Vicipéid:Halla baile

Is áit é an halla baile chun an Vicipéid a phlé is ceisteanna a chur. Is áit é chun fadhbanna teicniúla, polaisaithe agus oibrithe an Vicipéid a phlé. Is féidir leat nithe eile a bhaineann leis an Vicipéid a lua anseo freisin.

"Beirt nach bhfuil ‘Gaeilge mhaith’ acu a scríobh formhór na n-alt ar an Vicipéid"

le Maitiú Ó Coimín, Déardaoin, Eanáir 9 2025
Cé hiad an bheirt... Chaco cinnte ... Mise ?! Ach grásta Dé, b'amhlaidh dom féin !
An bhfuil go leor ailt a scríobh Chaco ann fós ?
Ní fheicim a lán níos mó, agus ní fheicim meaisínaistriúchán go minic.

Níor ghlac "ach le 1% den 61,000 alt ar an suíomh sa chorpas Gaeilge a seoladh in 2024
Seo https://www.corpas.ie/ga/eolas/
Ní raibh a fhios agam go bhfuil Corpas ann anois.

D'fhág an t-alt in ísle brí mé.

Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil fadhbanna againn, ach tá súil agam go bhfuil cúrsaí ag feabhsú de réir a chéile.
Focal ar bith faoi na foinsí... déanaimid aistriúcháin go minic, ach neamhaird déanta ar na foinsí iontacha atá ann as Gaeilge TGcoa (plé) 22:29, 9 Eanáir 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, mothaím mar an gcéanna :/ Táim anseo beagnach 20 bliain anois - an bhfuil mise an "fhadhb"? Tá ach "Ghaeilge na hArdteist" agam, as breis is 40 bliain ó shin anois, ach déanaim mó dhícheall lá i ndiaidh lae chun a vicí a fheabhsú; thrí obair ar infreastruchtúr, srl - saghas obair 'Sisyphean' é. Mura bhfuil mo chaighdeán Gaeilge maith go leor, cén fáth ar cheart dom fanacht anseo fiú? I'm so díspreagtha right now, that I want to pack it in - Alison ^plé 18:58, 10 Eanáir 2025 (UTC)

@Kevin Scannell: - sin ceist duitse, i ndáiríre. Cad is brí le "maith go leor" sa chomhthéacs seo? An bhfuilimíd ach dliteanais éigin? - Alison ^plé 19:03, 10 Eanáir 2025 (UTC)

@Alison Déanann tú obair iontach ... na bí buartha ! Bhí an-díomá orm nach raibh tú linn ar feadh ama in 2024.

@Kevin Scannell: - Táim buartha anois... 29 Nollaig an uair dheireanach a rinne tú eagarthóireacht anseo ! Tá súil againn go mbeidh tú ar ais go luath !

*** "Is ó lámh beirt úsáideoirí a tháinig formhór na n-alt (61,000) atá ar an Vicipéid." Sin 31,000+ ! Sin méid dochreidte, agus ní thuigim.

• Scríobh @Chaco (ógánach as an gCatalóin) alt amháin beagnach gach lá ar feadh cúpla bliain, 2011-2020 ... b'fhéidir 3,500 in iomlán.

• Chruthaigh an buachaill scoile @DMD3Music b'fhéidir 2,500 le linn 2014-2022.
  

Is mise a thug dúshláin dóibh.... i bhfad ró-dhéanach. Tá muid ró-chineálta, ... i gcónaí.

An raibh rógairí eile ann a rinne dochar ollmhór ?!

An bhfuil míthuiscint éigin ann agus "ó lámh beirt úsáideoirí a tháinig formhór na n-alt" ACH IN ALBAINIS ?!

*** "Ní féidir glacadh ach le 1% den 61,000 alt ar an suíomh" OK seo an corpas, tuigim. Ach tuigfidh an gnáthléitheoir Tuairisc nach bhfuil ach 610 alt atá réasúnta maith. Dubh agus bán a chur i gcomparáid le chéile !

*** "Tá an meon ann i measc riarthóirí nár cheart d’easpa cumais i dteanga bac a chur ar dhuine ábhar a chruthú"... I ndáiríre ?! Bhuel níl ach beirt riarthóirí ann... Kevin Scannell agus Alison. Cé a dúirt nó a scríobh é sin ?! Raiméis arís ?!

