सार्वभौमिक आचार संहिता के लिए संशोधित प्रवर्तन दिशानिर्देशों पर आगामी मतदान
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।

विकिमीडिया फाउंडेशन अपने पहले और दूसरे डाटा केन्द्रों में बदलाव का परिक्षण करता है। इससे यह सुनिश्चित होगा कि विकिपीडिया और अन्य विकिमीडिया विकि किसी विपत्ति के बाद भी ठीक से काम करे। यह सुनिश्चित करने के लिए कि सबकुछ सही काम कर रहा है, विकीमीडिया टेक्नोलॉजी विभाग को एक योजनाबद्ध परीक्षण की आवश्यकता है। यह परीक्षण दिखाएगा कि वे एक डेटा सेंटर से दूसरे डेटा सेंटर पर विश्वसनीय तरीके से जा सकते हैं या नहीं। परीक्षण की तैयारी और किसी अनपेक्षित समस्या के समाधान के लिए कई टीमों की आवश्यकता होगी।
पूरा यातायात १ मार्च पर चालू रहेगा। परिक्षण १४:०० UTC बजे आरम्भ होगा।
दुर्भाग्यवश, कुछ सीमाओं के कारण मीडियाविकि को बदलाव के समय सभी तरह के सम्पादनों को रोक देना चाहिए। हमें असुविधा के लिए खेद है और हम भविष्य में इसे न्यूनतम करने पर काम कर रहे हैं।

- आप बुधवार १ मार्च २०२३ को एक घण्टे तक सम्पादन नहीं कर सकोगे।
- यदि आप इस समय के दौरान सम्पादन अथवा सहेजने का प्रयास करेंगे तो आपको एक त्रुटि सन्देश दिखाई देगा। हम आशा करते हैं कि इस समय के दौरान कोई सम्पादन लुप्त नहीं होगा लेकिन हम इसकी प्रत्याभूति नहीं करते। यदि आपको कोई त्रुटि सन्देश दिखाई देता है तो कृपया सब कुछ सामान्य होने तक प्रतीक्षा करें। तब आपको अपने सम्पादन सहेजने चाहिए। लेकिन, हम अनुशंसा करते हैं कि आप अपने परिवर्तनों की एक प्रति पहले ही बना लें,जिसकी शायद जरूरत पड़े।

Review the Charter for the Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee
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.
Best,

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.
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)
