Update on IPv6

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it, as well as the full version of this announcement on Meta)

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning to do limited testing of IPv6 on June 2-3. If there are not too many problems, we may fully enable IPv6 on World IPv6 day (June 6), and keep it enabled.

What this means for your project:

• At least on June 2-3, 2012, you may see a small number of edits from IPv6 addresses, which are in the form "2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334". See e.g. w:en:IPv6 address. These addresses should behave like any other IP address: You can leave messages on their talk pages; you can track their contributions; you can block them. (See the full version of this announcement for notes on range blocks.)

• In the mid term, some user scripts and tools will need to be adapted for IPv6.

• We suspect that IPv6 usage is going to be very low initially, meaning that abuse should be manageable, and we will assist in the monitoring of the situation.

Read the full version of this announcement on how to test the behavior of IPv6 with various tools and how to leave bug reports, and to find a fuller analysis of the implications of the IPv6 migration.

2011 Picture of the Year competition

македонски • norsk • polski

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2011 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We are interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year 2011. Any user registered at Commons or a Wikimedia wiki SUL-related to Commons with more than 75 edits before 1 April 2012 (UTC) is welcome to vote and, of course everyone is welcome to view!

Detailed information about the contest can be found at the introductory page.

About 600 of the best of Wikimedia Common's photos, animations, movies and graphics were chosen –by the international Wikimedia Commons community– out of 12 million files during 2011 and are now called Featured Pictures.

From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons Features Pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories.

We regret that you receive this message in English; we intended to use banners to notify you in your native language but there was both, human and technical resistance.

See you on Commons! --Picture of the Year 2011 Committee 5 jun 2012 20:32 (CEST)

Extra namespaces

Uit bureaucratische rompslomp hebben we een stemming nodig om 2 extra naamruimtes in te voeren die het werk met de djvu pagina's kunnen vereenvoudigen. Dus hierbij een stemming, bij 75% voor is deze aangenomen. [1]

Voor

• Asacha (overleg) 12 jun 2012 19:51 (CEST)
• Mathonius (overleg) 12 jun 2012 20:03 (CEST)
• WeeJeeVee (overleg) 12 jun 2012 21:14 (CEST)
• Dick Bos (overleg) 12 jun 2012 21:19 (CEST)
• Romaine (overleg) 16 jun 2012 01:45 (CEST) - het heeft echt niks met vereenvoudigen te maken, in de hoofdnaamruimte horen enkel en alleen zaken te staan die daadwerkelijk Wikisource-waardige inhoud bevatten. Als het djvu-systeem gewenst is, waar het sterk op lijkt, dan horen dat soort pagina's buiten de hoofdnaamruimte te staan, zoals een eigen naamruimte. Het enige punt van nadeel is de naamruimte "Overleg pagina" die hierbij tevens ontstaat en mogelijk qua naam bron van verwarring kan vormen. Romaine (overleg) 16 jun 2012 01:45 (CEST)

Voltooid

Per 13 juni zijn de twee naamruimtes nu aangemaakt. Nu dient er wel verder gegaan te worden door de situatie drastisch te laten verbeteren en alle problemen (genoemd op mijn overlegpagina) te bespreken, op te lossen en/of afspraken over te maken, zodat er een goedwerkend systeem komt op een manier die past bij dit project in deze taal. Zoals ik al zei ben ik bereid te helpen. (Sorry voor de vertraging mijnerzijds, de afgelopen weken was ik door persoonlijkheden onvoldoende helder om meer hierin te participeren, maar dat zal zeker gebeuren.) Romaine (overleg) 16 jun 2012 01:49 (CEST)

Nice work!

Great to see that you have the extra namespaces implemented. Can I suggest that you look at getting in place an Index: sandbox. You can see what I scrounged together at en:Wikisource:Sandbox/Index as a way to customise Mediawiki:Proofreadpage index template. We also set up en:Index:Sandbox.djvu and en:Page:Sandbox/1. While I am not the expert, if I can be of assistance, feel free to ping me here or in IRC #wikisource. — Billinghurst (overleg) 13 jun 2012 17:40 (CEST)

Mobile view as default view coming soon

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it, as well as the instructions on Meta)

The mobile view of this project and others will soon become the default view on mobile devices (except tablets). Some language versions of these projects currently show no content on the mobile home page, and it is a good time to do a little formatting so users get a mobile-friendly view, or to add to existing mobile content if some already exists.

If you are an administrator, please consider helping with this change. There are instructions which are being translated. The proposed date of switching the default view is June 21.

To contact the mobile team, email mobile-feedback-llists.wikimedia.org.