Ó bhó ... tá scéal na Vicipéidie ar bharr "I mBéal an Phobail" ar tuairisc.ie anois. Tá " droch-cháil ar an Vicipéid" agus tá an droch-cháil níos measa anois ná mar a bhí riamh roimhe an t-alt seo ! Céard a tharla ? TGcoa (plé) 22:47, 11 Eanáir 2025 (UTC)

Colin Ryan (plé) 03:49, 12 Eanáir 2025 (UTC) Is fearr dúinn ár n-aird a dhíriú ar na rudaí atá ag teastáil. Ní féidir stóras ollmhór eolais a dhéanamh den Vicipéid, ach ba cheart di trácht éigin a dhéanamh ar thopaicí coitianta (mar atá déanta cheana, mórán), agus trácht ar leith a dhéanamh ar ábhar a bhaineann leis na hÉireannaigh nó lena sliocht sa bhaile agus i gcéin. Ba mhaith liom breis alt a bheith ann ar ghnéanna den eolaíocht agus den fhealsúnacht. Ach is í an fhadhb is mó atá ann nach bhfuil ár ndóthain eagarthóirí ann agus Gaeilge measartha cruinn acu. Aontaím gur mhaith an rud é dá mbeadh breis béime in alt Tuairisc ar na rudaí is fearr a rinne lucht na Vicipéide, ach ní gá dúinn ár misneach a chailleadh.

Tá easpa ama orm féin le tamall anuas ach tá rún agam níos mó alt a sholáthar as seo amach. Déanaimis ár ndícheall.

• @TGcoa: - ah, GRMMMA - is an-chineálta thú :) I rith 2024, d'fhág mé ar feadh beagánín mar bhí mé an-gnóthach ar mo phost laethiúil, agus bhraithim ar an am céanna nach raibh mé maith go leor chun bheith anseo, agus mar sin thóg mé sos - Alison ^plé 04:49, 12 Eanáir 2025 (UTC)
• Ok - tá an airteagal Tuairisc ag éirí chosa a fhás anois agus tá sé scaipthe anseo ar TheJournal.ie inniu. I'm going to switch to Béarla, as the Journal crowd are going to start to arrive now. Na ceisteanna;

• "Na leathanaigh... 88,300 a bhí ann i Nollaig 2024. Cá bhfuair an t-iriseoir an 61,000? Sainmhíniú eile?" - there are over 61,000 pages here now, but they are in content space. There are over 100,000 pages including talk, templates, categories and so on. Bain súil ar an lch staidrimh.
• "“Tá liosta riarthóirí Vicipéide ar fáil ar an suíomh" - Cén áit? Cá bhfuil an liosta?" - there is an admin page - it's here, and it details what's expected of them. The live list of admins is available here - there are seven, but really only two or so that are active. Similarly, there are three Bureaucrats, including @Kwekubo: Gabriel Beecham, the creator of ga.wp (fear uasal é freisin) and myself. The list of all admin requests to-date are here, too
• "Cé mhéad "síolta” atá ann ... cá bhfuil na huimhreacha, le do thoil" - that's difficult. Just about every article here is just a few paragraphs. Many of the 'Chaco' ones are even just a single line. There's no automation to quantify these or to tag them, so I take that on myself, and try to 'bucketise' them into categories so that someone, somewhere will (I hope) augment them. You can get a hint at how many there are through the categorisation. Bain súil ar Catagóir:Síolta - it doesn't look to bad, until you look at something like Catagóir:Síolta tíreolaíochta na hÉireann - where there are over 3,000 geography stubs related to Ireland alone. A big chunk of those are one-liners built by a certain editor. I'd be willing to say that easily the majority of articles are stubs here. With the notable exception of yours, BTW :)
• Chaco (plé · dréachtaí) has made 28,889 edits here. Dmd3music (plé · dréachtaí) has made 85,219. Both of these are way more than I'd expected and could well be responsible for the vast amount of stubs just by sheer numbers.
• Regarding the stub articles, there are two schools of thought; they're worthless garbage and a waste of space - they're a useful start, and encourage others to get involved. The latter is how en.wp got started, but we don't have the critical mass of editors to make something of them, so they hang around as stubs. Are they useful? Well .... not really.
• The reason I'm so invested in templating, particularly Wikidata-enabled templates, is that these are an easy way to import useful information and turn a stub article into ... something ... that we can stand over. And each of the 'properties' (P-values) and labels (Q-values) only have to be translated to Irish once, and every article benefits from that.
• "Tá an meon ann i measc riarthóirí nár cheart d’easpa cumais i dteanga bac a chur ar dhuine ábhar a chruthú" - yeah, there are basically only two active admins, like you say - Kevin and myself. So I assume this is a reference to me? The reason I have that stance is that it literally states on the main page; "an chiclipéid shaor ar féidir le cách í a chur in eagar" - "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit". So, can they or can they not. @TGcoa: as it happens, you and I disagreed over that in the past, but we've been civil and worked with each other on compromise where possible. I don't think either of us went to the press and called each other out publicly on the matter. We all agree, though, that there's a constant battle between letting literally anyone edit vs. compromising on the standard. And we don't have a cadre of editors to clean up messes, like enwiki does, so both you and Kevin do have a point. See Vicipéid:Halla baile/Cartlann 17#Maidir le Coláiste Oiriall / daltaí ar an vicí - we all tried pretty hard to fix this.
• Vicipéid:Fáilte formalises this stance, and was written by Gabriel way back in 2004. It's written in a welcoming tone and says, "Ná bí buartha mura bhfuil Gaeilge líofa agat agus tú ag cruthú alt nua. Is féidir an teimpléad seo a chur ar bharr an ailt ionas go mbeidh cainteoir dúchais nó cainteoir líofa in ann súil a chaitheamh ar an litriú agus ar an ngramadach níos déanaí." If we want to move away from this, I'm fine. But we should agree to as a community, and then formalise it. I don't know how other wikis do this, but openness is supposed to be baked into the "anyone can edit" philosophy. Again, we can change this.
• More later - táim tuirseach :p

