Except the biggest, the English Wikipedia. What's the reason for lagging
behind?

On a technical level, this is defined as wgEnablePartialBlocks in config,
which is currently:


   - Meta;
   - MediaWiki.org;
   - test wikis;
   - all Wikisources (except Old Wikisource), all Wikivoyages, and all
   Wiktionaries; and
   - most of the big Wikipedias: Arabic, Bengali, German, Farsi, Finnish,
   French, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Russian, Serbian,
   Telugu and Chinese.

Changes can be tracked in https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/index.php (but the
files are large and not very friendly).

I'll leave that to the brilliant Anti-Harassment Tools team.

This is so great. Kudos to the team for adding tools to prevent abuse and
harassment that allow for more targeted policy enforcement.

How do we see which wikis have partial blocks deployed already / are
planning to have it deployed? And is there any way administrators can
request deployment?

[Wikimedia-l] Partial blocks update

[Sydney Poore]

Hello all,

The Wikimedia Foundation Anti-Harassment Tools team is wrapping up improvements
to Special:Block that added the ability to set a Partial block

.

While no functionality has changed for sitewide blocks, Special:Block now
allows for the ability to block a named user account or ip address from:

   1.

   Editing one or more specific page(s)
   2.

   Editing all pages within one or more namespace(s)
   3.

   Emailing other users


Administrators on all Wikimedia projects are invited to test this new way
of doing blocks on testwiki. Admins can reply off list to this email to
request access to test.

Administrators on wikis where partial blocks are deployed are invited to
share with other Wikimedia administrators examples of the way that partial
blocks are being used.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Update on Wikimedia site and system outages

[Heather Walls]

Hello again,

As a follow-up to my last note on the September 6th DDoS attack, we wanted
to provide you with an update. There have been no further attacks in the
last week and our sites are now running normally. Our SRE team is
continuing to monitor the situation.

Based on what we learned in this attack, our security and engineering teams
are researching and putting together plans for more protection of our
infrastructure to address any potential attacks in the future.

We appreciate everyone’s support, particularly the folks on the SRE team,
in helping to restore access.

Yours,
Heather

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wiki loves SDGs

[Jan Ainali]

I heard a great quote the other month, a rif on some older quote: "There is
no free knowledge on a dead planet."

Besides that, there is plenty of core activities whose stories can be told
in the framework of the SDGs, because there is by nature a lot of alignment
between them. And when they are, they will be even more powerful, getting
more people onboard and further our mission beyond current plans. So it is
a false dichotomy putting the core mission against the SDGs when they
probably will be synergistic instead.

That's nice, but the mission of the Foundation is to help everyone
share in the sum of all knowledge, and people who have donated to the
Fundation have done so to further that mission, not some other
mission, however worthy.  If members of the Community wish to support
the SDG, there are plenty of ways in which they can do so.  Diverting
resources from the mission of the Foundation weakens its core mission
and, I'll be blunt, is a fraud on the donors.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] "The Foundation does not care so much of the French-speaking contributors"

[Henry Wood]

Joseph

I saw no criticism of  a named individual, but of the Foundation.  With
nearly three hundred employees and a budget of a hundred million dollars,
when the Foundation commits to sending a representative to a meeting, it
may reasonably be expected to have the resources to deliver on that
commitment.  Not to do so -- with an airy "Sometimes things don't work out"
-- suggests either a very poor state of internal organisation or, as has
been suggested here, a lack of commitment to the function that it was
supposed to have been represented at.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Welcoming Wikimedia Foundation’s new CTO, Grant Ingersoll

[James Salsman]

Well, I'm thrilled about this, especially after having had a look
through 
https://www.slideshare.net/lucidworks/searching-for-better-code-presented-by-grant-ingersoll-lucidworks

Honestly, though, it's only the third best thing that happened this
week after Valerie Plame entering politics and the UC system divesting
from fossil fuels.

Grant, welcome! My advice is to set make a long list of concrete KPIs
for contributor (e.g. editor) support, reach, and cloud support, in a
way that can be used for fundraising. The fundraising messaging has
been stuck for years on this thing about, "if everyone reading this
contributed the cost of a cup of coffee, then _some goal here_," which
is okay, but could be so much better flipped with the KPIs as the ask,
e.g., "Each $CURRENCY you donate will pay to support N additional
$CONTENTS," where the wikipedias can use ops measurements of the
resources typical to, e.g., take an article from Start to B class, for
example, or how much time, server electricity including idle time, and
other resource it takes to get a new word added to Wiktionary to some
level of proficiency. If these units relate to the potential donor's
language or geography, all the better. People geolocated in the
developed world using languages with highly developed wikipedias and
wiktionaries can be told how much it would cost to, for example,
eliminate units of the various WP:BACKLOG items you find suitable in
multivariate e.g. Latin squares donation message testing. (Or add new
technology projects like an intelligibility- and natural spoken
feedback version of https://www.speechace.co/api_sample/ hint
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T166929#5473028 hint.)

