Proposal to create PNG thumbnails of static GIF images
There is a proposal at the Commons Village Pump requesting feedback about the thumbnails of static GIF images: It states that static GIF files should have their thumbnails created in PNG. The advantages of PNG over GIF would be visible especially with GIF images using an alpha channel. (compare the thumbnails on the side)
This change would affect all wikis, so if you support/oppose or want to give general feedback/concerns, please post them to the proposal page. Thank you. --McZusatz (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (トーク) 2015年7月24日 (金) 05:07 (UTC)

What does a Healthy Community look like to you?
Hi,
The Community Engagement department at the Wikimedia Foundation has launched a new learning campaign. The WMF wants to record community impressions about what makes a healthy online community.
Share your views and/or create a drawing and take a chance to win a Wikimania 2016 scholarship!
Join the WMF as we begin a conversation about Community Health. Contribute a drawing or answer the questions on the campaign's page.
Why get involved?
The world is changing. The way we relate to knowledge is transforming. As the next billion people come online, the Wikimedia movement is working to bring more users on the wiki projects. The way we interact and collaborate online are key to building sustainable projects. How accessible are Wikimedia projects to newcomers today? Are we helping each other learn?
Share your views on this matter that affects us all!
We invite everyone to take part in this learning campaign. Wikimedia Foundation will distribute one Wikimania Scholarship 2016 among those participants who are eligible.
More information
- All participants must have a registered user of at least one month antiquity on any Wikimedia project before the starting date of the campaign.
- All eligible contributions must be done until August 23, 2015 at 23:59 UTC
- Wiki link: Community Health learning campaign
- URL https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Evaluation/Community_Health_learning_campaign

コミュニティ ウィッシュリスト アンケート
皆さん、こんにちは!
ウィキメディア財団のCommunity Tech チームは熟練ウィキメディア投稿者のためのキュレーションとモデレーションのツールを作ることに焦点を当てています。もっとも有用な課題に取り組めるよう、私たちはコミュニティ ウィッシュリスト アンケートを始めようとしています。
アンケートの第1段階として、活動中の投稿者の皆さんから簡単な提案をしてもらおうと思っています。私たちに取り組んでほしい課題を説明し、なぜそれが重要かを説明してください。第1段階は2週間続きます。第2段階では提案への投票をお願いします。その後、上位10件を私たちが分析して優先度つきウィッシュリストを作ります。
このプロセスのほとんどは英語で行われますが、どのウィキメディア ウィキの人からもご提案を受け付けます。ボランティアの翻訳者にご提案を英語に翻訳してもらいたいと思っています。
ご提案には、解決したい問題と誰にとってメリットがあるかに加え、可能であれば提案する解決法を含めてください。ご提案はコミュニティ ウィッシュリスト アンケート上で送信できます。入力欄と大きな青いボタンを使ってください。ご提案は2週間受け付けられ、11月23日に終わります。
提案を楽しみにしています!
Wikimania 2016 scholarships ambassadors needed
Hello! Wikimania 2016 scholarships will soon be open; by the end of the week we'll form the committee and we need your help, see Scholarship committee for details.
If you want to carefully review nearly a thousand applications in January, you might be a perfect committee member. Otherwise, you can volunteer as "ambassador": you will observe all the committee activities, ensure that people from your language or project manage to apply for a scholarship, translate scholarship applications written in your language to English and so on. Ambassadors are allowed to ask for a scholarship, unlike committee members.

This is a message regarding the proposed 2015 Free Bassel banner. Translations are available.
Hi everyone,
This is to inform all Wikimedia contributors that a straw poll seeking your involvement has just been started on Meta-Wiki.
As some of your might be aware, a small group of Wikimedia volunteers have proposed a banner campaign informing Wikipedia readers about the urgent situation of our fellow Wikipedian, open source software developer and Creative Commons activist, Bassel Khartabil. An exemplary banner and an explanatory page have now been prepared, and translated into about half a dozen languages by volunteer translators.
We are seeking your involvement to decide if the global Wikimedia community approves starting a banner campaign asking Wikipedia readers to call on the Syrian government to release Bassel from prison. We understand that a campaign like this would be unprecedented in Wikipedia's history, which is why we're seeking the widest possible consensus among the community.
Given Bassel's urgent situation and the resulting tight schedule, we ask everyone to get involved with the poll and the discussion to the widest possible extent, and to promote it among your communities as soon as possible.
(Apologies for writing in English; please kindly translate this message into your own language.)
Thank you for your participation!