• Speaking for myself, I think the bit that hurts most is; "Is beag is féidir a dhéanamh faoin gcás, dar le Scannell, ó tharla go bhfuil an meon ann i measc riarthóirí Wikipedia nár cheart d’easpa cumais i dteanga bac a chur ar dhuine ábhar a chruthú don suíomh." since that's calling me out specifically. Those who know, will know. And if I'm the problem here, just please tell me to my face. It feels like a hit piece, TBH, as no real solutions are being suggested and it's likely to just drive away any native or proficient speakers from wanting to get involved. @OifigeachWMIE: Amy is at least talking about outreach, and community support, but comparing this to the sco.wiki issue in 2020 isn't helpful. Fortunately, that wasn't carried into the Journal article - Alison ^plé 07:06, 12 Eanáir 2025 (UTC)

  Tuigim go maith go bhfuil díomá ar dhaoine, agus go bhfuil ceisteanna fós gan freagra i dtaobh an alt sin agus na figiúirí éagsúla (61,000 vs. 88,000). Ó thaobh na ceiste “cé hiad an bheirt?”—nílim féin cinnte, agus sílim gur ceist í sin dár gcomhghleacaí Kevin.

  Maidir le:

  "Le sé mhí anuas – an dara leath den bhliain 2024 – tá b’fhéidir scór daoine níos mó ar an ardán ag cur leis na hailt"

  >>>> Ó Mheán Fómhair go Nollaig 2024 bhí méadú de níos mó ná 30 duine ar líon na rannpháirtithe rialta Vicipéid (mar atá le feiceáil ar an bPríomhleathanach) agus mé ag breathnú ar na sonraí sin. An rud céanna maidir leis an méid hailt.

  Féach anseo: Speisialta:ActiveUsers

  Ba é an bhéim a leag mé féin agus mé ag labhairt leis na hiriseoirí ná an obair for-rochtana agus na hacmhainní atáimid a fhorbairt: oiliúint, ceardlanna, cúrsaí teagaisc ar líne, imeachtaí pobail (m.sh. Celtic Knot 2024), agus mar sin de. Is é ár sprioc ná cur chuige dearfach agus tacaíochta a léiriú do dhaoine nua, ionas go bhfoghlaimfidh siad, go bhfeabhsóidh siad, agus go bhfanfaidh siad linn san fhadtréimhse.

  Mar is eol daoibh, i bpobal na Gaeilge, níl formhór againn líofa ó dhúchas (mise freisin, Gaeilge foghlamtha agam agus céim, ach fós bíonn botúin).

  Déanaimid go léir ár ndícheall, mar atá ráite.

  Má dhéanaimid neamhaird ar dhaoine a bhfuil Gaeilge idir eatarthu, nó mura gcuirimid fáilte roimh fhoghlaimeoirí, d’fhéadfadh an teanga í féin agus an Vicipéid a bheith i mbaol. Mar sin féin, tá sé tábhachtach go mbeadh féinfheasacht ag gach duine: go dtuigfí cathain is fearr cabhair a lorg, cathain is ceart seiceáil litrithe a dhéanamh, srl. Ach, ní ceart a bheith mífhoighneach ná mífheagrach leis na múinteoirí i gColáiste Oiriall (nó áit ar bith eile, le bhur dtoil). Ó mo thaithí féin, thaispeáin múinteoirí sin fíor-thuairim dearfach dúinn, agus ghlac siad lenár dtuairimí agus comhairle tar éis fadhbanna. Má chuirimid drochmheas, cruthaímid timpeallacht nimhiúil gan pobal a thógáil. Pointe eile tábhachtach is ea an dul chun cinn atá déanta ag na daltaí sin a ghlac páirt sa tionscadal. D’fheabhsaigh a gcuid Gaeilge go suntasach, mar aon lena muinín agus a scileanna. Seo an dream a gcaithfimid a spreagadh agus a thacú, ionas go leanfaidh siad orthu ag cur le Vicipéid agus ag forbairt mar chainteoirí Gaeilge. Is deis iontach é an Vicipéíd chun scríobh agus léamh na Gaeilge a chleactadh - ar an gClár Dubh, tá a fhios agam, ó thaobh an scríobh de is deis iontach é.

