Terms of Use update [تعديل]
I apologize that you are receiving this message in English. Please help translate it.
Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is discussing changes to its Terms of Use. The discussion can be found at Talk:Terms of use. Everyone is invited to join in. Because the new version of Terms of use is not in final form, we are not able to present official translations of it. Volunteers are welcome to translate it, as German volunteers have done at m:Terms of use/de, but we ask that you note at the top that the translation is unofficial and may become outdated as the English version is changed.

Announcing Wikipedia 1.19 beta [تعديل]
Wikimedia Foundation is getting ready to push out 1.19 to all the WMF-hosted wikis. As we finish wrapping up our code review, you can test the new version right now on beta.wmflabs.org. For more information, please read the release notes or the start of the final announcement.
The following are the areas that you will probably be most interested in:
- Faster loading of javascript files makes dependency tracking more important.
- New common*.css files usable by skins instead of having to copy piles of generic styles from MonoBook or Vector's css.
- The default user signature now contains a talk link in addition to the user link.
- Searching blocked usernames in block log is now clearer.
- Better timezone recognition in user preferences.
- Improved diff readability for colorblind people.
- The interwiki links table can now be accessed also when the interwiki cache is used (used in the API and the Interwiki extension).
- More gender support (for instance in logs and user lists).
- Language converter improved, e.g. it now works depending on the page content language.
- Time and number-formatting magic words also now depend on the page content language.
- Bidirectional support further improved after 1.18.
Report any problems on the labs beta wiki and we'll work to address them before they software is released to the production wikis.
Note that this cluster does have SUL but it is not integrated with SUL in production, so you'll need to create another account. You should avoid using the same password as you use here. — Global message delivery 23:56، 14 يناير 2012 (ت ع م)

Survey invitation [تعديل]
First, I apologize that part of this message is in English. If you can assist by translating it for your local community, I would greatly appreciate it.
The Wikimedia Foundation would like to invite you to take part in a brief survey.
شكرا لأخذكم كامل الوقت لاستكمال استبيان توزيع الأموال حسب الأولوية لسنة 2012. تأمل المؤسسة مع هذا الاستبيان في معرفة ما يحتاج إليه أعضاء ويكيميديا من موارد (بعضها يتطلب التمويل)، وكيف ترتب حسب الأولوية. لن تذكر جميع برامج المؤسسة هنا ( تستثنى منها العمليات الأساسية على وجه الخصوص) – وتذكر فقط الموارد التي قد يطلبها المساهمون الفرديون أو المؤسسات الفرعية التابعة لويكيميديا مثل الفصول.
يتمثل الهدف هنا في تحديد ما يمكن أن يكون مهما بالنسبة لك أنت كفرد (أو مجموعة، مثل الفصول أو الأندية) في ترتيب الخيارات حسب الأفضلية. فضلنا عدم ذكر أشياء مثل "الحفاظ على عمل الخوادم"، لأنها لا تعد مسؤولية فردية للمحررين أو المنظمات التطوعية. يهدف هذا الاستبيان إلى تعريفنا بأولويات التمويل التي يتفق ويختلف فيها المساهمون.
To read more about the survey, and to take part, please visit the survey page. You may select the language in which to take the survey with the pull-down menu at the top.
This invitation is being sent only to those projects where the survey has been translated in full or in majority into your language. It is, however, open to any contributor from any project. Please feel free to share the link with other Wikimedians and to invite their participation.
If you have any questions for me, please address them to my talk page, since I won’t be able to keep an eye at every point where I place the notice.

Update on IPv6 [تعديل]
(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 [تعديل]
македонски • norsk bokmål • 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 18:02، 5 يونيو 2012 (بالتوقيت العالمي)

Mobile view as default view coming soon [تعديل]
(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.

