Undersøkelse om mangfoldet blant lesere[rediger kilde]
Wikimedia Foundations Research team planlegger å gjennomføre en spørreundersøkelse som en del av en oppfølgingsstudie av Wikipedias lesere. Du kan lese mer om de to første delene av studien på metawiki-siden lenket nedenunder, eller i de følgende to forskningsartiklene: https://arxiv.org/abs/1702.05379 og https://arxiv.org/abs/1812.00474. Vi forventer ingen avbrytelse av arbeidsflyten for bidragsytere under denne studien. Spørreundersøkelsen vil spørre lesere om deres motivasjon til å lese, samt stille noen få demografiske spørsmål (alder, kjønn, utdannelse, sted, og morsmål). Spørreundersøkelsen søker å forbedre vår forståelse av mangfoldet blant lesere og hvordan behovene og erfaringene til Wikipedia-lesere varierer på tvers av befolkningene. Vi planlegger å kjøre spørreundersøkelsen i en uke med start 2019-06-26. Den vil velge ut én av hver andre leser. For spørsmål må du gjerne pinge Isaac (WMF) eller legge igjen en kommentar på metawiki-siden. Takk skal du ha! --Isaac (WMF) (diskusjon) 27. jun. 2019 kl. 05:01 (CEST)

Tech News: 2019-28[rediger kilde]
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- For event organizers, if you request a temporary lift of the IP cap for mass account creation, this will now also raise the edit rate limit for those new accounts at the event, which will prevent another bottleneck. [7]
- Administrators at all Wiktionary, Wikivoyage, and Wikisource wikis are now able to use the new partial blocks feature. [8]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 July. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 July. It will be on all wikis from 11 July (calendar).
- The design of MediaWiki's software windows will change for desktop users. Layout will be simpler, buttons will be bolder and clearer, and close buttons will be just icons. This is like the mobile design. This will affect ContentTranslation, VisualEditor, TemplateWizard, and other tools. [9]
Meetings
- You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 10 July at 15:00 (UTC). See how to join.
