తప్పులు సరిదిద్దుకుంటుందా? లేదా అని ఖచ్చితంగా తెలియదు. ఒకవేళ తీసుకోకుండా ఉంటే అలా ఇవ్వగలిగే మార్గం ఏమన్నా ఉందా అని అన్వేషిస్తున్నాను. అచ్చుదిద్దే పని అంత నాణ్యంగా జరగలేదని నేను కూడా గమనించాను కాబట్టే కొన్ని ఎంచుకున్న పేజీలే ఫీడ్ బ్యాకుగా ఇద్దామని ప్రతిపాదించానండీ. అన్నీ గుడ్డిగా ఇస్తే ప్రయోజనం లేదు. -రవిచంద్ర (చర్చ) 16:18, 27 మే 2020 (UTC)[ప్రత్యుత్తరం]

ఇలాంటి టూల్ ను టెస్సర్సాట్ ద్వారా తమిళ వికీలో Srini / info-farmer కొంతకాలంగా ప్రయత్నిస్తున్నట్లుగా తెలిసినది. వారితో ఒక వెబ్ మీటింగ్ ప్లాన్ చేసి అందులోని టెక్నికాలిటీస్ అర్ధం చేసుకొని, అలాంటి పద్ధతిని తెలుగు భాషకు ఉపయోగపడేటట్లుగా వికీసోర్స్ పేజీలను OCR చేసే నైపుణ్యాన్ని పెంపొందించుకోవచ్చుననిపిస్తున్నది. రవిచంద్ర గారు, చదువరి, పవన్, మొదలైన వారు ఇందులో నిపుణులు కాబట్టి వారిని లీడ్ తీసుకోమని కోరుతున్నాను.Rajasekhar1961 (చర్చ) 17:46, 27 మే 2020 (UTC)[ప్రత్యుత్తరం]

రవిచంద్ర గారికి, OCR సాఫ్ట్వేర్ శిక్షణ వివిధ రీతుల ఖతులున్న వివిధ పేజీలపై ఆధారపడుతుంది. ఇది క్లిష్టమైనది కూడా. గతంలో వికీసోర్స్ క్రియాశీలకవాడుకరి రాకేష్ ఆచంట తన సిద్ధాంత గ్రంథంకూడా దీనిపైనే రాశారు. మరిన్ని వివరాలు w:ఒసిఆర్(OCR) పేజీలోని మూలాలు చూడండి. ప్రస్తుతానికి గూగుల్ OCR వేగవంతంగాను మెరుగుగాను వున్నందున ఇతర పనులేవి అంత ఉపయోగం కాదని నా అభిప్రాయం.--అర్జున (చర్చ) 06:25, 30 మే 2020 (UTC)[ప్రత్యుత్తరం]

అర్జున గారూ, ప్రస్తుతం మనం వాడుతున్న రెండు పరికరాలు గూగుల్ వే అని విన్నాను. నేను ప్రతిపాదించింది కూడా గూగుల్ ఓసీఆర్ కి మనం శిక్షణ కోసం అచ్చుదిద్దిన నాణ్యమైన పేజీలు ఇద్దామనే. - రవిచంద్ర (చర్చ) 09:10, 30 మే 2020 (UTC)[ప్రత్యుత్తరం]

Feedback on movement names

నమస్తే. Apologies if you are not reading this message in your native language. Please help translate to your language if necessary. కృతజ్ఞతలు!

There are a lot of conversations happening about the future of our movement names. We hope that you are part of these discussions and that your community is represented.

Since 16 June, the Foundation Brand Team has been running a survey in 7 languages about 3 naming options. There are also community members sharing concerns about renaming in a Community Open Letter.

Our goal in this call for feedback is to hear from across the community, so we encourage you to participate in the survey, the open letter, or both. The survey will go through 7 July in all timezones. Input from the survey and discussions will be analyzed and published on Meta-Wiki.

Thanks for thinking about the future of the movement, --The Brand Project team, 19:39, 2 జూలై 2020 (UTC)

Note: The survey is conducted via a third-party service, which may subject it to additional terms. For more information on privacy and data-handling, see the survey privacy statement.

Announcing a new wiki project! Welcome, Abstract Wikipedia

Hi all,

It is my honor to introduce Abstract Wikipedia, a new project that has been unanimously approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees. Abstract Wikipedia proposes a new way to generate baseline encyclopedic content in a multilingual fashion, allowing more contributors and more readers to share more knowledge in more languages. It is an approach that aims to make cross-lingual cooperation easier on our projects, increase the sustainability of our movement through expanding access to participation, improve the user experience for readers of all languages, and innovate in free knowledge by connecting some of the strengths of our movement to create something new.