Help decide about more than $10 million of Wikimedia donations in the coming year [تعديل]
(Apologies if this message isn't in your language. Please consider translating it)
Hi,
As many of you are aware, the Wikimedia Board of Trustees recently initiated important changes in the way that money is being distributed within the Wikimedia movement. As part of this, a new community-led "Funds Dissemination Committee" (FDC) is currently being set up. Already in 2012-13, its recommendations will guide the decisions about the distribution of over 10 million US dollars among the Foundation, chapters and other eligible entities.
Now, seven capable, knowledgeable and trustworthy community members are sought to volunteer on the initial Funds Dissemination Committee. It is expected to take up its work in September. In addition, a community member is sought to be the Ombudsperson for the FDC process. If you are interested in joining the committee, read the call for volunteers. Nominations are planned to close on August 15.

Request for Comment: Legal Fees Assistance Program [تعديل]
I apologize for addressing you in English. I would be grateful if you could translate this message into your language.
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a request for comment on a proposed program that could provide legal assistance to users in specific support roles who are named in a legal complaint as a defendant because of those roles. We wanted to be sure that your community was aware of this discussion and would have a chance to participate in that discussion.
If this page is not the best place to publicize this request for comment, please help spread the word to those who may be interested in participating. (If you'd like to help translating the "request for comment", program policy or other pages into your language and don't know how the translation system works, please come by my user talk page at m:User talk:Mdennis (WMF). I'll be happy to assist or to connect you with a volunteer who can assist.)

Wikidata is getting close to a first roll-out [تعديل]
(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.)
As some of you might already have heard Wikimedia Deutschland is working on a new Wikimedia project. It is called m:Wikidata. The goal of Wikidata is to become a central data repository for the Wikipedias, its sister projects and the world. In the future it will hold data like the number of inhabitants of a country, the date of birth of a famous person or the length of a river. These can then be used in all Wikimedia projects and outside of them.
The project is divided into three phases and "we are getting close to roll-out the first phase". The phases are:
- language links in the Wikipedias (making it possible to store the links between the language editions of an article just once in Wikidata instead of in each linked article)
- infoboxes (making it possible to store the data that is currently in infoboxes in one central place and share the data)
- lists (making it possible to create lists and similar things based on queries to Wikidata so they update automatically when new data is added or modified)
It'd be great if you could join us, test the demo version, provide feedback and take part in the development of Wikidata. You can find all the relevant information including an FAQ and sign-up links for our on-wiki newsletter on the Wikidata page on Meta.
For further discussions please use this talk page (if you are uncomfortable writing in English you can also write in your native language there) or point me to the place where your discussion is happening so I can answer there.

Fundraising localization: volunteers from outside the USA needed [تعديل]
Please translate for your local community
Hello All,
The Wikimedia Foundation's Fundraising team have begun our 'User Experience' project, with the goal of understanding the donation experience in different countries outside the USA and enhancing the localization of our donation pages. I am searching for volunteers to spend 30 minutes on a Skype chat with me, reviewing their own country's donation pages. It will be done on a 'usability' format (I will ask you to read the text and go through the donation flow) and will be asking your feedback in the meanwhile.
The only pre-requisite is for the volunteer to actually live in the country and to have access to at least one donation method that we offer for that country (mainly credit/debit card, but also real-time banking like IDEAL, E-wallets, etc...) so we can do a live test and see if the donation goes through. All volunteers will be reimbursed of the donations that eventually succeed (and they will be low amounts, like 1-2 dollars)
By helping us you are actually helping thousands of people to support our mission of free knowledge across the world. Please sing up and help us with our 'User Experience' project! :) If you are interested (or know of anyone who could be) please email ppena@wikimedia.org. All countries needed (excepting USA)!
Thanks!

