Hello everyone
If your country participated to Wiki Loves Africa this year, please fill
in this document to report about events held.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yX1GQHKCheUWkS0-uDlr700KOtvolRMQBHz…
I changed the form a bit this year, in hope to make it easier for you to
fill in quickly.
A few comments
* please only complete the tab related to your country
* please fill in the cells in light grey color
* if you organized more than 6 events... just add a column on the right....
* the list of usernames of participants at the bottom is a "nice to have"
* if you have taken pictures of your events, please add the best of them
to commons (do not only keep that for Facebook....)
* if you have planned other post-contest event... you can add them
later. But please add events which already took place.
Thank you for a quick feedback on this.
---------
As some of you are aware... this is grant season. And request for
funding next WLAf has to be done now.
A draft version is available here :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Yorg/Wiki_Loves_Africa_2017
We can not provide the final report for 2016 as the contest is not over
yet. But we will try to submit as much information as possible.
As such, we do need you to
1) fill up the event report document
2) send the supporting documentation of expenses to Elisabeth (I have
heard that some of you guys are not inline...)
Elisabeth mentionned
* no documents from : Algérie, Nigeria, Tunisie, Ouganda et Zimbabwe.
** no answer to her emails from : Tunisie, Algérie.*
Com'on guys... please. Just do it ;)
For those doing outreach.

Subject: [Wikimedia Education] Changes to the 'Save' button
To: Wikimedia Education <education(a)lists.wikimedia.org>,
glam(a)lists.wikimedia.org <glam(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
*Nutshell: The big, blue button will soon say "Publish page" instead of
"Save page", because when you click it, the contents get published on the
internet.*
I apologize for cross-posting this to the GLAM and Education lists:
A long-requested change to the "Save" button may finally happen towards the
end of March. This is a button that anyone leading a workshop about
editing is going to talk about, so I wanted to make sure that you didn't
get surprised by this change.
Last year, the WMF looked into an old request to clarify the language on
the "Save" button, which confuses some new contributors. The main problem
is that it is unclear whether "Save" means "save a private copy" (as it
does on most websites these days) or "irrevocably post this to the
internet". This confusion apparently explains a few unwanted behaviors,
such as editors who save the page ("just to be safe") before previewing
their changes.
There are some other reasons behind to do this: It creates some
inconsistency in the interface, as some things (e.g., Special:Preferences)
get saved but kept private, while other things (e.g., normal wiki pages)
get saved and immediately published. It is also difficult to translate the
label into some languages, as the word has multiple possible translations
in some languages.
The plan, therefore, is to change "Save" to "Publish". Instead of the big
blue[1] button saying "Save page" (for a new page) or "Save changes" (when
you edit an existing page), the button will instead say "Publish page" or
"Publish changes".
The upside to this small change is that new contributors will understand
that all of their edits go to the public immediately.[2] The downside is
that all of the documentation and help pages is going to be out of date.
This plan was announced on the wikis last August, and is tentatively
scheduled for sometime in March. I hope that this extra note will keep you
from getting surprised in front of a group and give you enough time to
update any handouts that you might be using in the future.
Relevant links:
- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T131132 – main task (best place to
figure out if this gets postponed again)
- Special:Translations&message=Publishpage
<https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translations&namespace=8&me…>
(translation
status)
- Special:Translations&message=Publishchanges
<https://translatewiki.net/w/i.php?title=Special:Translations&namespace=8&me…>
(translation
status)
[1] The color of this button in all of the older wikitext editors will be
changing this week. It's going to be big and blue.
[2] This is true even when the wiki is using FlaggedRevisions or
PendingChanges, because the un-accepted changes can be seen by the general
public from the history page or from &oldid URLs, regardless of whether the
revision has been accepted.

Dear Mr. or Ms.,
I thank you for your endorsements that led my IdeaLab Inspire proposal to be ranked first among more than 60 ideas. This is an honour for me.
Yours Sincerely,
Houcemeddine Turki
Here :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Toolkits_to_approach_outside…
The general idea : Creation of a set of supporting tools in two
languages (English and French) to use when approaching associations,
galleries, libraries, archives and museums, with an African flavor.
This is very much still an idea only. The last few months, I felt it was
needed.
But I'd like your feedback on this, ideas, criticisms etc.

Hi Flo,
Sorry, I already mistakenly ask you this question on Wikimedia-I list (I had thought it was African mailing list) but let me ask here again, is there a category we could place articles translated as part of 16 WikiWomen? If no, can we create a category for them in our local language Wikipedia? I mean adding something like "Category:16WikiWomen" to the talk page of translated article.
Best,
Isaac.
