Be a Wikimedia fundraising "User Experience" volunteer! [rætta]
Thank you to everyone who volunteered last year on the Wikimedia fundraising 'User Experience' project. We have talked to many different people in different countries and their feedback has helped us immensely in restructuring our pages. If you haven't heard of it yet, the 'User Experience' project has the goal of understanding the donation experience in different countries (outside the USA) and enhancing the localization of our donation pages.
I am (still) searching for volunteers to spend some time 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 very 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. If you are interested (or know of anyone who could be) please email ppena@wikimedia.org. All countries needed (excepting USA)!!
Thanks!

Wikimedia sites to move to primary data center in Ashburn, Virginia. Read-only mode expected. [rætta]
(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.) Next week, the Wikimedia Foundation will transition its main technical operations to a new data center in Ashburn, Virginia, USA. This is intended to improve the technical performance and reliability of all Wikimedia sites, including this wiki. There will be some times when the site will be in read-only mode, and there may be full outages; the current target windows for the migration are January 22nd, 23rd and 24th, 2013, from 17:00 to 01:00 UTC (see other timezones on timeanddate.com). More information is available in the full announcement.
If you would like to stay informed of future technical upgrades, consider becoming a Tech ambassador and joining the ambassadors mailing list. You will be able to help your fellow Wikimedians have a voice in technical discussions and be notified of important decisions.
Thank you for your help and your understanding.

Commons copyright tag {{PD-Denmark50}} [rætta]
Hello,
In order to improve the chance of getting a qualified input, I would like to encourage anyone with some form of knowledge on Faroese authors right/copyright legislation to comment on commons:Template talk:PD-Denmark50#Does_the_template_cover_Faroe_Islands_.2F_Greenland.3F. The issue at hand is wither Danish authors right legislation (lov om ophavsret) - and thus the mentioned copyright tag - also cover photographs from the Faroe Islands. In kind regards, Heb (talk) 20. feb 2013 kl. 13:20 (UTC)
Wikidata phase 1 (language links) coming to this Wikipedia [rætta]
Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this locally.
Wikidata has been in development for a few months now. It is now time for the roll-out of the first part of it on your Wikipedia. Phase 1 is the support for the management of language links. It is already being used on the Hungarian, Hebrew, Italian and English Wikipedias. The next step is to enable the extension on all other Wikipedias. We have currently planned this for March 6.
What is Wikidata? [rætta]
Wikidata is a central place to store data that you can usually find in infoboxes. Think of it as something like Wikimedia Commons but for data (like the number of inhabitants of a country or the length of a river) instead of multimedia. The first part of this project (centralizing language links) is being rolled out now. The more fancy things will follow later.
What is going to happen? [rætta]
Language links in the sidebar are going to come from Wikidata in addition to the ones in the wiki text. To edit them, scroll to the bottom of the language links, and click edit. You no longer need to maintain these links by hand in the wiki text of the article.
Where can I find more information and ask questions? [rætta]
Editors on en:wp have created a great page with all the necessary information for editors and there is also an FAQ for this deployment. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ’s discussion page.
I want to be kept up to date about Wikidata [rætta]

Ombudsman Commission og privacy policy [rætta]
Mandag den 4. marts mødes Ombudsman commission| (OC) i San Francisco for at deltage i en række møder med Wikimedia Foundation om OC’s arbejde. Et af emnerne er, hvad vi – dvs. Commission og Foundation - mener, at OC’s indsatsområde er eller bør være. OC tager sig i øjeblikket kun af overtrædelser af den gældende privacy policy, så f.eks. muligt misbrug af checkuserværktøjet, som ikke medfører overtrædelse af reglerne i privacy policy, kun kan behandles ved lokale wikiprocesser (en:wiki har ArbCom og AUSC til den slags).
OC indbyder alle til at give kommentarer til, hvad de mener OC’s arbejdsområde bør omfatte fremover. Som medlem af OC modtager jeg gerne sådanne kommentarer til fremlæggelse under møderne, så de kan blive diskuteret, overvejet og givet passende vægt. Bemærk, at jeg afrejser søndag, så for at have tid til at læse kommentarerne, er en hurtig reaktion nødvendig!
Et par spørgsmål til overvejelse følger nedenfor, men det er ikke et krav, at de besvares hverken direkte eller indirekte, hvis du mener, at du har en betydende kommentar uden at gøre det.
Spørgsmål: 1) Vil du støtte,at Ombudsman Commission påtager sig at undersøge misbrug af checkuser- og oversightværktøjerne? Og hvis ikke, hvordan begrunder du det? 2) Hvis svaret til 1) er ja, synes du så, at OC skal være første instans i behandlingen, eller skal første behandling ske andetsteds, så henvendelse til OC får karakter af en appel?
Hvis du har kommentarer til dette emne eller ovenstående giver anledning til spørgsmål, så skriv dem gerne her eller pr. epost til mig (dansk brugerside: Sir48. Hvis du foretrækker IRC, kan jeg findes på en af de skandinaviske kanaler som Sir48.