The symbol for advanced news items has been changed. This is because the symbols were too similar. If a news item is for more technical readers it now looks like this: . You can give feedback on this change.
Problems
- On September 29 users' skin preferences were removed by mistake on small and medium-sized wikis. This changed preferences back to Vector. Restoring all data would cause even more problems. Affected users who want to have their preference changed back globally can ask for it as a comment on Phabricator task T119206 until December 21 2015. [150]
- Some scheduled tasks were not working properly from September to recently. This meant some pages in the special pages namespace were not updated. It has now been fixed. [151]
Changes this week
- Wikinews, Wikispecies, MediaWiki.org and Meta will be able to use information from Wikidata. [152][153]
- There are no MediaWiki deployments this week (calendar).
Meetings
- You can join the next meeting with the VisualEditor team. During the meeting, you can tell developers which bugs you think are the most important. The meeting will be on 1 December at 19:00 (UTC). See how to join.
- You can join the next meeting with the Architecture committee. The topic this week is using the
<figure>
tag for media. The meeting will be on 2 December at 22:00 (UTC). See how to join.
Future changes
- Category watchlists are now available on test wikis and MediaWiki.org. The plan is to enable it on most wikis in January. [154]
- Cross-wiki notifications are being developed. When this is done you will not have to go to the wiki where something happened to be notified. [155]

This is a message from the Wikimedia Foundation. Translations are available.
As many of you know, January 15 is Wikipedia’s 15th Birthday!
People around the world are getting involved in the celebration and have started adding their events on Meta Page. While we are celebrating Wikipedia's birthday, we hope that all projects and affiliates will be able to utilize this celebration to raise awareness of our community's efforts.
Haven’t started planning? Don’t worry, there’s lots of ways to get involved. Here are some ideas:
- Join/host an event. We already have more than 80, and hope to have many more.
- Talk to local press. In the past 15 years, Wikipedia has accomplished extraordinary things. We’ve made a handy summary of milestones and encourage you to add your own. More resources, including a press release template and resources on working with the media, are also available.
- Design a Wikipedia 15 logo. In place of a single icon for Wikipedia 15, we’re making dozens. Add your own with something fun and representative of your community. Just use the visual guide so they share a common sensibility.
- Share a message on social media. Tell the world what Wikipedia means to you, and add #wikipedia15 to the post. We might re-tweet or share your message!
Everything is linked on the Wikipedia 15 Meta page. You’ll find a set of ten data visualization works that you can show at your events, and a list of all the Wikipedia 15 logos that community members have already designed.
If you have any questions, please contact Zachary McCune or Joe Sutherland.
Thanks and Happy nearly Wikipedia 15!
-The Wikimedia Foundation Communications team

Password Strength RFC
こんにちは。
ウィキメディア財団(WMF)では、MediaWiki:Commons.jsで編集権限のあるユーザと、チェックユーザー権限またはオーバーサイト権限のあるユーザに対してパスワードの制約を強化する案をつくり、メタウィキでコメントの募集を始めました。
これらの権限を持つユーザはプロジェクトを運営する上で重要な機能を扱うことができ、アカウント情報が悪意ある者の手にわたってしまえば、実害を生じかねません。現在、パスワードの制約は最低1文字というものですが、これを最低8文字(バイト)とし、さらに非常によくありがちな一部のパスワードを禁止しようと考えています。
アクセスできるものの多い権限を持つユーザのパスワードに対する制約を厳しくすることによって、ウィキメディアのウィキの安全性を高めたいと考えております。コメント依頼をご覧になり、提案の全文をお読みいただき、ご意見をお聞かせいただければ幸いです。
よろしくお願い申し上げます。