أعزائنا الويكيميديين،
تسعد ويكيميديا كومنز بأن تعلن أن مسابقة صورة عام 2012 مفتوحة الآن. نحن مهتمون بمعرفة ما هي الصور التي تستحق التأهل لتصبح صورة عام 2012. التصويت مفتوح لكل مستخدمي ويكيميديا الذين يستوفون المعايير الآتية:
-
- يجب أن يكون لدى المستخدم حساب مسجل في مشروع ويكي ميديا قبل الثلاثاء, ١.١.٢٠١٣ ٠٠:٠٠[UTC].
- يجب أن يكون لدى المستخدم أكثر من 75 تعديل في أي من مشاريع ويكي ميديا قبل الثلاثاء, ١.١.٢٠١٣ ٠٠:٠٠[UTC]. الرجاء التحقق من أهلية حسابك بإستخدام (SUL).
- يجب أن يصوت المستخدم بحساب يلبي الطلبات المذكورة إما على كومنز أو على مشروع ويكيميدي يستخدم خاصية الحساب الموحد ( لمشاريع ويكيميديا الأخرى يجب أن يكون حساب المستخدم مقترن بكومنز عن طريق هذه الخاصية).
لقد تم إشراك المئات من الصورالتي تم تصنيفها كمختارة من قبل مجتمع ويكيميديا الدولي. فقد قامت كومنز بعرض صور من جميع أنحاء العالم. من صور حرفية لحيوانات ونباتات إلى صورة بانورامية وأفقية (skyline) كادت ان تسلب العقول؛ من ترميمات لصور لها مغزى تاريخي، إلى صور تبرز أفضل معمار العالم؛ كما تم ضم خرائط، شعارات ورسوم بيانية منشأة بأحدث تكنولوجيا وبورتريهات تأخذ الألباب؛ وصور من كل صنف وذوق.
لراحتك، قمنا بتصنيف الصور إلى أقسام حسب الموضوع. وسيتم إجراء التصويت على مرحلتين. في المرحلة الأولى، يمكنك التصويت لكل الصور التي تروق لك. سيتم تأهيل الصور التي أخذت المركز الأول في فئتها بالإضافة إلى الصور التى حازت على المراكز العشر الأولى عامةً إلى المرحلة النهائية من التصويت. في المرحلة النهائية، عندما يتبقى عدد محدود من الصور، ستتمكن من التصويت لصورة واحدة فقط؛ الصورة التي تود لها أن تغدو لتتوج كصورة العام.
لتتصفح الصور المرشحة، الرجاء الذهاب إلى the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons.
ويكيميديا كومنز تحتفل بصورنا المختارة لعام 2012 بهذه المسابقة. تصويتك هو الذي سيحدد صورة العام. لذا تذكر أن تصوت في لمرحلة الأولى قبل 30 يناير 2013.
شكرا،
لجنة ويكيميديا كومنز لصورة العام

Convert complex templates to Lua to make them faster and more powerful [تعديل]
(Please consider translating this message for the benefit of your fellow Wikimedians)
Greetings. As you might have seen on the Wikimedia tech blog or the tech ambassadors list, a new functionality called "Lua" is being enabled on all Wikimedia sites today. Lua is a scripting language that enables you to write faster and more powerful MediaWiki templates.
If you have questions about how to convert existing templates to Lua (or how to create new ones), we'll be holding two support sessions on IRC next week: one on Wednesday (for Oceania, Asia & America) and one on Friday (for Europe, Africa & America); see m:IRC office hours for the details. If you can't make it, you can also get help at mw:Talk:Lua scripting.

Hello!
There is a new request for comment on Meta-Wiki concerning the removal of administrative rights from long-term inactive Wikimedians. Generally, this proposal from stewards would apply to wikis without an administrators' review process.
We are also compiling a list of projects with procedures for removing inactive administrators on the talk page of the request for comment. Feel free to add your project(s) to the list if you have a policy on administrator inactivity.

[en] Change to section edit links [تعديل]
The default position of the "edit" link in page section headers is going to change soon. The "edit" link will be positioned adjacent to the page header text rather than floating opposite it.
Section edit links will be to the immediate right of section titles, instead of on the far right. If you're an editor of one of the wikis which already implemented this change, nothing will substantially change for you; however, scripts and gadgets depending on the previous implementation of section edit links will have to be adjusted to continue working; however, nothing else should break even if they are not updated in time.
Detailed information and a timeline is available on meta.
Ideas to do this all the way to 2009 at least. It is often difficult to track which of several potential section edit links on the far right is associated with the correct section, and many readers and anonymous or new editors may even be failing to notice section edit links at all, since they read section titles, which are far away from the links.