  Tá oscailteacht ar cheann de bhunchlocha Wikipedia, mar is eol daoibh go léir:

  “Is féidir le cách í a chur in eagar.”

  Teastaíonn uainn leanúint leis an spiorad sin, agus ag an am céanna caighdeán maith a choinneáil. Mar sin táimid ag cruthú acmhainní, ag reáchtáil imeachtaí pobail, agus ag glacadh páirte i bhfeachtais idirnáisiúnta Wikimedia (féach ar an bpostáil a rinne mé thuas Glao ar Vicipéideoirí: Aiteachas a chur ar Vicipéid) le béim a chur ar ábhar ar leith atá in easnamh. Bheadh sé iontach tuilleadh daoine a fheiceáil ag glacadh páirte iontu freisin.

  Mar fhocal scoir, ba mhaith liom cuireadh a thabhairt daoibh go léir teagmháil a dhéanamh liom le haon smaointe, moltaí nó iarratais a d’fhéadfadh cabhrú leis an obair riaracháin, an próiseas eagarthóireachta, nó le tacaíocht a thabhairt do dhaoine nua. Más dóigh libh go gcabhródh acmhainní nua, ranganna oiliúna, nó imeachtaí comhoibrithe, bíodh drogall oraibh scríobh chugainn. Ní éireoidh linn ach le chéile, agus táim ag tnúth le hoibriú libh uile chun an pobal Vicipéide a neartú agus a mhéadú.

  Ó thaobh dul chun cinn a dhéanamh amach anseo, mholfainn daoibh go léir bheith rannpháirteach in imeachtaí pobail. Tá mé sásta an Eagaratón míosúil a athbhunú ar líne, ionas gur féidir linn bualadh le chéile, ceisteanna a fhreagairt go díreach, agus tacaíocht a thabhairt dá chéile trí seisiúin comhibriú.

An t-alt ar journal.ie agus agallamh le Amy anois ! https://www.thejournal.ie/gaeilge-wikipedia-written-by-editors-who-did-not-speak-irish-6589572-Jan2025/ "Vicipéid was mostly written by two people who do not have fluent Irish." Raiméis ceapaim.... ceartúcháin bheaga, an chuid is mó, a rinne an gasúr Dmd3music agus ailt aon líne nó dhó a rinne Chaco. @Amy / @OifigeachWMIE... cá bhfuil na foinsí, na sonraí faoi? ?! @Alison níl ráiteas Kevin dírithe ort Bhí tú / tá tú i gcónaí thar a bheith cúramach ... chaith tú agus caitheann tú an t-am chun scríobh go maith.  Agus ní scríobhann tú mórán ar aon nós. Difríocht an-mhór le Chaco & Dmd3music... they didn't know what they didn't know and couldn't care less. Tá a fhios ag tú féin, a Alison, ag Kevin féin, mé féin, Seomac (fáilte ar ais !) agus eagarthóirí eile, nach bhfuil Gaeilge chruinn acu gach uair.. déanann muid go léir iarrachtaí chun srian a chur leis an damáiste.
Aontaím go huile agus go hiomlán, "níor cheart easpa cumais i nGaeilge bac a chur orainn eagarthóireacht a dhéanamh", mar shampla, póilíneacht, catagóirí, pictiúir, foinsí, srl. Caithfidh na heagarthóirí a bheith "féinfheasach" ... na hógánaigh Chaco & Dmd3music agus an dream i gColáiste Oiriall / daltaí ar an vicí, ní raibh siad féineolach, agus ba chuma leo sa diabhal.
Níos measa, ba chuma leis na múinteoirí i gColáiste Oiriall ? Alison, déanann tú an póilíneacht, agus déanann tú jab iontach ! Níl clúmhilleadh ar intinn Kevin nó Amy ar chor ar bith, táim cinnte de. Praiseach cheart atá ann, ... níor thig an t-iriseoir nó ní raibh an chumarsáid soiléir nó mar sin de. @Kevin Scannell agus @OifigeachWMIE ? Colin Ryan (plé) 02:56, 13 Eanáir 2025 (UTC) Ceann de na fadhbanna a thagann de seo ná go dtógann sé an oiread sin ama gach alt lochtach a cheartú. Déanaim féin é ach deis a bheith agam chuige, agus nílim ag caint anseo ar bhotúin mhóra ach ar rudaí atá neafaiseach go leor. Tá ailt in Wikipedia an Bhéarla féin agus ba léir duit nach cainteoirí dúchais a scríobh iad. (Tá lucht na Fraincise an-chruinn i gcónaí, ar ndóigh!) Tagann domheanma éigin orm nuair a thagaim trasna ar an oiread sin síolta agus gan aga agam ar rud tathagach a dhéanamh díobh, ach níl leigheas air.

