Preliminary results of the 2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees elections
biguhêreHello all,
Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2024 Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election. Close to 6000 community members from more than 180 wiki projects have voted.
The following four candidates were the most voted:
While these candidates have been ranked through the vote, they still need to be appointed to the Board of Trustees. They need to pass a successful background check and meet the qualifications outlined in the Bylaws. New trustees will be appointed at the next Board meeting in December 2024.
Learn more about the results on Meta-Wiki.
Best regards,
The Elections Committee and Board Selection Working Group

For the Committee Support team,
'Wikidata item' link is moving, finally.
biguhêreHello everyone, I previously wrote on the 27th September to advise that the Wikidata item sitelink will change places in the sidebar menu, moving from the General section into the In Other Projects section. The scheduled rollout date of 04.10.2024 was delayed due to a necessary request for Mobile/MinervaNeue skin. I am happy to inform that the global rollout can now proceed and will occur later today, 22.10.2024 at 15:00 UTC-2. Please let us know if you notice any problems or bugs after this change. There should be no need for null-edits or purging cache for the changes to occur. Kind regards, -Danny Benjafield (WMDE) 11:29, 22 çiriya pêşîn 2024 (UTC)

Proposal to enable the "Contribute" entry point in Kurdish Wikipedia
biguhêreHello Kurdish Wikipedians,
Apologies as this message is not in your language. Please help translate to your language.
The WMF Language and Product Localization team proposes enabling an entry point called "Contribute" to your Wikipedia.
The Contribute entry point is based on collaborative work with other product teams in the Wikimedia Foundation on Edit discovery, which validated the entry point as a persistent and constant path that contributors took to discover ways to contribute content in Wikipedia.
Therefore, enabling this entry point in your Wikipedia will help contributors quickly discover available tools and immediately click to start using them. This entry point is designed to be a central point for discovering contribution tools in Kurdish Wikipedia.
Who can access it
Once it is enabled in your Wikipedia, newcomers can access the entry point automatically by just logging into their account, click on the User drop-down menu and choose the "Contribute" icon, which takes you to another menu where you will find a self-guided description of what you can do to contribute content, as shown in the image below. An option to "view contributions" is also available to access the list of your contributions.

For experienced contributors, the Contribute icon is not automatically shown in their User drop-down menu. They will still see the "Contributions" option unless they change it to the "Contribute" manually.
This feature is available in four Wikipedia (Albanian, Malayalam, Mongolian, and Tagalog). We have gotten valuable feedback that helped us improve its discoverability. Now, it is ready to be enabled in other Wikis. One major improvement was to make the entry point optional for experienced contributors who still want to have the "Contributions" entry point as default.
We plan to enable it on mobile for Wikis, where the Section translation tool is enabled. In this way, we will provide a main entry point to the mobile translation dashboard, and the exposure can still be limited by targeting only the mobile platform for now. If there are no objections to having the entry point for mobile users from your community, we will enable it by 10th December 2024.
We welcome your feedback and questions in this thread on our proposal to enable it here. Suppose there are no objections, we will deploy the "Contribute" entry point in your Wikipedia.
We look forward to your response soon.
Thank you!

- Hello Mr. @UOzurumba (WMF) this plugin is good and I think it can be improved a little more. Learn A search field for writing a new article can be added to the top of the list of articles that need to be written. Penaber49 (gotûbêj) 05:07, 28 çiriya paşîn 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, @Penaber49, for your feedback and suggestions. I would greatly appreciate it if you could clarify your thoughts on the idea of adding a Learn A search field for writing new articles to the list of articles that need to be written. Are you suggesting that we provide access to the Newcomer homepage, the help panel and the Newcomer tasks feature to the Contribute entry point? This way, newcomers would have the necessary resources at their disposal to assist them in making their first edits through the suggested edit feed.

- Hello @UOzurumba (WMF) the help panel may make sense. I also think that if an extra search bar is added, the plugin will be more useful. For example, when a search bar is added, the plugin becomes both more useful and more suitable for its purpose. Penaber49 (gotûbêj) 04:33, 3 kanûna pêşîn 2024 (UTC)
- @Penaber49, thank you for the clarification; your suggestion is noted. UOzurumba (WMF) (gotûbêj) 18:25, 4 kanûna pêşîn 2024 (UTC)
