Vi kan ju självklart inte begära att anställda ska vara aktiva på helgerna, så kanske skulle det var bra att ha några volontärer som administratörer också så att de kan städa bort klotter som uppstår då?
Jag har hittills inte varit särskilt aktiv på Wikimedia Sveriges wiki, men anmäler mig icke desto mindre som "volontär-administratör" om intresse finnes. Jag är registrerad Wikimedia-användare sedan 2005 och har bidragit med lite drygt tvåhundratusen redigeringar i sammanlagt 133 av Wikimedias olika systerprojekt. Jag är byråkrat på Wikispecies sedan 2015 (gränssnittsadministratör sedan 2019), och administratör på svenskspråkiga Wikivoyage sedan 2019. Dessa "förtroendeuppdrag" (om man så vill) medför att jag är online mer eller mindre dygnet runt på de projekt jag bidrar mest till, och därför lämplig som klottersanerare och liknande. Alla mina inloggningar till Wikimedia-sfären och Phabricator sker med hjälp av tvåfaktorautentisering. Jag är betalande medlem i föreningen Wikimedia Sverige sedan 18 april 2019, med medlemsnummer 4115. Boende i Uppsala och således i geografisk närhet till föreningens huvudkontor.
Hej! Vi har precis pratat om det här på kansliet och tycker det är en jättebra idé. Stort tack för att du ställer upp Tommy! Dock kommer du inte kunna få adminrättigheterna förrän på måndag då @Axel Pettersson (WMSE) som är byråkrat är tillbaka.
Wikimedia Foundation testar övergången från sitt första till sitt andra reservdatacenter. Det kommer att se till att Wikipedia och andra Wikimedia-wikier kan förbli online, även om någon form av katastrof skulle inträffa. För att se till att allt fungerar, behöver Wikimedia Technology-avdelningen utföra ett planerat test. Testet kommer visa på om man säkert kan övergå från ett datacenter till ett annat. Det krävs många arbetslag för att förbereda testet och för att ha möjligheten att åtgärda oförutsedda problem.
På grund av begränsningar i MediaWiki, måste tyvärr all redigering upphöra medan övergången pågår. Vi ber om ursäkt för avbrottet och arbetar för att minimera det i framtiden.
Under en kort tidsperiod kommer det bara vara möjligt att läsa, men inte redigera alla wikier.
Man kommer inte kunna redigera i upp till en timme på tisdag, 29 juni 2021. Testet börjar 14:00 UTC (07:00 PDT, 10:00 EDT, 15:00 WEST/BST, 16:00 CEST, 19:30 IST, 23:00 JST, och i Nya Zeeland onsdag 30 juni 02:00 NZST).
Försöker du redigera eller spara något under denna tid kommer du få ett felmeddelande. Vi hoppas att inga redigeringar går förlorade under dessa minuter, men vi kan inte garantera det. Om du ser felmeddelandet, vänligen vänta tills allt fungerar som normalt igen. Sedan borde du kunna spara din redigering. Vi rekommenderar ändå att du skapar kopior av dina ändringar, för säkerhets skull.
Andra effekter:
Bakgrundsjobb kommer vara långsammare och vissa kanske försvinner. Rödlänkar kanske inte uppdateras lika snabbt som förut. Om du skapar en artikel som det länkas till någon annanstans ifrån, kommer länken förbli röd längre än vanligt. En del långtidsskript kommer att behöva stoppas.
Viss kod kommer frysa till 28 juni. Utrullning av icke-essentiella koddistributioner kommer inte att utföras.
Projektet kan skjutas fram om det skulle behövas. Du kan läsa schemat på wikitech.wikimedia.org. Alla ändringar kommer att tillkännages i tidsplanen. Det kommer att komma fler notiser om det här. En notis om det här kommer visas på alla wikier 30 minuter innan händelsen inträffar. Dela gärna informationen med din gemenskap.

Wikimania 2021 will be hosted virtually for the first time in the event's 15-year history. Since there is no in-person host, the event is being organized by a diverse group of Wikimedia volunteers that form the Core Organizing Team for Wikimania 2021.
Event Program - The program design of this Wikimania accommodates affiliates for them to curate a portion of the program. Wikimedia affiliates have an opportunity to host a series of their own sessions.
Please note that the deadline for submission is 18th June 2021.
Affiliate Scholarships - Scholarships are available to all Wikimedia movement affiliates to support practical access to and participation in Wikimania 2021 in their communities. Please read more about it in the Affiliate Announcement section here.
Office Hour - If you are left with questions, the COT will be hosting some office hours (in multiple languages), in multiple time-zones, to answer any programming questions that you might have. Details can be found here.

The Wikimedia movement is beginning a movement-wide strategy discussion, a process which will run throughout 2017. For 15 years, Wikimedians have worked together to build the largest free knowledge resource in human history. During this time, we've grown from a small group of editors to a diverse network of editors, developers, affiliates, readers, donors, and partners. Today, we are more than a group of websites. We are a movement rooted in values and a powerful vision: all knowledge for all people. As a movement, we have an opportunity to decide where we go from here.
This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve. We hope to design an inclusive process that makes space for everyone: editors, community leaders, affiliates, developers, readers, donors, technology platforms, institutional partners, and people we have yet to reach. There will be multiple ways to participate including on-wiki, in private spaces, and in-person meetings. You are warmly invited to join and make your voice heard.
The immediate goal is to have a strategic direction by Wikimania 2017 to help frame a discussion on how we work together toward that strategic direction.
Regular updates are being sent to the Wikimedia-l mailing list, and posted on Meta-Wiki. Beginning with this message, monthly reviews of these updates will be sent to this page as well. Sign up to receive future announcements and monthly highlights of strategy updates on your user talk page.
Here is a review of the updates that have been sent so far:
The core movement strategy team, team tracks being developed, introduction of the Community Process Steering Committee, discussions at WikiIndaba conference 2017 and the Wikimedia movement affiliates executive directors gathering in Switzerland
Dear Wikimedia Affiliates,
My name is María Cruz and I work for the Wikimedia Foundation on the Learning and Evaluation team. In one week or so, the Foundation is starting a global survey to learn about the experiences and feedback of Wikimedians. I am writing here, because I wanted to share with you a bit more about the project.
The survey is called "Wikimedia Communities and Contributors" and is conducted annually. We will send the survey to editors across all the Wikimedia projects, as well as Wikimedia affiliates and volunteer developers. This survey is going to be our way of making sure that we can hear feedback from a significant number of users from across the projects. This research supports editors and Wikipedia’s mission. This is our second annual CE Insights survey, and we look forward to improving it every year. We will be contacting 2 people from each affiliate, based on the primary contact information that we have. Each affiliate will receive an additional third link which they can distribute to any leader in their chapter or user group.
Go to the project page to see the results of last year’s survey, and to see how your feedback helps the Wikimedia Foundation support communities. You can sign up to be notified about the results of the survey, or to learn how you can help with planning the survey next year.
If you have any questions or concerns about this project, please feel free to send them to Edward Galvez's talk page on Meta-Wiki or email him directly at surveysMall:AtwikimediaMall:Dotorg in any language. You can learn more about this project and read about frequently asked questions. You can also share your feedback on Meta-Wiki.
Thank you for your time supporting this project! María Cruz