---

Mholfainn do gach aon duine bhfuil spéis acu san ábhar seo an téacsleabhar ‘Ó Bhéarla go Gaeilge’, scríofa ag Antain Mac Lochlainn a léamh! Seo a leanas mír as a théacsleabhar; “Cainteoirí dúchais Béarla, a d’fhoghlaim Gaeilge go leibhéil chumais éagsúla, is mó a bhíonn ag aistriú go Gaeilge . Tá mise ar dhuine acu. Ní léir dom go díreach cén chiall atá le ‘cumas cainteoir dúchais’ i gcomhthéacs na dtéacsanna ardréime a bhíonn á n-aistriú go Gaeilge. Bíonn soctheangeolaithe ag trácht ar an Ghaeilge ‘thraidisiúnta’ a labhraítear go fóill i gceantair Ghaeltachta na hÉireann. An leor an Ghaeilge thraidisiúnta sin don té a bheadh i ngleic le téacs dlí a aistriú? Feictear domsa gur mar a chéile , cuid mhór, na dúshláin chomhréire agus na téarmaíochta ag an chainteoir dúchais agus ag an fhoghlaimeoir chumasach.”Ériugena (plé) 13:26, 14 Eanáir 2025 (UTC)

• A chairde, gabhaigí mo leithscéal nach raibh mé in ann páirt a ghlacadh sa chomhrá seo roimhe seo. Tá cúpla rud ag cur isteach orm i mo shaol pearsanta, ach chonaic mé na fógraí i mo chuntas cúpla lá ó shin, agus bhí mé ag iarraidh rud éigin a rá faoi seo. Ar dtús, níl mé ciúin ar an Vicipéid faoi láthair mar gheall ar an bpraiseach seo. Beidh mé ar ais go luath le cúnamh Dé. Agus le bheith soiléir, glacaim gur ormsa an locht iomlán as an bpraiseach a d'éirigh as na haltanna, agus as aon díomá atá ar éinne anseo. Gabhaigí mo leithscéal seo sin — ar ndóigh níorbh é sin an sprioc a bhí agam nuair a rinne mé comhrá le Maitiú.

  Tá meas mór agam ar gach duine atá anseo — daoine a bhfuil obair na gcapall déanta acu thar na blianta, go háirithe @Alison agus @TGcoa. Tá mé bródúil as go leor rudaí ar an suíomh seo, ach níor luadh an tuairim sin na haltanna.

  Maidir le "Tá an meon ann i measc riarthóirí..." — ba thagairt é sin don pholasaí sa tionscadal ina iomláine, agus luaigh mé an ráiteas ar Vicipéid an Bhéarla. Ní "callout" ortsa ar chor ar bith é, a Alison.

  Sea, dúirt mé go raibh beirt freagrach as cuid mhaith de na drochaltanna. Dúirt mé an rud céanna sa léacht a thug mé ag an Celtic Knot. Seans gurbh é an cur-i-láthair ón léacht sin a spreag spéis Maitiú i dtús báire. Ar aon nós, ní cuimhin liom na focail a d'úsáid mé ach tá muinín agam as Maitiú mar iriseoir, tá an t-alt sin cruinn gan dabht. Ach sílim go raibh siad curtha as a riocht san alt Béarla (sa Journal). Maidir leis an mbeirt eagarthóirí, níl ceachtar acu gníomhach anois, agus luaigh mé go bhfuil cuid mhaith den ábhar sin glanta nó scriosta anois.

Feminism and Folklore 2025 starts soon

Please help translate to your language

Dear Wiki Community,

You are humbly invited to organize the Feminism and Folklore 2025 writing competition from February 1, 2025, to March 31, 2025 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 generated list of suggested articles.

Organisers are requested to work on the following action items to sign up their communities for the project:

1. Create a page for the contest on the local wiki.
2. Set up a campaign on CampWiz tool.
3. Create the local list and mention the timeline and local and international prizes.
4. Request local admins for site notice.
5. Link the local page and the CampWiz link on the meta project page.

