== Who does the WMF think it is? ==
Long story short, because this is off-topic, but since you asked: The only way to prevent it is to have effective management or supervisors ({{u|DannyH (WMF)}} is an example of one such a person) but in the apparent flat hierarchy of WikiMedia's Phabricator (and to a certain extent, the WMF) some individuals even unilaterally decide that tickets will not be processed. There are so many volunteers and paid devs all intermingled, that it's sometimes not easy to see the wood for the trees and to establish priorities. I'm not a code writer per se, but I've been a web and software project manager for decades, with a focus on end user demands (the major stake holders).
Over the years there has been plenty of research into the behavior of software application designers, with parallels in other fields, such as for example automobile design. One of the reasons is that they see themselves as artistic creators (such as movie directors, painters, composers, etc) from which they perceive an air of excellence. Another is the power or the impact one of them or a small group of them, can have over thousands or millions of end users/consumers. And finally, for a degree or doctoral level occupation, compared to some jobs they are relatively well paid. Finally, the great mistake many WMF employees make is that they forget that it's the effort of the thousands of volunteer contributors that bring n the donations that fuel the developers' egos and funds their salaries. [[User:Kudpung|Kudpung]] ([[User talk:Kudpung|talk]]) 02:35, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
:@[[User:Kudpung|Kudpung]] In one of my past lives, in the late 1990s or early 2000s, I worked as a "software architect" or "software designer" (I can't recall the exact name), producing tailor-made modules and applications in a team, and I very much recall and identify with the idea that it was mainly a creative work. There was a lower rank of workers which basically replicated what we produced, or did repetitive tasks, which we called the "Zés" (kind of "Johns"). I started myself as a "Zé", but as quickly went up in the hierarchy, due to a facility with logic and solution design. Anyway - we could be creative people, but we had very well defined objectives by our project managers. There was nothing this anarchy of developers saying they will not implement something because it's against their POV, or sitting upon something just because they can (something we call in Portugal "the syndrome of the holder of the toilet key". All that comes, apparently, from WMF relying on volunteers for project maintenance and improvement tasks. I have not the least idea why they do that, when - very strikingly and obviously - that doesn't work. Volunteers obviously do what they please when they please, and have not any duty to do more - and that's what they do. But it is more than time for the WMF to get this solved. One of the functions that pretty much everybody agrees the WMF is good & useful for is centralized maintenance of our projects. But, apparently, their's not doing that properly. [[User:DarwIn|<font color="#4153A0" face="Century Gothic" size="2">- '''Darwin'''</font>]] [[User talk:DarwIn|<font color="#4153A0"><sup>Ahoy!</sup></font>]] 14:46, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
::{{tq|'The syndrome of the holder of the toilet key'}} - I like that, it's so true. Unfortunately I have not been able to find an equivalent expression in English. The discussions {{U|Scottywong}} and I were involved in at Bugzilla 10 years ago over the huge [[en:Autoconfirmed article creation trial/2011 archive|ACTRIAL]] project we pioneered were very similar to the current Phab debacle, with the exception that at Bugzilla the paid WMF staff resorted to totally unacceptable personal attacks. Nowadays Phab is run by the [[mw:Bugwrangler]], who decides what tickets will be accepted and who also has some very firm ideas about Phab and 'Founding Policies' that might not be shared by everyone. The WMF has a history of making some very bad mistakes, and ones which have resulted in the loss or waste of hundreds of thousands of dollars, or where volunteers had to invest hundred of hours to clean up the mess made by the paid staff. Probably what works best is the general development of the MediaWiki software, but that's because it's used for thousands of other websites that are not connected with Wikipedia, and like many free open source software, people are able to earn money by developing and selling new features for it or developing websites with it for their clients. When it comes to developing extensions specifically for the Wikipedia encyclopedias, however, then it is a long and laborious process to get them approved and done and the non-emloyees at Phab who make so much noise should stay out of it. Nevertheless when {{u|DannyH (WMF)}}, then still relatively new at the WMF, decided to provide support for the ACTRIAL experiment seven years later, it was the happiest moment of my Wikipedia life, and it temporarily restored some of my faith in the WMF.
::Danny Horn is also responsible for Community Tech which runs the annual software wish list. He and I were at loggerheads for a couple of years but now I have come to understand the responsibilities he has. I just hope that he isn't spreading himself too thin. Community Tech is an excellent WMF initiative but it sometimes has problems with differentiating between essential software requirements and convenience gadgets. At least their work is based on the suggestions the community volunteers voted for but their official team of engineers is too small. Unfortunately there are still other parts of the WMF, involved more with ideology than technology, that work so badly that they are almost dysfunctional. Most volunteers just want to get in with job of building their encyclopedias and keeping them clean. However, due to the WMF wanting to become a socio-political movement with a global influence, rather than striking up a better collaboration, the actual rift between the WMF and the communities is getting wider. It's a gap I have tried to close many times but without much success. I'm not quite sure what [[User:STei (WMF)]]'s (anti harassment) actual role is in these discussions, but [[User:NKohli (WMF)]] was around during the ACTRIAL experiment and her institutional memory input will be invaluable.
::Whether or not some people at Phab find the 'Founding Principles' as being challenged, it's not for them to decide; it has to be understood that with the organic growth of the encyclopedias, the old ideologies made in good faith at the time now need to be brought in line with ''today's'' reality. I remember extremely well the ridiculous days in England when if you stopped in the shelter from the wind next to a public toilet to light a cigarette, you would be arrested by a patrolling police officer and charged with [[en:cottaging|''cottaging'']] - it was worse than [[en:MacCarthyism|MacCarthyism]] in the USA. Now in total contrast only 50 years later, in many modern jurisdictions even single gender marriages are allowed in law. On the issue of IP editing, the Portuguese Wikipedia has established an important precedent by asserting its independence. It's as your user name suggests: Evolution. [[User:Kudpung|Kudpung]] ([[User talk:Kudpung|talk]]) 23:57, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
:::@[[User:Kudpung|Kudpung]] Thank you very much for such powerful and knowledgeable insights. I still have difficulties understanding how platforms like Phabricator work, and why they seem to have the power of blocking community consensus, and your text was quite helpful with that. On the so called "funding principles" thing - a text that even states that Jimmy Wales has the last word on everything - I really fail to see why people are so adamant about the non registration thing, to the point of forcing the use of IP addresses, which are very easily traceable, and a permanent security and privacy issue for whoever uses them. I wonder, what is so strong and divisive about registering an username? I started using the (almost) Internet in 1991 or 1992, and back then we were still on Bitnet (PTEARN, more exactly), and I recall I already needed to use an username to pretty much everything. About the same time, we started using IRC, and showing our IPs there was already an issue, as it often allowed even for the identification of the physical VM terminal we were connecting from, so we gathered shells from here and there to disguise it as something else. I can't understand how the hell we departed from there, to the first Wikipedians in 2001 looking at IPs as "anonymous users". And, 20 years later, developers (!!) repeating the same absurdity.

