::Thanks [[User:Dave Braunschweig|Dave Braunschweig]]. Following your suggestion, embedding the mobile version does do a reasonable job because it retains the styling and uses stripped down navigation bars. But a clean, styled embed of just the page content would be ideal. So, I followed your other suggestion and added a phabricator request: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T307462. -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 14:00, 3 May 2022 (UTC) |

Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees election 2022 Call for Candidates
section In a nutshell: The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees oversees the Wikimedia Foundation's operations. Community-and-affiliate selected trustees and Board-appointed trustees make up the Board of Trustees. Each trustee serves a three year term. The Wikimedia community has the opportunity to vote for community-and-affiliate selected trustees. The Wikimedia community will vote to fill two seats on the Board in 2022. This is an opportunity to improve the representation, diversity, and expertise of the Board as a team. Please consider submitting your candidacy to join the Board of Trustees. –Movement Strategy and Governance on behalf of the Elections Committee and the Board of Trustees (full announcement) |
Hello everyone! There is an open Call for Candidates for the 2022 Board of Trustees election. Find out more on the Apply to be a Candidate page. Xeno (WMF) (discuss • contribs) 01:16, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
- The seats to be filled this year were previously selected by affiliates in the m:Affiliate-selected Board seats/2019 process. This year, a different method will be used:
- Candidates submit their applications (by May 9; this deadline may be slightly extended);
- Any community member can become a candidate if they meet the general and special conditions outlined here.
- Affiliates vote to shortlist six (6) names from the candidates' pool.
- Each affiliate carries one vote. The affiliate vote is scheduled to take place in early July.
- The Community votes to elect two of the six shortlisted candidates.
- Community Voting is scheduled to begin on August 15 and end on August 29.
- The Board will appoint the two newly-elected candidates as the new Trustees.
- This final step, which will conclude the election process, is expected to take place in early October 2022.
- Candidates submit their applications (by May 9; this deadline may be slightly extended);
The Movement Strategy and Governance team is inviting local users to help publicize the different stages of the election . Feel free to add your name here. Thanks in advance, and to those who have already registered.
If you have any questions, please post them here, on Meta-wiki, or reach out to me directly.
Kindly cross-post and advertise widely.
Best regards,

Coming soon: Improvements for templates
Hello, more changes around templates are coming to your wiki soon:
The template dialog in VisualEditor and in the 2017 Wikitext Editor (beta) will be improved fundamentally: This should help users understand better what the template expects, how to navigate the template, and how to add parameters.
In syntax highlighting (CodeMirror extension), you can activate a colorblind-friendly color scheme with a user setting.
Deployment is planned for May 10. This is the last set of improvements from WMDE Technical Wishes' focus area “Templates”.
We would love to hear your feedback on our talk pages!

iframe embeds of Wikiversity pages
I am embedding some Wikiversity pages into a learning management system (Canvas) using iframe. This works fine, but includes the Wikiversity navigation bars etc. How can these be stripped out? Appending ?action=render to the embed URL allows the print version of the Wikiversity page to be embedded which is OK, but it loses the style. I found an implementation of what I'm looking for here: https://wiki.ubc.ca/Documentation:Embed_wiki_to_canvas_via_iframe which uses this extension: https://github.com/ubc/EmbedPage. How could something like this be achieved with Wikiversity? Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 13:28, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
- You could try using the Mobile view: https://en.m.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Main_Page . Does that help? Otherwise, it is possible to request an add-in, but someone has to "own" it and be responsible for maintenance. You might try asking at Phabricator: and see if anyone there has suggestions. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 16:45, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