This is our first new project in over seven years. Abstract Wikipedia was submitted as a project proposal by Denny Vrandečić in May 2020 ^[1] after years of preparation and research, leading to a detailed plan and lively discussions in the Wikimedia communities. We know that the energy and the creativity of the community often runs up against language barriers, and information that is available in one language may not make it to other language Wikipedias. Abstract Wikipedia intends to look and feel like a Wikipedia, but build on the powerful, language-independent conceptual models of Wikidata, with the goal of letting volunteers create and maintain Wikipedia articles across our polyglot Wikimedia world.

The project will allow volunteers to assemble the fundamentals of an article using words and entities from Wikidata. Because Wikidata uses conceptual models that are meant to be universal across languages, it should be possible to use and extend these building blocks of knowledge to create models for articles that also have universal value. Using code, volunteers will be able to translate these abstract “articles” into their own languages. If successful, this could eventually allow everyone to read about any topic in Wikidata in their own language.

As you can imagine, this work will require a lot of software development, and a lot of cooperation among Wikimedians. In order to make this effort possible, Denny will join the Foundation as a staff member in July and lead this initiative. You may know Denny as the creator of Wikidata, a long-time community member, a former staff member at Wikimedia Deutschland, and a former Trustee at the Wikimedia Foundation ^[2]. We are very excited that Denny will bring his skills and expertise to work on this project alongside the Foundation’s product, technology, and community liaison teams.

It is important to acknowledge that this is an experimental project, and that every Wikipedia community has different needs. This project may offer some communities great advantages. Other communities may engage less. Every language Wikipedia community will be free to choose and moderate whether or how they would use content from this project.

We are excited that this new wiki-project has the possibility to advance knowledge equity through increased access to knowledge. It also invites us to consider and engage with critical questions about how and by whom knowledge is constructed. We look forward to working in cooperation with the communities to think through these important questions.

There is much to do as we begin designing a plan for Abstract Wikipedia in close collaboration with our communities. I encourage you to get involved by going to the project page and joining the new mailing list ^[3]. We recognize that Abstract Wikipedia is ambitious, but we also recognize its potential. We invite you all to join us on a new, unexplored path.

Yours,

Katherine Maher (Executive Director, Wikimedia Foundation)

Technical Wishes: FileExporter and FileImporter become default features on all Wikis

The FileExporter and FileImporter will become a default features on all wikis until August 7, 2020. They are planned to help you to move files from your local wiki to Wikimedia Commons easier while keeping all original file information (Description, Source, Date, Author, View History) intact. Additionally, the move is documented in the files view history. How does it work?

Step 1: If you are an auto-confirmed user, you will see a link "Move file to Wikimedia Commons" on the local file page.

Step 2: When you click on this link, the FileImporter checks if the file can in fact be moved to Wikimedia Commons. These checks are performed based on the wiki's configuration file which is created and maintained by each local wiki community.

Step 3: If the file is compatible with Wikimedia Commons, you will be taken to an import page, at which you can update or add information regarding the file, such as the description. You can also add the 'Now Commons' template to the file on the local wiki by clicking the corresponding check box in the import form. Admins can delete the file from the local wiki by enabling the corresponding checkbox. By clicking on the 'Import' button at the end of the page, the file is imported to Wikimedia Commons.

If you want to know more about the FileImporter extension or the Technical Wishes Project, follow the links. --For the Technical Wishes Team:

Feedback requested: Ebook Export Improvement Project

Note: This message is in English, but we encourage translation into other languages. Thank you!

Hello, everyone!

I am pleased to announce that the Community Tech team at WMF has posted our August update on the Wikisource Ebook Export Improvement project! This project came out of our 2020 Community Wishlist Survey, and it was the #1 wish voted on by survey participants.

So, what does this mean? In short, we want your feedback! Now that we have posted the August update, we want to know what you think. The update includes findings from our community consultation, results from two separate analyses conducted by the team (on improving WSExport reliability & font rendering support), and proposed next steps. It is our hope that people can read our analysis, share their feedback, and engage in a conversation with us on the talk page. Your feedback will be invaluable, and it will help determine the next steps of the project.

Thank you to everyone who has participated in the consultation so far! It's been a joy to explore how we can improve the ebook export experience. Now, we look forward to reading a new round of feedback on the project talk page!

Important: maintenance operation on September 1st

Read this message in another language • Please help translate to your language

The Wikimedia Foundation will be testing its secondary data centre. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster. To make sure everything is working, the Wikimedia Technology department needs to do a planned test. This test will show if they can reliably switch from one data centre to the other. It requires many teams to prepare for the test and to be available to fix any unexpected problems.

They will switch all traffic to the secondary data centre on Tuesday, September 1st 2020.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.

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 Tuesday, September 1st. The test will start at 14:00 UTC (15:00 BST, 16:00 CEST, 10:00 EDT, 19:30 IST, 07:00 PDT, 23:00 JST, and in New Zealand at 02:00 NZST on Wednesday September 2).
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.
There will be code freezes for the week of September 1st, 2020. Non-essential code deployments will not happen.

This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule. There will be more notifications about this. Please share this information with your community.