== Call For Volunteer Facilitators Across Africa [[File:Egypt flag 300.png|30px]] [[File:Senegal flag.png|30px]] ==
[[File:The African Narrative.png|frameless|right||The African Narrative]]
Dear Wikimedian,
The Africa Narrative is seeking volunteer facilitators in Egypt (two volunteers) and Senegal (two volunteers) for the AfroCreatives Wikiproject.
[[The Africa Narrative|The AfroCreatives Wikiproject]] aims to support and mobilize creatives and professionals from the African creative sector, as well as enthusiasts more broadly, to contribute and enhance knowledge on Wikipedia about Africa’s creative economy. Its inaugural effort will target the film sectors of Egypt, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Senegal.
[https://www.theafricanarrative.org/ The Africa Narrative] (TAN) is a non-profit that develops singular, high-impact initiatives in support of African creatives and the African cultural and creative industries with the aim to strengthen capacity in the continent’s creative economy and the global visibility of African cultural soft power.
All volunteers must have full professional proficiency in English. In Senegal, they must have native or full professional proficiency in French; in Egypt, they must have native or full professional proficiency in Arabic. Volunteer facilitators should have a vast knowledge about Wikimedia projects and experience with teaching new editors. '''All volunteers will be compensated.'''
Interested participants may sign up on the project's Meta page. You may also indicate your country and email if your Wikipedia account is not associated with any email address.
[[The Africa Narrative/Volunteers]]
'''We will be glad if you can share with or recommend an Egyptian or Senegalese Wikipedian as well.'''
Thank you.

