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

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 edit

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 edit

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.

Ръчен хляб в България - Майстор Пекар. edit

Много ми става смешно, когато хората мислят, че хляба в Пекарната се появява от никъде, тоест идва Майстора и за пет минути лавиците са пълни с хляб. Ето затова реших да Ви разпиша един работен ден на Майстора Пекар:

За да има хляб в 08.00ч сутринта, то:

Майстора се събужда в 2.30 ч. през ноща. В 3.00 ч. е в Пекарната и в 3.30ч. вече е замесил. Средно Майстора прави 200-250 хляба на ден. Средно по 500 гр. С други думи 100 кг. хляб, но тази тежест му минава през ръцете няколко пъти. На работен ден през ръцете на Майстора минава около тон (1000кг) което прави в месец 26 тона, а на година 312 тона или грубо 63 000 ръчно замесени и направени хляба. Това всичко се прави от един човек. Работният ден на Майстора завършва когато му свърши хляба , но преди това той е успял: да изчисти след работата си Пекарната, да зареди продукти, да напише книгите по НАССР, да попише по счетоводство, да освежи закваските, да сложи опарите, да накисне семената и зърната, да общува във Фейсбук, да поговори с около 300 човека и др.

Пекарната се затваря между 16.00ч – 18.00ч. Майстора Пекар общува със своето семейство от 18.00ч. до 20.00ч. след това той спи за може да стане пак в 2.30ч през ноща. Майстора Пекар има само един почивен ден.

Затова моля всички, които са се сетили за хляб след 20.00 ч. да не звънят по телефона по късно от този час.

Навремето в Константинопол, човека, който е обидил или показал неуважение към Пекаря е бил наказван. Моето наказание за човек, който не уважава моят труд, тоест не уважава Хляба: имам пълното законово право да не му дам хляб. Така са наказвали престъпниците в древна Индия – една седмица без хляб.

Майстора

П.С. Ах, да. Забравих да се похваля: до сега като Пекар съм направил само на ръка, сам, 390 000 хляба. Като стигна милион значи съм си свършил работата- нахранил съм 1 000000 хора. Колко Пекаря трябват, за да се нахрани с хубав хляб всеки човек на земята? Това е за домашно......:))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ””

Letter petitioning WMF to reverse recent decisions edit

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 edit

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.

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

Kind regards, -- Rdicerb (WMF) talk 22:15, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Change in renaming process edit

Part or all of this message may be in English. Please help translate if possible.

Single-user login (SUL) finalisation's goal is so that every Wikimedia editor has a single, recognized global account with one username across all projects. As you may know, after a long delay, it's now underway as an effort between bureaucrats, stewards, and Wikimedia Foundation engineers. This will also allow for development of cross-wiki tools like global notifications and watchlists. There is no set date for the completion of single-user login finalization at this time.

The process involves changing all rename processes into one global renaming process. The ability for local bureaucrats to rename users on this wiki will be turned off on Monday, 15 September 2014, as one of the first steps. Global renamers are in the process of being created to make sure projects and languages are represented by the time this occurs. I sent a note to every bureaucrat about this process three weeks ago with an invitation to participate and many have begun requesting to be a part of the group. Together with the stewards, the global renamers will be empowered to help editors work through the often difficult process of getting a global name.

In parting, visit Special:MergeAccount to unify your account if you have never done so. If your local pages about renaming still need to be updated, please do so and consider pointing people to m:SRUC for future rename requests, especially if this project does not have bureaucrats that hold global renamer permissions. If you have any questions, you can read more on the help page on Meta. You can also follow the technical progress on mediawiki.org. Contact me on Meta any time with questions as well. Thank you for your time.

Meta RfCs on two new global groups edit

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) 18:04, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
