ಲಾಗಿನ್ ಆಗದ, ಐಪಿ ಎಡ್ರಸ್ ಸಂಪಾದಕರನ್ನು ನಿರ್ಬಂಧಿಸುವ ಬಗ್ಗೆ
ಕನ್ನಡ ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಹಳಷ್ಟು ಸಂಪಾದಕರು ಲಾಗಿನ್ ಆಗದೆ ಸಂಪಾದಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. ಈ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನಿರ್ವಾಹಕರು ಎಚ್ಚರವಹಿಸಿ.
ಚರ್ಚೆ
- ಲಾಗಿನ್ ಆಗದವರು ಸಂಪಾದಿಸದಂತೆ ನಿರ್ಬಂಧಿಸಲು ಹೊಸ ಪಾಲಿಸಿಯನ್ನು ಮಾಡಬೇಕೆಂದು ನಿರ್ವಾಹಕರ ಗಮನಕ್ಕೆ ತರುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಜೊತೆಗೆ ಹೊಸ ಸಂಪಾದಕರು ಲಾಗಿನ್ ಆದ ಕೂಡಲೇ ಅವರನ್ನು ಪರಿಚಯಿಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಮುಂದುವರಿಯುವಂತೆ ಸಂಪಾದನೋತ್ಸವಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಒತ್ತಾಯಿಸುವುದನ್ನೂ ಮಾಡಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತದೆ. ಯಾಕೆಂದರೆ ನಿನ್ನೆ ಇವತ್ತು ತುಂಬ ಹೊಸ ಲೇಖನಗಳು ಬಂದಿವೆ. ಅವುಗಳನ್ನು ಸ್ವಚ್ಛಗೊಳಿಸಲು ಮತ್ತೆ ಮತ್ತೆ ಸಂಪಾದನೋತ್ಸವಗಳನ್ನು ಮಾಡಬೇಕಾದೀತು. ಈ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನನ್ನ ಅನಿಸಿಕೆಯನ್ನು ವ್ಯಕ್ತಪಡಿಸಿದ್ದೇನೆ.--Vishwanatha Badikana (ಚರ್ಚೆ) ೧೮:೪೦, ೧೫ ನವೆಂಬರ್ ೨೦೨೪ (IST)

Dear Wikimedians,
We are excited to Initiate the discussions about India’s potential bid to host Wikimania 2027, the annual international conference of the Wikimedia movement. This is a call to the community to express interest and share ideas for organizing this flagship event in India.

This is the first step in a collaborative journey. We invite all interested community members to contribute to the discussion, share your thoughts, and help shape the vision for hosting Wikimania 2027 in India.
Your participation will ensure this effort reflects the strength and diversity of the Indian Wikimedia community. Please join the conversation on Meta page and help make this vision a reality!

New Wikimedia Campaign Launching Tomorrow: Indic Writing Systems Campaign 2025
Dear Wikimedians,
We are excited to announce the launch of the Indic writing systems campaign 2025, which will take place from 23 January 2025 (World Endangered Writing Day) to 21 February 2025 (International Mother Language Day). This initiative is part of the ongoing efforts of WikiProject writing Systems to raise awareness about the documentation and revitalization of writing systems, many of which are currently underrepresented or endangered.
Representatives from important organizations that work with writing systems, such as Endangered Alphabets and the Script Encoding Initiative, support the campaign. The campaign will feature two primary activities focused on the list of target scripts:
- Wikidata Labelathon: A focused effort to improve and expand the information related to South Asian scripts on Wikidata.
- Wikipedia Translatathon: A collaborative activity aimed at enhancing the coverage of South Asian writing systems and their cultural significance on Wikipedia.
We are looking for local organizers to engage their respective communities. If you are interested in organizing, kindly sign-up here. We also encourage all Indic Wikimedians to join us in this important campaign to help document and celebrate the diverse writing systems of South Asia.
Thank you for your support, and we look forward to your active participation.

Feminism and Folklore 2025 starts soon

Dear Wiki Community,
You are humbly invited to organize the Feminism and Folklore 2025 writing competition from February 1, 2025, to March 31, 2025 on your local Wikipedia. This year, Feminism and Folklore will focus on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics for the project, with a Wiki Loves Folklore gender gap focus and a folk culture theme on Wikipedia.
You can help Wikipedia's coverage of folklore from your area by writing or improving articles about things like folk festivals, folk dances, folk music, women and queer folklore figures, folk game athletes, women in mythology, women warriors in folklore, witches and witch hunting, fairy tales, and more. Users can help create new articles, expand or translate from a generated list of suggested articles.
Organisers are requested to work on the following action items to sign up their communities for the project:
- Create a page for the contest on the local wiki.
- Set up a campaign on CampWiz tool.
- Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes.
- Request local admins for site notice.
- Link the local page and the CampWiz link on the meta project page.
This year, the Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced two new tools to enhance support for the campaign. These tools include the Article List Generator by Topic and CampWiz. The Article List Generator by Topic enables users to identify articles on the English Wikipedia that are not present in their native language Wikipedia. Users can customize their selection criteria, and the tool will present a table showcasing the missing articles along with suggested titles. Additionally, users have the option to download the list in both CSV and wikitable formats. Notably, the CampWiz tool will be employed for the project for the first time, empowering users to effectively host the project with a jury. Both tools are now available for use in the campaign. Click here to access these tools
Learn more about the contest and prizes on our project page. Feel free to contact us on our meta talk page or by email us if you need any assistance.
We look forward to your immense coordination.
Thank you and Best wishes,