== Campaigns Product Update #3 ==
Hello '''Campaigns Product Newsletter''' subscribers!
We are excited to share our updates:
*'''Proposal to create new namespaces''': We have proposed to create two namespaces, which are “'''Event'''” and “'''Event talk'''.” This way, we can easily create an Event Center that pulls data from event pages. This Event Center may include tools to create event pages with registration support, a calendar of events, and event statistics, among other features. More importantly, the Event Center will highlight organizing as an essential part of the Wikimedia movement. Please give us feedback on [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T296280 Phabricator] or [[m:Talk:Campaigns/Foundation Product Team/Registration#Feedback_on_March_2022_update|Meta]] about our proposal to create two new namespaces.
*'''Engineering updates''': We are excited that we have finished hiring for our engineering team! Three engineers and an engineering manager have joined our team since our last update. In the last few months, they have conducted technical planning and launched the building phase of the project. They are now building the registration tool. You can see the [[m:Campaigns/Foundation Product Team|updated team on meta]].
*'''Design updates''': We conducted usability tests with a small group of testers for early feedback on the desktop wireframes. After collecting this feedback, we have developed a new version for desktop wireframes, which will be ready to share in the next few weeks. These desktop wireframes display the user flow of two experiences: one for organizers who want to add registration to their event pages, and another for participants who want to register for an event. Additionally, the design team is also currently working on the first version of mobile wireframes, which will be shared during the next office hour.
::1. View the latest desktop wireframes in '''Figma''' for [https://www.figma.com/proto/h0iZo5Tj6LHpsFDsInWiG0/Pilot---Event-Registration?node-id=1899%3A44995&scaling=min-zoom&page-id=1472%3A36710&starting-point-node-id=1899%3A44995&show-proto-sidebar=1&hide-ui=1 Campaign Organizer Prototype] and [https://www.figma.com/proto/h0iZo5Tj6LHpsFDsInWiG0/Pilot---Event-Registration?node-id=1998%3A49612&scaling=min-zoom&page-id=1472%3A36710&starting-point-node-id=1998%3A49612&show-proto-sidebar=1&hide-ui=1 Participant Registration Prototype].
::2. [[m:Talk:Campaigns/Foundation Product Team/Registration#Feedback_on_project_principles_&_wireframes_(October_2021)|Leave us some feedback]] on the desktop wireframes. Note that we haven’t posted the newest version of the desktop wireframes on the project page yet, but we will soon (and you can feel free to add feedback on any version you have seen).
*'''Ambassador updates''': Three product ambassadors for the Arabic, French and Swahili communities have now joined our team! They will help us collect feedback from Wikimedia communities about the project and understand the needs of organizers, through gathering first-hand information. These ambassadors are immersed as actual members of these communities, so they will also help us identify the needs of the organizers in our pilot communities. The ambassadors are: [[m:User:Bachounda (WMF)|'''M. Bachounda''']] for Arabic communities, [[m:User:Geugeor-WMF|'''Georges Fodouop''']] for French communities, and [[m:User:AMtavangu (WMF)|'''Antoni Mtavangu''']] for Swahili communities.
'''What is next?'''
:'''Next Office Hour''': We will be holding an office hour on '''March 31, 2022''' at 15:00 UTC, which will be conducted via [https://wikimedia.zoom.us/j/82046580320 '''Zoom''']. We invite everyone to attend, and we really hope to see you! The focus will be on the Registration Tool. The team will also be providing community updates on the usability test findings and design highlights for the wireframes. We will also share our current Project timeline and answer any questions you may have. [[m:Campaigns/Foundation Programs Team/Office Hours/2022 03|Join us and share your thoughts on these developments!]]
:In a few months, we are expecting to have the early testable version of the tool. By then, the team will be doing the first round of general testing and gathering feedback. We are looking forward to adding more features on the tool such as communication support, potentially by the end of this year. If you know other organizers that might be interested in following these developments, please recommend that they [[m:Campaigns/Foundation Product Team/Subscribers|subscribe to the newsletter]]. We want to receive as much feedback as we can.
Thank you!

== Event Registration Tool: Demo and Invitation to Test ==
Hello Subscribers!
[[m:Campaigns/Foundation Product Team|'''The Campaigns Product Team''']] from the Wikimedia Foundation will be hosting two office hours to demo the new [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Campaigns/Foundation Product Team/Registration|'''Event Registration Tool''']], and train organizers how to use it. In these office hours, you will learn how to:
* Create an event page in the new event namespace (as an event organizer)
* Enable registration on your event page (as an event organizer)
* Collect data on who registered for your event (as an event organizer)
* Register for an event on the event page (as an event participant)
You can attend one office hour or both, depending on your availability on the following dates:
* Session 1: '''Thursday, July 21, 2022 at 5:00 PM UTC'''
* Session 2: '''Saturday, July 23, 2022 at 12:00 PM UTC'''
These events will be multilingual, with live interpretations in '''Arabic''', '''English''', '''French''', '''Italian''', and '''Portuguese''', and '''Swahili'''. Note that Portuguese will be available on the 21st, but not the 23rd. We strongly encourage you to join and share your feedback on the tool. Your feedback will help us improve the tool so that Wikimedians can have a better event experience. To register, please reply to this email or [[m:Campaigns/Foundation Programs Team/Office Hours/2022 07|'''''sign-up to our page''''']], by adding your signature.

