Hello! Here is more news from the focus area “Make working with templates easier” by Wikimedia Germany’s Technical Wishes project:
Your wiki will soon receive an overall improved interface for editing templates in VisualEditor and in the new wikitext mode (beta feature). This includes several improvements:
- general redesign (more spacing, bigger window for better usability),
- a better overview of parameters that are available for a template,
- an easier way to add parameters via checkboxes and search filters,
- better visibility of important information,
- added links to documentation and help pages.
More in-depth information can be found on the project page on Meta. The planned deployment date for these changes is October 6.
Please note
We would be very happy to hear what you think of these changes. Please let us know on this talk page. -- Johanna Strodt (WMDE) (Yɛltɔɣa) 14:09, 22 Silimin gɔli September 2021 (GMT)Reply[reply]
- Hello again! Unfortunately, this deployment will be postponed a bit:
- Our team is currently still working on a few optimizations for mobile and for screen readers, so we’re planning to deploy the feature to your wiki in late October/beginning of November.
- That also means that the texts on this subpage are not finished yet. We’ll give you an update here on your village pump once the texts are done. Then you can update your help page accordingly.
- If you haven’t already translated the VE template dialog texts, now is a good time to do this.
- For those who are curious what to expect, here are two videos: One shows the current interface on English Wikipedia, the other one shows the improved interface which you’ll get soon (currently on betawiki):

- The documentation of the improvements on the Visual Editor template dialog is finally complete now and can be found here. Sorry for the delay. Please remember to translate the VE template dialog texts if you haven’t already. The deployment of these changes is planned for November 16th. – For the Technical Wishes team, Timur Vorkul (WMDE) (Yɛltɔɣa) 15:38, 4 Silimin gɔli November 2021 (GMT)Reply[reply]
Thank you so much for the kind gesture. We look forward to a more super view. 16th November is already saved in my calendar to wake up to a new introduction of an interface. Dnshitobu (Yɛltɔɣa) 21:56, 4 Silimin gɔli November 2021 (GMT)Reply[reply]
Final deployment date: template dialog improvements for VisualEditor and new wiktext mode
Unfortunately, the deployment had to be postponed and did not happen on November 16th as announced. I am very sorry about this. The extensive template dialog improvements for VisualEditor and new wiktext will finally be available from November 24th on your wiki. If you have any feedback, please let us know on the project’s talk page. -- Timur for Wikimedia Germany’s Technical Wishes team, Timur Vorkul (WMDE) (Yɛltɔɣa) 14:06, 23 Silimin gɔli November 2021 (GMT)Reply[reply]

Hello. To facilitate steward granting of bot access, I suggest implementing the standard bot policy on this wiki. In particular, this policy allows stewards to automatically flag known interlanguage linking bots (if this page says that is acceptable) or bots that fix double redirects. The policy also enables global bots on this wiki (if this page says that is acceptable), which are trusted bots that will be given bot access on every wiki that allows global bots.
This policy makes bot access requesting much easier for local users, operators, and stewards. To implement it we only need to create a redirect to this page from Project:Bot policy, and add a line at the top noting that it is used here. If you use or prefer to use a dedicated project page for handling bot flag requests, that is also acceptable. Please read the text at Meta-Wiki before commenting. If you object, please say so; I hope to implement in two weeks if there is no objection, since it is particularly written to streamline bot requests on wikis with little or no community interested in bot access requests. Thank you for your consideration. --Zabe (Yɛltɔɣa) 17:17, 16 Silimin gɔli January 2022 (GMT)Reply[reply]
- I Strongly support this! It is a great idea knowing the power of bots and how they can make our language wikipedia great. Dnshitobu (Yɛltɔɣa) 22:27, 25 Silimin gɔli January 2022 (GMT)Reply[reply]
- Thank you. I've implemented the policy. Please add on top of this page the following:
* '''en:''' Requests for the [[m:bot|bot]] flag should be made on this page. This wiki uses the [[m:bot policy|standard bot policy]], and allows [[m:bot policy#Global_bots|global bots]] and [[m:bot policy#Automatic_approval|automatic approval of certain types of bots]]. Other bots should apply below, and then [[m:Steward requests/Bot status|request access]] from a steward if there is no objection.

