Affiliations Committee (AffCom) Call for candidates - January 2022
Translations are available.
The Affiliations Committee – the committee responsible for guiding volunteers in establishing Wikimedia chapters, thematic organizations, and user groups – is looking for new members!
The main role of the AffCom is to guide groups of volunteers that are interested in forming Wikimedia affiliates. We review applications from new groups, answer questions and provide advice about the different Wikimedia affiliation models and processes, review affiliate bylaws for compliance with requirements and best practices, and update the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees as well as advise them on issues connected to chapters, thematic organizations and Wikimedia user groups.
The committee consists of five to fifteen members, selected at least once every year, to serve two-year terms.
Being a part of the AffCom requires communication with volunteers all over the world, negotiating skills, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to understand legal texts. We look for a mix of different skill sets in our members.
- Responsibilities
- Availability of up to 5-8 hours per month
- Participate in monthly one and two-hour voice/video meetings
- Commitment to carry out assigned tasks in a given time.
- Facilitate and support communications
- Affiliate Support and growth
- Required and Recommended Abilities, Skills, Knowledge for Affiliations Committee Members
Strong interpersonal relationship among members of the committee and also with the Wikimedia community members. Across all committee members, there are additional relevant skills as well as requirements which help to support the committee and its sustainability which include both required and relevant general skills
- Required
- Fluency in English
- Availability of up to 5 hours per week, and the time to participate in a monthly one and two-hour voice/video meetings.
- Willingness to use one's real name in committee activities (including contacts with current and potential affiliates) when appropriate.
- Strong track record of effective collaboration
- International orientation
- Relevant for all members
- Public Communications (English writing and speaking skills)
- Skills in other languages are a major plus.
- Understanding of the structure and work of affiliates and the Wikimedia Foundation.
- Documentation practices
- Interviewing experience
- Experience with, or in, an active affiliate is a major plus.
- Teamwork: Project and people management skills to coordinate and collaborate with different parties on a shared plan and see it through to completion.
- Problem-Solving: Ability to evaluate various solutions, consider multiple interests and points of view, revisit unresolved issues, seek compromise and work and communicate across languages and cultures.
Given the expectations for maintaining the course in 2022 and preparing for potential 2022 transitions as part of the Movement Strategy implementation process, it is important that we are also clear about two different skill sets critical to committee support at this time. The first skillset is oriented to understanding affiliate dynamics and organizational development patterns to successfully process affiliate applications for recognition; the other is oriented to conflict prevention and intervention support for affiliates in conflict.
- Relevant to Affiliate Recognitions
- Administration & Attention to detail
- Readiness to participate in political discussions on the role and future of affiliates, models of affiliation, and similar topics.
- Awareness of the affiliates ecosystem and models and understanding of community building, organizational development, and group dynamics
- Relevant to Conflict Prevention & Intervention
- Communication skills for active listening, clear instruction and turn-taking.
- Stress Management skills for maintaining patience and positivity
- Emotional intelligence to maintain awareness of emotions of oneself and others to practice empathy, impartiality, and mutual respect.
- Facilitation, negotiation, and mediation skills to guide diverse individuals and groups toward cooperation.
- Ability to work within a team
Do you have relevant skills and interest to support movement affiliates?
We are looking for people who are excited by the challenge of empowering volunteers to get organized and form communities that further our mission around the world. In exchange, committee members will gain the experience of supporting their world-wide colleagues to develop their communities as well as personal development in guiding organizational development, facilitating affiliate partnerships, and professional communications.
- Selection process
As a reflection of our commitment to openness, transparency, and bilateral engagement with the Wikimedia community, the 2022 member selection process will include a public review and comment period and a self-assessment survey for candidates to share their skills and their experience. This self-assessment information will help the committee to identify the skill sets relevant and supportive to our affiliate support processes. We invite you to apply for membership to the committee and join us in supporting the affiliates. The data shared in the self-assessment will only be made available to the committee and the relevant staff support. The nomination, candidate Q&A, and endorsements will still take place posted on Meta for public review at January 2022 page. Here the global community is welcome to provide comments and feedback about each candidate.
Once the nomination window closes 31 January 2022, the sitting members who are not candidates for re-election in this cycle will deliberate and then vote, taking into account all inputs from the meta page, self-assessment, advisors, Wikimedia Foundation staff and board liaisons, and committee member discussion.
A final decision will be made in late-February 2022, with new members to be notified for onboarding in February.