== Campaigns Product Update #4 ==
Hello '''Campaigns Product Newsletter''' subscribers!
We are excited to share our updates:
*<div style = "text-align:left; color: #192980; font-size: 1em;>'''Event Registration v0'''</div>
:We have successfully launched '''Event Registration tool V0''' on beta cluster and collected feedback from the first batch of testers. This tool is part of a more comprehensive organizing solution, the '''Event Center''', which hopes to support movement organizers. Through this registration solution, organizers can collect useful data on campaign participants and their needs while respecting participant privacy.
:'''Testing update'''. In our first round of feedback collection, testers were composed of different types of organizers around the movement with a language focus on Arabic, French, English, and Swahili communities. Most of the testers successfully created their test event registrations and signed up for a test event registration created by other organizers. '''''Simple''''', '''''easy to use''''', and '''''aids in managing event participants''''' were the common feedback we received from first-time users. In contrast, access and proper localization of the tool were the points for improvement identified. We are working on V1, which will include '''communication support''' and integration with the [https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/ '''Programs and Event Dashboard''']. This will be released on Meta-Wiki soon. We hope to address accessibility during this launch and improve localization problems once the tool has been deployed in local wikiprojects.
:[https://meta.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page ''The tool is still available for testing on the beta cluster'']. Feel free to leave feedback on our project talk page or this [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe53MNV9CKVBAF3SV2q97baufizH7b_2QJ47H1w0Upvoh4QFQ/viewform form].
*<div style = "text-align:left; color: #192980; font-size: 1em;>'''Organizer Lab'''</div> Looking for a way to learn how to effectively organize around sustainability? Join the beta version of the Organizer Lab on WikiLearn to understand how to effectively organize a global campaign around sustainability and climate change! Applications are open from '''September 22 - October 19, 2022'''. The Organizer Lab will be a '''9-week online learning experience from the end of October until mid December''' that prepares participants to obtain knowledge about the topics that they wish to create, a call to action for strategic knowledge gaps, as well as more generalized Wikimedia organizing and campaign/event design skills.

'''What's Next''':
*'''Organizer Lab Information Session'''. We invite you to join our information session for the Organizer Lab on [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1664546421 '''September 30, 2022 at 14:00 UTC'''] via '''Zoom'''. [https://wikimedia.zoom.us/j/89032870014 ''Join this session!'']<br>
*'''Organizer User Rights'''. We are reaching out to a pool of administrators from Arabic, French and Swahili communities to collect feedback on what is the best way to define organizer user rights, what privileges to give to community organizers, and what are the limitations of these privileges. Feel free to reach out to our [[m:Campaigns/Foundation Product Team|product ambassadors]] or send an email to '''ibrazal-ctr@wikimedia.org''' if you are interested to be part of these conversations.

You receive this message because you have voted for [[Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Miscellaneous/Show nearby or related articles in maps|show nearby or related articles in maps]] in this year’s Community Wishlist Survey.
I am happy to let you know that soon it will be possible '''to automatically display nearby articles in a map''' on Commons and other Wikimedia projects using [[mw:Help:Extension:Kartographer|Kartographer]]. This feature is one of the improvements to Kartographer the [[WMDE Technical Wishes|Technical Wishes Team]] from Wikimedia Germany has been working on. Each Kartographer generated map in full-screen mode is now given a [[WMDE Technical Wishes/Geoinformation/Nearby articles|new “Show nearby articles” button]] at the bottom. It can be used to show and hide up to 50 geographically close articles.
The deployment of this feature is planned for 12 October on a first group of wikis. After the first feedback phase, more wikis will follow. Read more on [[WMDE Technical Wishes/Geoinformation/Nearby articles|our project page]].

Thanks for your information about the handling of theses other language Wikipedias. We are often in a bubble on the English wikipedia. [[User:Hawkeye7|Hawkeye7]] ([[User talk:Hawkeye7|talk]]) 18:24, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
:@[[User:Hawkeye7|Hawkeye7]] I've understood how tricky it was to edit there at wiki.en when I was working on the biography of congressman Francis B. Spinola. His father is recorded as being from Funchal, Portugal, he himself is recorded as saying he was of Portuguese ascendancy, and his surname is very common in Madeira island, where his father was from, deriving from a XV century man from Genova which settled there. But as he worked with the Italian community, and the surname was "Italian", many people assumed he was Italian, and he's recorded in a lot of places as such - even if the primary sources say otherwise, and that confusion was even mentioned in one of his death eulogies on Congress when he passed away. So it was basically impossible to remove from there the false affirmation that he was italo-american, because "secondary sources say so". *shrug*. I'm very glad the Portuguese speaking project is not like that - that's one of the main reasons I'm contributing to it for more than 16 years already.