Dear Dagbani Wikipedia community,
Please vote here on whether to extend the administrator positions of these two users. Adminship will expire at the end of February 2022 as an initial trial, but now we are voting on whether to indefinitely extend adminship.
We have made good use of adminship for the past several months, and see our roles as more like online maintenance workers rather than 'bosses'. Everyone on this Wikipedia has been quite cooperative and helpful, so our work was mostly limited to fixing broken redirects and moving pages. There are currently only 3 admins maintaining this wiki, so manpower would definitely be helpful for the community. Sabon Harshe (Yɛltɔɣa) 12:05, 21 Silimin gɔli February 2022 (GMT)Reply[reply]

Hello! A few months ago, your wiki received these improvements from the Templates project by Wikimedia Deutschland’s Technical Wishes team:
- In the template dialog of the VisualEditor, several fundamental improvements were done. (1)
- A new attribute “suggested values” was introduced to help you clarify what values a parameter may expect. (2)
- When using syntax highlighting, line numbers are shown in the template namespace. (3)
A few wikis have these line numbers in all namespaces. If you want this for your wiki as well, please reach out to us.
On March 9, more improvements from the Templates project are coming to this and many more wikis:
- Finding and inserting templates will become easier with an improved search and added warnings. (4)
- In VisualEditor, you will be able to remove a template from a page via the context menu, just like removing a table or an image. (5)
- Matching brackets will be highlighted (when you use syntax highlighting (CodeMirror)). (6)
- The color scheme in syntax highlighting (CodeMirror) will be updated for better readability. (7)
These improvements have been tested on a few other wikis for a few months now, but we’d love to hear what you think of them on the talk pages of the project pages linked above ([1] - [7]).
A few weeks later, we’re also going to add a colorblind-friendly color scheme in syntax highlighting (CodeMirror extension). You’ll be able to activate it via a user setting.

Christmas Greetings and a Happy New Year 2023,
You are humbly invited to organize the Feminism and Folklore 2023 writing competition from February 1, 2023, to March 31, 2023 on your local Wikipedia. This year, Feminism and Folklore will focus on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics for the project, with a Wiki Loves Folklore gender gap focus and a folk culture theme on Wikipedia.
You can help Wikipedia's coverage of folklore from your area by writing or improving articles about things like folk festivals, folk dances, folk music, women and queer folklore figures, folk game athletes, women in mythology, women warriors in folklore, witches and witch hunting, fairy tales, and more. Users can help create new articles, expand or translate from a list of suggested articles.
Organisers are requested to work on the following action items to sign up their communities for the project:
- Create a page for the contest on the local wiki.
- Set up a fountain tool or dashboard.
- Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes.
- Request local admins for site notice.
- Link the local page and the fountain/dashboard link on the meta project page.
This year we would be supporting the community's financial aid for Internet and childcare support. This would be provided for the local team including their jury and coordinator team. This support is opt-in and non mandatory. Kindly fill in this Google form and mark a mail to support@wikilovesfolklore.org with the subject line starting as [Stipend] Name or Username/Language. The last date to sign up for internet and childcare aid from our team is 20th of January 2023, We encourage the language coordinators to sign up their community on this link by the 25th of January 2023.

We have recently become unable to access the WorldCat API which provided the ability to generate citations using ISBN numbers. The Wikimedia Foundation's Editing team is investigating several options to restore the functionality, but will need to disable ISBN citation generation for now.
This affects citations made with the VisualEditor Automatic tab, and the use of the citoid API in gadgets and user scripts, such as the autofill button on refToolbar. Please note that all the other automatic ways of generating citations, including via URL or DOI, are still available.
You can keep updated on the situation via Phabricator, or by reading the next issues of m:Tech News. If you know of any users or groups who rely heavily on this feature (for instance, someone who has an upcoming editathon), I'd appreciate it if you shared this update with them.