Supporting Subcommittees: The advisors can support subcommittees that have assigned tasks in specific areas.

Technische Neuigkeiten: 2023-14
Aktuelle Technische Neuigkeiten aus der Wikimedia-Technik-Gemeinschaft. Bitte informiere andere Benutzer über diese Änderungen. Nicht alle Änderungen werden dich betreffen. Übersetzungen sind verfügbar.
Letzte Änderungen
- Das System zur automatischen Erstellung von Kategorien für die Babel-Erweiterung hat mehrere wichtige Änderungen und Korrekturen erhalten. Eine davon erlaubt es dir, bei der Erstellung Vorlagen für automatische Kategorienbeschreibungen einzufügen, wodurch du die neuen Kategorien kategorisieren kannst. [1][2][3][4][5]
Anstehende Änderungen im Verlauf der Woche
- Die neue Version der MediaWiki-Software wird auf dem Testwiki und MediaWiki.org ab 4 April verfügbar sein. Auf Nicht-Wikipedia-Wikis und einigen Wikipedias vom 5 April. Auf allen Wikis ab 6 April (Kalender).
- Einige ältere Webbrowser werden ab dieser Woche nicht mehr JavaScript nutzen können. Dies betrifft hauptsächlich Nutzer von Internet Explorer 11. Wenn du auf deinem Computer einen alten Webbrowser hast, kannst du versuchen, ihn auf eine neuere Version zu aktualisieren. [6]
- Das veraltete Modul
jquery.hoverIntent
wurde entfernt. Dieses Modul konnte von Helferleins und Benutzerskripten genutzt werden, um eine künstliche Verzögerung der Antwort eines JavaScripts auf ein Hover-Ereignis zu erzeugen. Helferleins und Benutzerskripte sollten stattdessen nun jQueryhover()
oderon()
nutzen. Beispiele finden sich im Migrationsleitfaden. [7] - Einige der Links auf Spezial:Spezialseiten werden neu sortiert. Es wird eine deutlichere Trennung zwischen Links mit Bezug zu allen Benutzern und Links mit Bezug zum eigenen Benutzerkonto geben. [8]
- Du wirst die Antworten-Schaltfläche auf archivierten Diskussionsseiten mut dem neuen magischen Wort
__ARCHIVEDTALK__
ausblenden können. Es wird auch eine neue CSS-Klasse.mw-archivedtalk
geben, um die Antworten-Schaltfläche in einzelnen Abschnitten auf einer Seite zu verstecken. [9][10][11]
Zukünftige Änderungen
- Die Vega-Software, die Datenvisualisierungen wie Graphen auf Seiten erzeugt, wird in Zukunft auf die neueste Version aktualisiert. Graphen, die noch die sehr alte Syntax der Version 1.5 nutzen, funktionieren dann möglicherweise nicht mehr richtig. Die meisten vorhandenen Nutzungen wurden gefunden und aktualisiert, aber du kannst bei der Überprüfung und beim Aktualisieren der lokalen Dokumentation helfen. Beispiele dafür, wie man diese Graphen findet und repariert, sind verfügbar.

- New requests for permissions/Bot:
- RPI2026F1Bot 7 (Add start time (P580) as qualifiers to subreddit (P3984))
- BotFunast (Task: The bot is already operational in the Tachelhit Wikipedia. One of its main tasks is editing template tags and categories, and creating new ones when necessary, based on a csv database (that you can find in github) . When adding new pages though, a common problem is to link those to Wikidata. This can be unfeasible by hand in a reasonable amount of time, when hundreds of pages, e.g. categories, are added at once. The idea is to have the bot approved for Wikidata, so it can link the pages to their counterparts in other languages automatically.)

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2023-18
The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article! Sonia Shainwald Orbuch (born Sarah Shainwald, May 24, 1925 – September 30, 2018) was an American Holocaust educator. During the Second World War she was a Jewish resistance fighter in eastern Poland. Orbuch hid in the forests of Poland with her family during the Second World War. She joined a group of Soviet partisans, being renamed Sonia in case she was captured, and helped fight against the Germans. After the war, she returned home, where she met her future husband. After having a daughter in a refugee camp in Germany, the family eventually emigrated to the United States. She spent the rest of life in public engagement, speaking about her experiences and in 2009, published her autobiography, Here, There Are No Sarahs: A Woman's Courageous Fight Against the Nazis and Her Bittersweet Fulfillment of the American Dream.

