2021 community consultations: Notice and call for volunteers / translators
[edit source]From 5 April – 5 May 2021 there will be conversations on many Wikimedia projects about how to enforce the UCoC. We are looking for volunteers to translate key material, as well as to help host consultations on their own languages or projects using suggested key questions. If you are interested in volunteering for either of these roles, please contact us in whatever language you are most comfortable.
To learn more about this work and other conversations taking place, see Universal Code of Conduct/2021 consultations.

I am interested in hearing the input of Wikiversity users about the application of the Universal Code of Conduct, especially from the perspective of interactions on Wikiversity. Xeno (WMF) (talk) 23:57, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
Line numbering coming soon to all wikis
[edit source]
From April 15, you can enable line numbering in some wikitext editors - for now in the template namespace, coming to more namespaces soon. This will make it easier to detect line breaks and to refer to a particular line in discussions. These numbers will be shown if you enable the syntax highlighting feature (CodeMirror extension), which is supported in the 2010 and 2017 wikitext editors.
More information can be found on this project page. Everyone is invited to test the feature, and to give feedback on this talk page.

Suggested Values
[edit source]From April 29, it will be possible to suggest values for parameters in templates. Suggested values can be added to TemplateData and will then be shown as a drop-down list in VisualEditor. This allows template users to quickly select an appropriate value. This way, it prevents potential errors and reduces the effort needed to fill the template with values. It will still be possible to fill in values other than the suggested ones.
More information, including the supported parameter types and how to create suggested values: [1] [2]. Everyone is invited to test the feature, and to give feedback on this talk page.

multiple english wikiversity's?
[edit source]has there been discussion ever of multiple english Wikimedia Wikiversities? or at least the ability to have multiple public versions of similar resources? don't like how one page of a Wikimedia English Wikiversity is being modified?! Fork it! Maybe this can sort of be done, but I am not certain how acceptable it is here. thanks and cheers. Michael Ten (discuss • contribs) 03:47, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Michael Ten: The English Wikiversity already supports multiple learning projects on a given subject and multiple subpages with differing perspectives within a given learning project, depending on the learning project and its purpose or target audience. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 21:34, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
