== How can we improve Wikimedia grants to support you better? ==

Hi!  The Wikimedia Foundation would like your input on how we can [[Grants:IdeaLab/Reimagining WMF grants|reimagine Wikimedia Foundation grants]] to better support people and ideas in your Wikimedia project.

After reading the Reimagining WMF grants idea, '''[https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0V3bt4EWF24QJRH we ask you to complete this survey]''' to help us improve the idea and learn more about your experience.

== [[Grants:Inspire|Inspire Campaign]] on content curation & review ==

[[File:WPCube.png|right|100px]]
[[Grants:Inspire|I've recently launched an Inspire Campaign]] to encourage new ideas focusing on ''content review and curation in Wikimedia projects''. Wikimedia volunteers collaboratively manage vast repositories of knowledge, and we’re looking for your ideas about how to manage that knowledge to make it more meaningful and accessible. '''We invite you to participate and submit ideas, so please get involved today! The campaign runs until March 28th.'''

All proposals are welcome - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive feedback on ideas is welcome - your skills and experience can help bring someone else’s project to life.  Join us at the Inspire Campaign to improve review and curation tasks so that we can make our content more meaningful and accessible!

== [[m:Grants:Inspire|Participate in the Inspire Campaign and help address harassment!]] ==

[[File:NounProject_Leaves.png|right|100px|link=m:Grants:Inspire]]

Through June, we’re organizing [[m:Grants:Inspire|an Inspire Campaign]] to encourage and support new ideas focusing on '''addressing harassment''' toward Wikimedia contributors.  [[m:Harassment survey 2015|The 2015 Harassment Survey]] has shown evidence that harassment in various forms - name calling, threats, discrimination, stalking, and impersonation, among others - is pervasive.  Available methods and systems to deal with harassment are also considered to be ineffective.  These behaviors are clearly harmful, and in addition, many individuals who experience or witness harassment participate less in Wikimedia projects or stop contributing entirely.

Proposals in any language are welcome during the campaign - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! [[m:Grants:Start|Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation]] for projects that need financial support. Constructive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else’s project to life.  [[m:Grants:Inspire|Join us at the Inspire Campaign]] so that we can work together to develop ideas around this important and difficult issue. With thanks,

== [[Flagged Revisions]] RFC ==

Hi Zache, I have quoted your 2016 table in [[Requests for comment/Flagged revisions should display latest versions]]. I would like to know if you have anything to say about the current state of FR on certain Wikipedias. [[User:Voltairacus|Voltairacus]] ([[User talk:Voltairacus|talk]]) 21:10, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

: {{ping|Voltairacus}} Thanks, I think that you should stop the RfC, update the <code>The average wait for edits by users that have not logged in</code> and <code>The median wait for edits by users that have not logged in</code> values as my values were heavily effected  on last RfC by {{phab|T163107}} and then restart the RfC. I can help you with this. However,  the effect of the bug was so high that you cant compare the different wikipedias in a way I did it at the time. Also the values like pending lag isn't linear [https://fiwiki-tools.toolforge.org/fr_stats_example.html?db=fiwiki_p,huwiki_p,dewiki_p,plwiki_p&frs_key=pendingLag-average]. --[[User:Zache|Zache]] ([[User talk:Zache#top|talk]]) 01:07, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

:: {{ping|Zache}} Thank you Zache. You have more expertise in this area, so you can take over if you want. The bottom issue is that some of these Wikipedias, such as Indonesian and Turkish in particular, are not easy to update at all even for experienced users with several hundred edits, and this is a cross-wiki phenomenon that needs to be addressed.

This is a way to provide more sources as well as digitize some oral parts of their history.

== Get started with the Lua interface to simplify the preparation of modules for translation in MetaWiki ==

Greetings!

The [[mw:Wikimedia Language and Product Localization|Language and Product Localization team]] has developed a [[mw:Help:Extension:Translate/Message_Bundles/Lua_reference|Lua interface]] to simplify the preparation of Lua modules for translation in the MetaWiki platform. This means that module developers can now use the new Lua interface to load translatable strings, and the translators can translate them in the same translation interface that is used for templates and wiki pages. 

This improvement makes it easier for translators to find and edit module strings without dealing with raw Lua code. It helps prevent mistakes that could break the module during translation.   

We invite you to [[commons:File:Translatable_modules_video_demo_July_2025.webm|'''watch our demo video''']] '''and read more about''' [[mw:Translatable_modules|'''translatable modules''']] to understand how it works. '''Please give us your feedback on''' [[mw:Talk:Translatable_modules|'''this talk page''']] on how well the Lua interface addresses the challenges in your workflow and how useful it is in module localization tasks. You can also refer to [[m:Module:User Wikimedia project|Module:User Wikimedia project]], which was recently converted to utilize these messages, for example usage.

Your feedback is important as it will help us evaluate and decide how to continue developing and improving this interface, extend it to other wikis, or change our approach. 

Thank you, and we anticipate your honest feedback.
