Talk to us about talking

The Wikimedia Foundation is planning a global consultation about communication. The goal is to bring Wikimedians and wiki-minded people together to improve tools for communication.

We want all contributors to be able to talk to each other on the wikis, whatever their experience, their skills or their devices.

We are looking for input from as many different parts of the Wikimedia community as possible. It will come from multiple projects, in multiple languages, and with multiple perspectives.

We are currently planning the consultation. We need your help.

We need volunteers to help talk to their communities or user groups.

You can help by hosting a discussion at your wiki. Here's what to do:

1. First, sign up your group here.
2. Next, create a page (or a section on a Village pump, or an e-mail thread – whatever is natural for your group) to collect information from other people in your group. This is not a vote or decision-making discussion: we are just collecting feedback.
3. Then ask people what they think about communication processes. We want to hear stories and other information about how people communicate with each other on and off wiki. Please consider asking these five questions:
   1. When you want to discuss a topic with your community, what tools work for you, and what problems block you?
   2. What about talk pages works for newcomers, and what blocks them?
   3. What do others struggle with in your community about talk pages?
   4. What do you wish you could do on talk pages, but can't due to the technical limitations?
   5. What are the important aspects of a "wiki discussion"?
4. Finally, please go to Talk pages consultation 2019 on Mediawiki.org and report what you learned from your group. Please include links if the discussion is available to the public.

You can also help build the list of the many different ways people talk to each other.

Not all groups active on wikis or around wikis use the same way to discuss things: it can happen on wiki, on social networks, through external tools... Tell us how your group communicates.

You can read more about the overall process on mediawiki.org. If you have questions or ideas, you can leave feedback about the consultation process in the language you prefer.

Thank you! We're looking forward to talking with you.

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• The abuse filter function now has a faster parser. This is to shorten the waiting time when you save an edit. [১]

Problems

Future changes

• The URL of the Wikimedia wiki main pages could be changed. This is because the current URLs cause several problems. For example https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page would be https://www.wikidata.org/ instead. You can tell the developers if this would cause problems for your wiki.
• There is a new technical community newsletter. You can read more about the work of Wikimedia's technical community. Subscribe to get the information in the future.

Future changes

• Internet Explorer 6 and 7 are no longer supported. This means the browsers might start looking a bit weird. They will not get security support. You can't read Wikimedia wikis in Internet Explorer on Windows XP or Windows versions that are older than Windows XP. This is because almost no one uses the browsers anymore. Supporting them made the wikis less secure for everyone else. [৪]
• In the future section headings might have a share link. This is to make it easier to link to the section. You can read more and discuss.

সমস্যা

আমার আচরনে দুঃখ পেয়ে থাকলে ক্ষমা করবেন। আসলে ব্যপারটা হল যে infobox এ সাধারণত অফিসিয়াল (১টি) ওয়েবসাইট ই রাখা হয়।

আপনি এক কাজ করতে পারেন। এই ওয়েবসাইটগুলোকে বহিঃসংযোগ অংশে দিতে পারেন। এটা নীতিবিরুদ্ধ নয়। আর, উইকি সম্পর্কিত অন্য যে কোন জিজ্ঞাসা থাকলে জানাবেন। আমি আমার সাধ্যমত জানানোর চেষ্টা করবো। আপনার উইকি সম্পাদনা শুভ হোক। --মহামতি মাসুম (আলাপ) ১২:২৩, ২৯ মার্চ ২০২০ (ইউটিসি)

~ জিজ্ঞাসা ~

Ahm masum: বাংলাদেশে চিকিৎসামূলক ঘটনার রেখাচিত্র টেমপ্লেটটিতে ঘটনার সংখ্যায় যে % বসানো হয়, কিভাবে নির্ণয় করা হয় দিয়া করে বুঝিয়ে বলুন। ~ নাহিয়ান ^আলাপ ১৮:৩৮, ৫ এপ্রিল ২০২০ (ইউটিসি)

Nahian~bnwiki:. নাহিয়ান ভাই। আসলে আমিও '%' এর ব্যাপারটা পরিস্কারভাবে জানিনা। তবে, আফতাবুজ্জামান: ভাই নিশ্চয়ই জানেন। 🤔 --মহামতি মাসুম (আলাপ) ১০:২২, ৬ এপ্রিল ২০২০ (ইউটিসি)

Nahian~bnwiki: গতকালের থেকে আজকের বৃদ্ধি ÷ (গতকালের সংখ্যা x ১০০) --আফতাবুজ্জামান (আলাপ) ১৫:৪৫, ৬ এপ্রিল ২০২০ (ইউটিসি)

আফতাবুজ্জামান:
আজকে আক্রান্ত = ১২৩ জন
গতকাল ছিলো = ৮৮ জন
_________________________
বৃদ্ধি - ৩৫ জন

তাহলে, ৩৫ ÷ (৮৮ x ১০০) = ০.০৪০ (প্রায়) . হিসেবটা কি হয়েছে? বুঝতেসিনা। ~ নাহিয়ান ^আলাপ ১৬:০২, ৬ এপ্রিল ২০২০ (ইউটিসি)

Nahian~bnwiki: আচ্ছা আমার ভুল। বন্ধনী হবে না। ৩৫ ÷ ৮৮ x ১০০ = ৩৯.৭৭ ~৪০ --আফতাবুজ্জামান (আলাপ) ১৬:১১, ৬ এপ্রিল ২০২০ (ইউটিসি)