Editing contest about Norway
Hello! Please excuse me from writing in English. If this post should be posted on a different page instead, please feel free to move it (or tell me to move it).
I am Jon Harald Søby from the Norwegian Wikimedia chapter, Wikimedia Norge. During the month of April, we are holding an editing contest about India on the Wikipedias in Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian Nynorsk, Northern Sámi and Inari Sámi̩, and we had the idea to also organize an "inverse" contest where contributors to Indian-language Wikipedias can write about Norway and Sápmi.
Therefore, I would like to invite interested participants from the Kannada-language Wikipedia (it doesn't matter if you're from India or not) to join the contest by visiting this page in the Norwegian Bokmål Wikipedia and following the instructions that are there.
Hope to see you there! Jon Harald Søby (WMNO) (ಚರ್ಚೆ) ೧೫:೫೦, ೪ ಏಪ್ರಿಲ್ ೨೦೨೫ (IST)

Sub-referencing: User testing

Apologies for writing in English, please help us by providing a translation below
Hi I’m Johannes from Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes team. We are making great strides with the new sub-referencing feature and we’d love to invite you to take part in two activities to help us move this work further:
- Try it out and share your feedback
- Please try the updated wikitext feature on the beta wiki and let us know what you think, either on our talk page or by booking a call with our UX researcher.
- Get a sneak peak and help shape the Visual Editor user designs
- Help us test the new design prototypes by participating in user sessions – sign up here to receive an invite. We're especially hoping to speak with people from underrepresented and diverse groups. If that's you, please consider signing up! No prior or extensive editing experience is required. User sessions will start May 14th.
We plan to bring this feature to Wikimedia wikis later this year. We’ll reach out to wikis for piloting in time for deployments. Creators and maintainers of reference-related tools and templates will be contacted beforehand as well.
Thank you very much for your support and encouragement so far in helping bring this feature to life!Johannes Richter (WMDE) (talk) ೨೦:೩೩, ೨೮ ಏಪ್ರಿಲ್ ೨೦೨೫ (IST)

We will be enabling the new Charts extension on your wiki soon!
(Apologies for posting in English)
Hi all! We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them.
As you probably know, the old Graph extension was disabled in 2023 due to security reasons. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the Charts extension, which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the EasyTimeline extension.
After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki.
The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from May 6. Please, consult our page on MediaWiki.org to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also consult the documentation about the extension on MediaWiki.org.
If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org, or ping me directly under this thread. If you encounter issues using Charts once it gets enabled on your wiki, please report it on the talk page or at Phabricator.

RfC ongoing regarding Abstract Wikipedia (and your project)
(Apologies for posting in English, if this is not your first language)
Hello all! We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of Abstract Wikipedia: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too.
We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.
You can read the various hypothesis and have your say at Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content. Thank you in advance! -- Sannita (WMF) (ಚರ್ಚೆ) ೨೦:೫೬, ೨೨ ಮೇ ೨೦೨೫ (IST)
Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2025 Selection & Call for Questions
Dear all,
This year, the term of 2 (two) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.
The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].
Here are the key planned dates:
- May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
- June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
- July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
- August 2025: Campaign period
- August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
- October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
- Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated
Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [link].
Call for Questions
In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [link]
Election Volunteers
Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [link].

The new team includes most members from the former A2K team, along with colleagues from IIIT-H already involved in Wikimedia and Open Knowledge work. Through this integration, our commitment to partnering with Indic Wikimedia communities, the GLAM sector, and broader open knowledge networks remains strong and ongoing. Learn more at our Team’s page on Meta-Wiki.
We’ll also be hosting an open session during the upcoming South Asia Open Community Call on 6 - 7 pm, and we look forward to connecting with you there.
Thanks for your continued support! Thank you

Upcoming Deployment of the CampaignEvents Extension
Hello everyone,
(Apologies for posting in English if English is not your first language. Please help translate to your language.)
The Campaigns Product Team is planning a global deployment of the CampaignEvents extension to all Wikipedias, including this wiki, during the week of June 23rd.
This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, WikiProjects, and other on-wiki collaborations - and to make these efforts more discoverable.
The three main features of this extension are:
- Event Registration: A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki.
- Collaboration List: A global list of events and a local list of WikiProjects, accessible at Special:AllEvents.
- Invitation Lists: A tool to help organizers find editors who might want to join, based on their past contributions.
Note: The extension comes with a new user right called "Event Organizer", which will be managed by administrators on this wiki. Organizer tools like Event Registration and Invitation Lists will only work if someone is granted this right. The Collaboration List is available to everyone immediately after deployment.
The extension is already live on several wikis, including Meta, Wikidata, English Wikipedia, and more ( See the full deployment list)
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to share them on the extension talkpage. We’d love to hear from you before the rollout.
Thank you!