This year, the Wiki Loves Folklore Tech Team has introduced two new tools to enhance support for the campaign. These tools include the Article List Generator by Topic and CampWiz. The Article List Generator by Topic enables users to identify articles on the English Wikipedia that are not present in their native language Wikipedia. Users can customize their selection criteria, and the tool will present a table showcasing the missing articles along with suggested titles. Additionally, users have the option to download the list in both CSV and wikitable formats. Notably, the CampWiz tool will be employed for the project for the first time, empowering users to effectively host the project with a jury. Both tools are now available for use in the campaign. Click here to access these tools

Learn more about the contest and prizes on our project page. Feel free to contact us on our meta talk page or by email us if you need any assistance.

We look forward to your immense coordination.

Thank you and Best wishes,

Feminism and Folklore 2025 International Team

Imeacht i mBaile Átha Cliath Amárach

Haigh a chairde, seans nach bhfuil an póstáil seo feicthe agaibh.

Ba mhaith liom fógra gairid a thabhairt daoibh faoin Edit-a-thon Art+Feminism a bheidh ar siúl i gColáiste na Tríonóide, Baile Átha Cliath, ar an 5ú Márta 2025, ó 13:00 go 16:30. Beidh an t-imeacht suite sa South Training Room, i mbunurlár Leabharlann Eavan Boland (buaileann muid le chéile i bhfoyer na Leabharlainne).

Is ócáid speisialta í seo le ceiliúradh a dhéanamh le linn Lá Idirnáisiúnta na mBan agus chun an bhearna inscne a laghdú ar Wikipedia/Vicipéid. Tugtar cuireadh faoi leith do dhaoine a bhfuil spéis acu in ealaín, i stair agus i dteanga na Gaeilge, chun altanna a chruthú nó a fheabhsú faoi ealaíontóirí ban agus ábhair ghaolmhara.

Níl taithí roimh ré ag teastáil: tabharfar treoirlínte agus acmhainní d’eagarthóirí nua.

Moltar ríomhairí glúine a thabhairt leat, ionas gur féidir leat bheith ag obair gan stró.

Chun clárú, féach ar an nasc sa bhunphost. Táimid ag súil le bualadh le dhaoine ar an lá — beidh mé ann!

Go raibh míle maith agaibh!

Imeacht Seachtain na Gaeilge: MeithealWiki

Tá áthas orm a fhógairt go mbeidh an chéad cheardlann do MeithealWiki - togra nua eagraithe agam mar chuid de mo chuid oibre i bPobal Éireann Wikimedia - ar an 13ú Márta.

Beidh mé ag tabhairt cur síos faoi Vicipéid, bunscileanna eagarthóireachta, agus an obair atá le déanamh (ó foinsí a chur le halt go alt nua a chruthú.)

• Cathain? Déardaoin, 13ú Márta @ 17:00 - 19:00 UTC
• Cá bhfuil sé? Ar líne (clárú anseo don líosta)
• Cé atá fáilte? Duine ar bith a bhfuil suim acu sa Ghaeilge agus an domhan Wikimedia, is cuma do leibhéal taithí - ach beidh an ceardlann trí Ghaeilge amháin!

Déanfaidh muid plé ar cad is Vicipéid ann (agus conas a oibríonn sé), conas alt nua a thosú, tagairtí a chur leis, agus bealaí le bearnaí eolais a líonadh. Tá sé seo oiriúnach do thosaitheoirí agus tá fáite roimh dhaoine a bhfuil taithí eagarthóireachta acu cheana féin freisin. Beidh seisiúin comhoibriú tar éis an cur i láthair agus taispéaintas dá mbeadh fonn ar éinne taispéaintas scilleanna nó cabhair a thabhairt don lucht freastail i rith an imeacht.

Más mian leat páirt a ghlacadh, cláraigh linn inniu tríd an nasc seo! Ag tnúth go mór le bualadh libh!

Your wiki will be in read-only soon

Read this message in another language • Please help translate to your language

The Wikimedia Foundation will switch the traffic between its data centers. This will make sure that Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis can stay online even after a disaster.

All traffic will switch on 19 March. The switch will start at 14:00 UTC.

Unfortunately, because of some limitations in MediaWiki, all editing must stop while the switch is made. We apologize for this disruption, and we are working to minimize it in the future.

A banner will be displayed on all wikis 30 minutes before this operation happens. This banner will remain visible until the end of the operation.

You will be able to read, but not edit, all wikis for a short period of time.

• You will not be able to edit for up to an hour on Wednesday 19 March 2025.
• If you try to edit or save during these times, you will see an error message. We hope that no edits will be lost during these minutes, but we can't guarantee it. If you see the error message, then please wait until everything is back to normal. Then you should be able to save your edit. But, we recommend that you make a copy of your changes first, just in case.

Other effects:

• Background jobs will be slower and some may be dropped. Red links might not be updated as quickly as normal. If you create an article that is already linked somewhere else, the link will stay red longer than usual. Some long-running scripts will have to be stopped.
• We expect the code deployments to happen as any other week. However, some case-by-case code freezes could punctually happen if the operation require them afterwards.
• GitLab will be unavailable for about 90 minutes.

