सार्वभौमिक आचार संहिता के लिए संशोधित प्रवर्तन दिशानिर्देशों पर आगामी मतदान

आप इस संदेश को मेटा-विकी पर अतिरिक्त भाषाओं में अनुवादित पा सकते हैं।

More languages • कृपया अपनी भाषा में अनुवादित करने में सहायता करें

सभी को नमस्कार,

जनवरी २०२३ के मध्य में सार्वभौमिक आचार संहिता के प्रवर्तन दिशानिर्देश द्वितीय समुदाय-व्यापी अनुसमर्थन हेतु मतदान से गुजरेगा। यह मार्च २०२२ के मतदान के बाद तय हुआ, जिसमें परिणामस्वरूप अधिकांश मतदाताओं ने प्रवर्तन दिशानिर्देशों का समर्थन किया। मतदान के दौरान, प्रतिभागियों ने महत्वपूर्ण सामुदायिक चिंताओं को उजागर करने में सहायता की। बोर्ड की सामुदायिक मामलों की समिति ने अनुरोध किया कि चिंताओं के इन क्षेत्रों की समीक्षा की जाए।

स्वयंसेवक के नेतृत्व वाली संशोधन समिति ने सामुदायिक विचारों की समीक्षा करने और परिवर्तन करने के लिए कड़ी मेहनत की। उन्होंने चिंता के क्षेत्रों को अद्यतन किया, जैसे प्रशिक्षण और प्रतिज्ञान आवश्यकताओं, प्रक्रिया में गोपनीयता और पारदर्शिता, और स्वयं दस्तावेज़ की पठनीयता और इनके अनुवाद होने की क्षमता।

संशोधित प्रवर्तन दिशानिर्देश यहाँ देखे जा सकते हैं, और परिवर्तनों की तुलना यहाँ पर देखी जा सकती है।

मतदान कैसे करें?

१७ जनवरी, २०२३ से मतदान प्रारम्भ होगा। मेटा-विकी पर यह पृष्ठ सिक्योरपोल का उपयोग करके मतदान करने के तरीके के बारे में जानकारी प्रदान करता है।

कौन मतदान कर सकता है?

इस मत के लिए पात्रता आवश्यकताएँ वही हैं जो विकिमीडिया न्यासी बोर्ड के चुनाव के लिए होती हैं। मतदाता योग्यता के बारे में अधिक जानकारी के लिए मतदाता जानकारी पृष्ठ को देखें। यदि आप एक योग्य मतदाता हैं, तो आप मतदान सर्वर तक पहुँचने के लिए अपने विकिमीडिया खाते का उपयोग कर सकते हैं।

मतदान पश्चात क्या होगा?

स्वयंसेवकों के एक स्वतंत्र समूह द्वारा मतों की जाँच की जाएगी, और इनके परिणाम विकिमीडिया-I, आंदोलन रणनीति फोरम, डिफ और मेटा-विकी पर प्रकाशित किए जाएँगे। मतदाता पुनः मतदान करने और दिशानिर्देशों के बारे में अपनी चिंताओं को साझा करने में सक्षम होंगे। न्यासी बोर्ड समर्थन के स्तर और उठाई गई चिंताओं को देखेगा क्योंकि वे यह देखते हैं कि प्रवर्तन दिशानिर्देशों को किस प्रकार अनुसमर्थित किया जाना चाहिए या आगे विकसित किया जाना चाहिए।

Hello all,

I am pleased to share the next step in the Universal Code of Conduct work. The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) draft charter is now ready for your review.

The Enforcement Guidelines require a Building Committee form to draft a charter that outlines procedures and details for a global committee to be called the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C). Over the past few months, the U4C Building Committee worked together as a group to discuss and draft the U4C charter. The U4C Building Committee welcomes feedback about the draft charter now through 22 September 2023. After that date, the U4C Building Committee will revise the charter as needed and a community vote will open shortly afterward.

Join the conversation during the conversation hours or on Meta-wiki.

The Vector 2022 skin as the default in three weeks?

Read this in your language • कृपया अपनी भाषा में अनुवादित करने में सहायता करें • Please tell other users about these changes

Hello. I'm writing on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation Web team. In three weeks, we would like to make the Vector 2022 skin the default on this wiki.

Global preferences

If you prefer keeping the current skin select "Vector legacy (2010)" on the appearance tab of the global preferences and save the change. We encourage you to give the new skin a try, though.

It would become the default for all logged-out users, and also all logged-in users who currently use Vector legacy as a local (but not global) preference. Logged-in users can at any time switch to any other skin. No changes are expected for these skins.

Top of an article
Vector legacy (current default)
Vector 2022

A section of an article
Vector legacy (current default)
Vector 2022

About the skin

[Why is a change necessary] When the current default skin was created, it reflected the needs of the readers and editors as these were 14 years ago. Since then, new users have begun using the Internet and Wikimedia projects in different ways. The old Vector does not meet their needs.

[Objective] The objective for the Vector 2022 skin is to make the interface more welcoming and comfortable for readers and useful for advanced users. It introduces a series of changes that aim to improve problems new and existing readers and editors were having with the old skin. It draws inspiration from previous user requests, the Community Wishlist Surveys, and gadgets and scripts. The work helped our code follow the standards and improve all other skins. The PHP code in the other available skins has been reduced by 75%. The project has also focused on making it easier to support gadgets and use APIs.

[Changes in a nutshell] The skin introduces changes that improve readability and usability. The new skin does not remove any functionality currently available on the Vector skin.

The limited width and pin-able menus allow to adjust the interface to the screen size, and focus on editing or reading. Logged-in and logged-out users may use a toggle button to keep the full width, though.
The sticky header makes it easier to find tools that editors use often. It decreases scrolling to the top of the page by 16%.
The new table of contents makes it easier to navigate to different sections. Readers and editors jump to different sections of the page 50% more than with the old table of contents. It also looks a bit different on talk pages.
The new search bar is easier to find and makes it easier to find the correct search result from the list. This increased the amount of searches started by 30% on the tested wikis.
The skin does not negatively affect pageviews, edit rates, or account creation. There is evidence of increases in pageviews and account creation across partner communities.

[Customize this skin] It's possible to configure and personalize our changes. We support volunteers who create new gadgets and user scripts. Check out the repository for a list of currently available customizations and changes, or add your own.

Our plan

If no large concerns are raised, we plan on deploying on 14 November. If you'd like to ask our team anything, if you have questions, concerns, or additional thoughts, please comment in any language. If this is the first comment to my message, make sure to ping me. We will gladly answer! Also, check out our FAQ. Thank you! SGrabarczuk (WMF) (वार्ता) ०१:१७, २६ अक्टूबर २०२३ (UTC)[उत्तर दें]
