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! I JethroBT (WMF) 05:38, 29 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Through June, we’re organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas focusing on addressing harassment toward Wikimedia contributors. 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! 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. Join us at the Inspire Campaign so that we can work together to develop ideas around this important and difficult issue. With thanks,

Hi,

You get this message because you’ve previously participated in the Community Wishlist Survey. I just wanted to let you know that this year’s survey is now open for proposals. You can suggest technical changes until 11 November: Community Wishlist Survey 2019.

You can vote from November 16 to November 30. To keep the number of messages at a reasonable level, I won’t send out a separate reminder to you about that. /Johan (WMF) 11:25, 30 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

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. Voltairacus (talk) 21:10, 6 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Voltairacus: Thanks, I think that you should stop the RfC, update the The average wait for edits by users that have not logged in and The median wait for edits by users that have not logged in values as my values were heavily effected on last RfC by task 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 [1]. --Zache (talk) 01:07, 7 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

@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 month we are meeting on Sunday July 25, and you are all invited to RSVP here.

The second anniversary of Wikispore Day, observed on July 28, 2020, marks twenty-four months from the conceptual sprouting of the Wikispore idea from the Strategy Wiknic in NYC, which was held on July 14, 2019.

You are invited to participate in a virtual unconference for this year!

Wednesday July 28:

• Main Unconference (more details at wikispore:Wikispore Day)

• 12:00–2:00 pm (New York City time)
• (16:00–18:00 UTC/GMT, 18:00–20:00 Berlin)

• Social Hour

• 6:00-7:00 (New York City time)

Since Wikispore is probably the only Wikimedia project to be born at a picnic, you are encouraged to participate from a socially-distanced green space outdooors if possible.

• Register on Eventbrite
• Google Meet link: https://meet.google.com/vsg-mxiw-hij --Pharos (talk) 18:41, 26 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

• The Wikipore Day Unconference was held in July, with about 20 participants - see etherpad. A suggested path forward is the "movement tactic" of regular collaborations, like a Spore of the Month or a Feature of the Fortnight.
• Some newer proposed projects at Wikispore: STARDIT (using mw:Extension:Cargo), Works Spore, WikiCite. (Comment on their talk pages!)
• On Saturday August 14, there will be a Wikimania lightning talk on Wikispore and Innovating Free Knowledge at 18:10 - 18:20 UTC, followed a few minutes later by an unconference group session for Wikimedians Innovating New Genres.

(You can subscribe/unsubscribe from future notifications for the Wikisporadic Newsletter by adding or removing your name from this list.)

Feedback on any of these items is welcomed at your friendly Wikispore Greenhouse!

Hi Zache! What is the planned functionality of the tool? "Manage your OAuth clients" seems like a weird grant for a web tool. Tgr (WMF) (talk) 05:44, 6 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, it was fail by me. Planned purpose is to upload photos to Wikimedia commons, write messages to specific page (ie users can leave notes if something is broken from UI) and edit wikidata (add photos to items). The oauth was not there on purpose. I will make a new request and this one can be denied. --Zache (talk)

@Tgr (WMF): Now there is a new one bd957de08deaf9c47033c8e93b4bf375 --Zache (talk) 06:08, 6 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi Zache. I just saw your question, as the thread was archived by the bot once marked as done by @Tgr (WMF). I don't think there's a formal delay, but sometimes it takes longer to review and process the queue of pending requests because there are few users active in that area. While I can approve and reject them, I usually don't handle them as I prefer that people that can actually read/understand the tools' code do it, for precaution.

• Oral knowledge We held a session on oral knowledge and Wikispore as part of Options Space at Wikimedia Summit 2022 in Berlin, looking at options with several African affiliates to link out to cultural topics from Wikipedia(s). Some African communities are already doing oral knowledge documentation like the Nigerian community working on oral history as well as the growing Mozambican community working on oral history documentation in Makhuwa language. This is a way to provide more sources as well as digitize some oral parts of their history.
• Wikidata integration There is a plan to install the new UnlinkedWikibase extension, advancing the vision of Wikisprout and full Wikidata integration such as use in infoboxes.
• Movement strategy Using the Cargo and related extensions on Wikispore, work is underway to create a demo of Movement Strategy activities, adapting Baserow data from Wikimedia Summit.
• Halloween event As a Wikidata 10th Birthday event, there is hope to collaborate at the end of October with Wiki Cemeteries User Group on Grave Spore (see discussion), for maps and in-depth coverage of individual graves.