Wikidata phase 1 (language links) live on this Wikipedia [rætta]
Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this locally. If you understand German better than English you can have a look at the announcement on de:Wikipedia:Kurier.
As I annonced 2 weeks ago, Wikidata phase 1 (language links) has been deployed here today. Language links in the sidebar are coming from Wikidata in addition to the ones in the wiki text. To edit them, scroll to the bottom of the language links, and click edit. You no longer need to maintain these links by hand in the wiki text of the article.
Where can I find more information and ask questions? Editors on en:wp have created a great page with all the necessary information for editors and there is also an FAQ for this deployment. It'd be great if you could bring this to this wiki if that has not already happened. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ’s discussion page.

Convert complex templates to Lua to make them faster and more powerful [rætta]
(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.
If you'd like to learn about this kind of events earlier in advance, consider becoming a Tech ambassador by subscribing to the mailing list. You will also be able to help your fellow Wikimedians have a voice in technical discussions and be notified of important decisions.

Wikidata phase 2 (infoboxes) coming to this Wikipedia [rætta]
Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this. If you understand German better than English you can have a look at the announcement on de:Wikipedia:Kurier.
A while ago the first phase of Wikidata was enabled on this Wikipedia. This means you are getting the language links in each article from Wikidata. It is soon time to enable the second phase of Wikidata (infoboxes) here. We have already done this on the [first 11 Wikipedias] (it, he, hu, ru, tr, uk, uz, hr, bs, sr, sh) and things are looking good. The next step is English Wikipedia. This is planned for April 8. If everything works out fine we will deploy on all remaining Wikipedias on April 10. I will update this part of the FAQ if there are any issues forcing us to change this date. I will also sent another note to this village pump once the deployment is finished.
What will happen once we have phase 2 enabled here? Once it is enabled in a few days you will be able to make use of the structured data that is available on Wikidata in your articles/infoboxes. It includes things like the symbol for a chemical element, the ISBN for a book or the top level domain of a country. (None of this will happen automatically. Someone will have to change the article or infobox template for this to happen!)
How will this work? There are two ways to access the data:
- Use a parser function like {{#property:p169}} in the wiki text of the article on Yahoo!. This will return “Marissa Mayer” as she is the chief executive officer of the company.
- For more complicated things you can use Lua. The documentation for this is here.
We are working on expanding the parser function so you can for example use {{#property:chief executive officer}} instead of {{#property:p169}}. The complete plan for this is here.
Where can I test this? You can already test it on test2.
Where can I find more information and ask questions? We have collected the main questions in an FAQ for this deployment. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ’s discussion page.

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.
All input is appreciated. The discussion may close as soon as 21 May 2013 (2013-05-21), but this will be extended if needed.

- We have one active Bureaucrat (Niceley) and one (two if you count the bureaucrat as an admin also) activ administrators (myself and Niceley). The rest is inactive, we have one inactiv bureaucrat and 6 inactive administrators here on the Faroese Wikipedia. Quackor has not been active for almost three years, he is one of two beaurocrats, Arne List who started the Faroese Wikipedia, has not been active here for 4 years now, Twincinema has not been active here for 6 years now, Girdi has not been active here for 5 or 6 years now, Jogvanj has not been active here for 7 years now, Rthomsen has not been active here for 5 years now. As far as I know we don't have any policy regarding how long admins should still hold their adminstrator rights or for how long a period with inactivity before they lose their administrative rights. I can't see why users should still be administrators, when they have not been active for 3 to 7 years and don't use their administative rights at all. EileenSanda (talk) 30. apr 2013 kl. 14:48 (UTC)
Wikidata phase 2 (infoboxes) is here [rætta]

A while ago the first phase of Wikidata was enabled on this Wikipedia. This means you are getting the language links in each article from Wikidata. We have now enabled the second phase of Wikidata (infoboxes) here. We have already done this on the [first 11 Wikipedias] (it, he, hu, ru, tr, uk, uz, hr, bs, sr, sh) a month ago and two days ago on the English Wikipedia. Today all the remaining Wikipedias followed.
What does having phase 2 enabled here mean? You are now able to make use of the structured data that is available on Wikidata in your articles/infoboxes. It includes things like the symbol for a chemical element, the ISBN for a book or the top level domain of a country. (None of this will happen automatically. Someone will have to change the article or infobox template for this to happen!) The current state is just the beginning though. It will be extended based on feedback we get from you now.
How will this work? There are two ways to access the data:
- Use a parser function like {{#property:p159}} in the wiki text of the article on Wikimedia Foundation. This will return “San Francisco” as that is the headquarter location of the non-profit.
- For more complicated things you can use Lua. The documentation for this is here.
We are working on expanding the parser function so you can for example use {{#property:headquarter location}} instead of {{#property:p159}}. The complete plan for this is here.
Where can I test this? You can test it on test2 if you don't want to do it in an article here.
Where can I find more information and ask questions? We have collected the main questions in an FAQ for this deployment. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ’s discussion page.

[en] Change to section edit links [rætta]
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.