This project may be postponed if necessary. You can read the schedule at wikitech.wikimedia.org. Any changes will be announced in the schedule.

Please share this information with your community.

Sub-referencing: User testing

Apologies for writing in English, please help us by providing a translation below

Hi I’m Johannes from Wikimedia Deutschland's Technical Wishes team. We are making great strides with the new sub-referencing feature and we’d love to invite you to take part in two activities to help us move this work further:

1. Try it out and share your feedback

   Please try the updated wikitext feature on the beta wiki and let us know what you think, either on our talk page or by booking a call with our UX researcher.

2. Get a sneak peak and help shape the Visual Editor user designs

   Help us test the new design prototypes by participating in user sessions – sign up here to receive an invite. We're especially hoping to speak with people from underrepresented and diverse groups. If that's you, please consider signing up! No prior or extensive editing experience is required. User sessions will start May 14th.

We plan to bring this feature to Wikimedia wikis later this year. We’ll reach out to wikis for piloting in time for deployments. Creators and maintainers of reference-related tools and templates will be contacted beforehand as well.

Thank you very much for your support and encouragement so far in helping bring this feature to life!

We will be enabling the new Charts extension on your wiki soon!

(Apologies for posting in English)

Hi all! We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them.

As you probably know, the old Graph extension was disabled in 2023 due to security reasons. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the Charts extension, which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the EasyTimeline extension.

After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki.

The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from May 6. Please, consult our page on MediaWiki.org to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also consult the documentation about the extension on MediaWiki.org.

If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org, or ping me directly under this thread. If you encounter issues using Charts once it gets enabled on your wiki, please report it on the talk page or at Phabricator.

RfC ongoing regarding Abstract Wikipedia (and your project)

(Apologies for posting in English, if this is not your first language)

Hello all! We opened a discussion on Meta about a very delicate issue for the development of Abstract Wikipedia: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too.

We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation.

You can read the various hypothesis and have your say at Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content. Thank you in advance! -- Sannita (WMF) (plé) 15:26, 22 Bealtaine 2025 (UTC)

Ba mhaith liom cúpla focal a chur lena bhfuil ráite

AI

The elephant in the room today is AI (AI does not figure in the Straitéis at all);  why bother with Wikipedia, let alone the Vicipéid, with AI around?  I would be interested to see training or presentation material that addresses this and other material.  For the Vicipeid, the challenge now is acute. For example, if you want to know what an Eiscir (esker) is as Gaeilge, you are far better off asking ChatGPT today.   That will remain the case until Irish language editors go to COGG and reliable sources like leabhair scoile and import massively content that is well written, and Wikify it.

=> Current Vicipéid editors need to be persuaded to do that rather than starting translations from scratch of ponderous, heavy text on English Wikipedia, or writing on entertainment and sports topics.

PRESS COVERAGE

The Vicipéid highlight of the year so far has been very negative and uninformed press coverage, prompted by a Tuairisc article in January.

More generally, I would like to see attempts to go “i ngleic” with the Irish media, in English and Irish….  With interviews and articles, on the radio, TV, and the press. I appreciate that this is a skill and not everyone may know how to go about doing it.  For the Vicipéid, it would not be too hard to just rehash some of the positive articles that came out in the press in the mid-2000s and get them placed in written media again today.

SCOILEANNA

For the Vicipéid, I would see collaboration with schools to be just about raising awareness.   That supposes that the Vicipéid has decent content to offer school pupils.    But in the areas of History and Geography, articles in school textbooks as Gaeilge are generally superior to the Vicipéid (eg the Esker example above).   I am very opposed to editing events for schools, or indeed edathons for anyone that doesn’t have good written Gaeilge and is mature. Past contributions from school pupils have yielded far more trouble than value.  

 

EVENTS

I would prefer to see participation in concrete, key, language events such as Oireachtas na Gaeilge, ArdFheis Conradh na G,  and Scoileanna and Eigse like Scoil Merriman, that are more likely to have potentially competent editors.  I would see “Seachtain na Gaeilge” type events as more about raising awareness of the existence of the Vicipéid vs AI. And the  SnaG page on wikimedia.ie has yet to be updated for 2025 (I would have liked to see more concrete information for 2024).

TRAVEL

I would prefer to see resources put into Ireland, not collaboration in editing events abroad.

Wikimedia Community Ireland

“The group meets virtually monthly. Minutes from those meetings can be found …”   No update since 2023.

I would expect regular attempts to communicate with editors.  I would have liked more notice to prepare comments on  “dréacht-Straitéis 2025–2028”;  I got 4-days notice of the meeting on 27 May 2025.