Also please take Curecoin instead of Bitcoin, even if that means
paying the extra transaction fee before converting the Curecoin to
cash. It is the height of folly to be as close to endorsing wasted
electricity-based cryptocurrency as we already do, when alternatives
with a benefit are less commonly known. The only other blockchain
thing I like is that long-term state-sponsored censorship mitigation
program can be based on copying the dumps to IPFS, but please also
support the CDN efforts like Encrypted-SNI:

Re: [Wikimedia-l] "The Foundation does not care so much of the French-speaking contributors"

[Florence Devouard]

Sorry to say Jane, but your answer strikes me as being completely beside 
the point :(


The issue Natachat was raising is related to funding our local 
activities, a situation currently made difficult by the new rapid grant 
system (*) She gave the example of the Art and Feminism, but this is a 
single example and other projects are also impacted by those changes.
I do not see how a problem with WMF funding scheme could be solved by 
talking to other volunteers. I very much doubt Natachat would need 
Valerie to explain her how to set up and run a local project on 
gender-gap issues. We are slightly beyond this...


The bottom line is that the community engagement department changed a 
LOT in the past few months, with arrivals and departures. And this 
department is essential for the smoothness of volunteer-run initiatives.


So yes, it was to be expected that the project leads would have been 
happy to meet WMF staff to have the opportunity to better understand the 
changes and the new directions the WMF is heading to.


Florence


* in the new system, grant requests for some targetted drive (such as 
art and feminism or wiki loves) must be made during specific time frame. 
The idea in itself is not a bad one and could help the grant team to be 
more efficient. The problem is that the agenda is too tight, which means 
volunteers have to start activities before they get the financial 
support and to a certain extent even start the activities before they 
get the approval of support.

were very important for the gender gap.
So ... Some of us were disappointed indeed.
Kind regards,
Natacha

Most extraordinary, all involved are to be congratulated, and
most importantly the Basque People and their Representatives who have
through their Government rendered such generous financial support, an
Example to the World.

With Personal and Warm Regards, Sincerely, John, John DeBruyn, Denver,

[Wikimedia-l] Releasing the Wikimedia Foundation’s 2019 sustainability report

[Lydia Hamilton]

Hi everyone,

At Wikimania 2019, we shared information about the upcoming sustainability
report for the Wikimedia Foundation. Today, we’re publishing that report in
full. You can find an analysis of the report and what we’ll be doing next
in our sustainability efforts on the Wikimedia Foundation website here:
https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2019/09/19/how-the-wikimedia-foundation-is-making-efforts-to-go-green

You can also read the full report on Commons here:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_Foundation_Sustainability_Assessment_and_Carbon_Footprint.pdf

The report was developed in collaboration with the Strategic Sustainability
Group, a consultancy focused on helping organizations assess their
environmental impact. It includes a summary of our current practices,
identifies opportunities, and provides recommendations on how the
Foundation can do better. While it focuses primarily on the environmental
impact of the Wikimedia Foundation, rather than the movement as a whole, we
view it as an important starting point for further work in this area.

As an organization, there is much we’re already doing to limit our
environmental impact, but there is also much work we still have to do. Over
the next year, dedicated staff at the Foundation will be creating a
sustainability policy framework to incorporate sustainability as a guiding
practice in the organization.

Thank you to the staff and many groups and individuals in the movement who
worked with and encouraged us to take this important step to ensure
Wikimedia is supporting a sustainable world.

If you want to help spread the word, please retweet @Wikimedia and share
the blog post from your own channels. Our hope is that this work will help
build awareness around the need for organizations, and in particular tech
companies, to adopt more sustainable practices.

If you have questions or feedback on the report, we ask that you post them
on the talk page on Meta: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Sustainability

Thank you,
Lydia

Can someone explain to me why it’s so funny to repeat the exact same
toxic tone that this mailing list is notorious for, but this time
jokingly? It’s not like this is a fun, harmless reminder of a dreadful
past we’ve long left behind us…

Great news Galder!
Your fantastic education program should inspire other laguage communities
here in Europe. It is a really great way to help the encyclopedia grow.