Newsletter der Jungwikipedianer (1. Mai 2023)
Hallo Zabe!
Diesmal kommt der Newsletter über Umwege zu euch geflattert. Wir versuchen, den nächsten Newsletter wieder in gewohnter Form bereitzustellen.
- Der Artikel des Quartals ist zu Ende gegangen. Diesmal teilen sich zwei Artikel mit gleicher Anzahl an Pro-Stimmen den ersten Platz: Gewonnen hat der Artikel über das Ilemi-Dreieck von Wandelndes Lexikon und der Artikel über die Republic-Ford JB-2 von New York-air. Herzlichen Glückwunsch!
- Der Bilderwettbewerb hat mal wieder nicht so toll (garnicht) funktioniert. Deswegen wiederholen wir diesen im Mai. Es wird wie gewohnt nominiert und abgestimmt.
- Auch der Artikelwettbewerb (also nicht AdQ sondern der andere) soll bald bzw. im Juli wieder stattfinden. Die Anmeldung ist dort zu finden. Es wäre auch hier schön, wenn viele mitmachen würden.
- Das letzte Treffen ist jetzt auch schon wieder eine Weile her, deswegen haben wir uns gedacht, dass es an der Zeit ist, falls Interesse besteht, so langsam wieder in die Planung für ein neues Treffen zu starten. Wenn ihr interessiert seid, meldet euch doch bitte auf unserer Disk.
- Die nächste Videokonferenz findet am 29. Mai statt. Für nähere Infos siehe hier.
Wir begrüßen ganz herzlich unsere neuen Mitglieder Aurdi, Förkle und Graf von Rüdesheim.

Wir verabschieden uns von Jonaes02 und Fregattenkapitän, welche aufgrund von Inaktivität ausscheiden, sowie von TraffiWP und Bücherwurm76, die jetzt zu den erwachsenen Wikipedianern gehören.
Wirst du auch immer geblendet wenn du Wikipedia öffnest? In der englischen Wikipedia gibt es dafür nun eine Lösung: Ihr geht oben rechts auf Preferences > Gadgets und wählt dort unter Appearance Dark Mode Toggle aus. Danach findet ihr oben rechts neben eurer Watchlist einen Knopf, mit dem ihr zwischen Dark Mode und Light Mode wechseln könnt. In der Wikipedia-App geht das ganze noch unkomplizierter, dort könnt ihr den Dark Mode einfach in den Einstellungen unter Theme aktivieren. In der deutschen Wikipedia gibt es sowas nicht, da könnt ihr nur eine der hier aufgeführten Optionen nutzen. Bei mir funktionierte nur die letzte Option, allerdings lädt damit jede Seite erst einmal in weiß und wird erst danach schwarz, was ich super nervig fand.
Obwohl Erdöl größtenteils in Saudi-Arabien und anderen fernen Ländern gefördert wird, gibt es auch in Deutschland (noch) Erdölförderpumpen, die meisten davon offshore. Jedoch gibt es auch noch Förderpumpen auf Hamburger Stadtgebiet in Stadtteilen Reitbrook und Allermöhe. Es sind noch insgesamt acht Pumpen, von denen mindestens eine in einem Naturschutzgebiet liegt. Das Vorkommen wurde bei Bohrungen nach Trinkwasser 1910 entdeckt, als plötzlich Wasser, Schlamm und anschließend Erdgas aus dem Boden schossen. Durch Funkenflug eines Baufahrzeuges entzündete sich das Erdgas und es kam zu mehreren Feuersäulen, die ein Flammenkreuz bildeten. Es dauerte 20 Tage, bis das Feuer gelöscht werden konnte.
Das Bild Sägegarnele Palaemon serratus Ozeaneum Stralsund belegte den zweiten Platz im Wettbewerb zum Artikel des Quartals im ersten Quartal 2023. Aufgenommen von New York-air, zeigt es eine Sägegarnele im Ozeanum in Stralsund, wo die WikiCon 2022 stattfand.