Dréacht-Straitéis 2025–2028

I would appreciate

• More concrete information and ideas.
• At least a recognition of AI in the Straitéis, and some ideas around how technology can help us (references to DCU itself absent from the doc)
• There have been requests to prioritise Tuaisceart Éireann for 2 years now. Expecting concrete  details.
• “Continue to refine resources for educators”.  What concretely are these “resources”;  what toolkits do we have in mind?  Is it possible to see the Wiki Women toolkit?
• “leveraging social media to highlight relevant Irish language hashtags”. Any more concrete ideas? TGcoa (plé) 13:42, 27 Bealtaine 2025 (UTC)

I will certainly bring these up at the meeting if you are unable to attend. AI in the strategy is a good point.

Chun dul ar ais chugat ar cúpla rudaí:

" I would like to see attempts to go “i ngleic” with the Irish media, in English and Irish….  With interviews and articles, on the radio, TV, and the press."

Bhí mé ar an raidió le déanaí (ar Raidió na Life) chun tionscadal nua a phlé - bhí postáil agam ar BlueSky maidir leis agus ag seoladh preasráiteas nuair atá rudaí a roinnt maidir leis an méid oibre atá idir lámha againn anseo. Má tá aon ábhair nó rudaí a phlé sna meáin téigh i dteaghmháil liom!

" I am very opposed to editing events for schools, or indeed edathons for anyone that doesn’t have good written Gaeilge and is mature. Past contributions from school pupils have yielded far more trouble than value."

I hear what you are saying and we have certainly learned from previous projects that we will take into future however looking at other small language communities being exclusionary with who is allowed to edit is not helpful overall. I am looking at avenues to get funding for language lessons for editors (new and existing) to improve standard of Irish overall. Happy to also bring this up to discuss at the meeting.

"I would prefer to see participation in concrete, key, language events such as Oireachtas na Gaeilge, ArdFheis Conradh na G,  and Scoileanna and Eigse like Scoil Merriman, that are more likely to have potentially competent editors."

Bhí mise agus Éamon ag an Oireachtais i 2024 agus seastán againn, agus beidh muid ann arís im mbliana. Bhí an-chuid spéis ag daoine (ach dar leo nil an t-am acu chun eagarthóireacht a dhéanamh) agus fuair mé cruinniú leis an Rialtas ón seastán, tá obair idir lámha maidir le seo faoi láthair.

"the  SnaG page on wikimedia.ie has yet to be updated for 2025 (I would have liked to see more concrete information for 2024)."

Noted and will bring that and your other points up! Go raibh maith agat.

Agus ar do phointe "I would have liked more notice to prepare comments on  “dréacht-Straitéis 2025–2028”;  I got 4-days notice of the meeting on 27 May 2025."

Brón orm faoi seo, ba meabhrúchán é an postáil seo thuas. Bhí r-phost seolta amach ag Sophie cheana agus bhí na sonraí ar an nuachtlitir (seolta amach ar an 24ú Aibreáin) - an raibh r-phost faighte agat ag an am? OifigeachWMIE (plé) 15:32, 27 Bealtaine 2025 (UTC)

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 2025 Selection & Call for Questions

More languages • Please help translate to your language

Dear all,

This year, the term of 2 (two) Community- and Affiliate-selected Trustees on the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees will come to an end [1]. The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats.

The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4].

Here are the key planned dates:

• May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6]
• June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates
• July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5]
• August 2025: Campaign period
• August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period
• October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates
• Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated

Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [link].

Call for Questions

In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [link]

Election Volunteers

Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [link].

Thank you!

Upcoming Deployment of the CampaignEvents Extension

Hello everyone,

(Apologies for posting in English if English is not your first language. Please help translate to your language.)

The Campaigns Product Team is planning a global deployment of the CampaignEvents extension to all Wikipedias, including this wiki, during the week of June 23rd.

This extension is designed to help organizers plan and manage events, WikiProjects, and other on-wiki collaborations - and to make these efforts more discoverable.

The three main features of this extension are:

• Event Registration: A simple way to sign up for events on the wiki.
• Collaboration List: A global list of events and a local list of WikiProjects, accessible at Special:AllEvents.
• Invitation Lists: A tool to help organizers find editors who might want to join, based on their past contributions.

Note: The extension comes with a new user right called "Event Organizer", which will be managed by administrators on this wiki. Organizer tools like Event Registration and Invitation Lists will only work if someone is granted this right. The Collaboration List is available to everyone immediately after deployment.

The extension is already live on several wikis, including Meta, Wikidata, English Wikipedia, and more ( See the full deployment list)

If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to share them on the extension talkpage. We’d love to hear from you before the rollout.

Thank you!
